Senior Calibration Assistant Vehicle Dynamics and Chassis Controls Calibration

Job Description

Our Mission:
At General Motors our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen but to be felt. Were turning todays impossible into tomorrows standard from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design intelligent software and next-generation safety and entertainment features.

Every day our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer smarter and more connected shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.

The Role:

The Vehicle Dynamics & Chassis Controls Senior Calibration Assistant supports the development execution and delivery of chassis controls and vehicle dynamics calibrations across multiple vehicle programs. This role focuses on handson vehicle and bench work test execution data collection and firstlevel analysis in support of calibration engineers Feature Strategists and Calibration Technical Specialists.

You will work closely with the VDSE VMC ITBC and DMC calibration teams to ensure vehicles benches and virtual tools are prepared tests are run efficiently and safely and data is organized and ready for engineering decisions. This is an excellent role for someone who enjoys being close to the hardware and the vehicle wants to deepen their understanding of vehicle dynamics and chassis controls.

What Youll Do:

Test & Development Support

• Prepare and maintain development vehicles for chassis controls and vehicle dynamics work including software updates calibration loads and basic instrumentation.

• Coordinate with garages labs and proving grounds to schedule vehicles shop time and instrumentation for development validation and winter testing.

• Execute directed test plans (onroad proving ground winter test sites and bench/HIL) under the guidance of calibration engineers and calibration TSs.

• Operate data acquisition and logging tools (e.g. VD/Chassis loggers CAN/Ethernet tools IMU/WSS data capture) and ensure highquality datasets for analysis.

• Support bench and HIL/SIL test execution including loading software/calibrations configuring scenarios and monitoring runs.

Calibration & Software Handling

• Load and manage calibration and software content on vehicles and benches using standard toolchains (e.g. CRETA/CalPortal SPR/VeSCoM flows JIRAdriven patches) following established release and traceability processes.

• Maintain accurate records of calibration sets software versions and hardware configurations for each vehicle/bench used in testing.

• Perform basic calibration adjustments and A/B comparisons under engineering direction (e.g. simple parameter sweeps patch evaluation) and document outcomes.

Data & Issue Handling

• Postprocess and organize test data (time histories objective metrics driver feedback) into formats usable by calibration and performance engineers.

• Create concise test summaries (conditions configurations key observations anomalies) and share with responsible engineers and Feature Strategists.

• Assist in reproducing and documenting issues/PRTS collecting necessary logs screenshots and configuration details to support rootcause analysis.

Vehicle & Asset Readiness

• Lead daytoday readiness for assigned vehicles/benches including basic diagnostics fault clearing when appropriate and coordination for repairs or hardware changes.

• Coordinate instrumentation installs and removals (e.g. wheel force transducers additional sensors brake pressure ride height etc.) with internal or supplier teams as needed.

• Support trip planning and logistics for development work (e.g. winter test trips) including vehicle prep parts/tools lists and loadin/loadout.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Work closely with Calibration Engineers Feature Strategists Calibration TS HIL/SIL teams and Performance Engineers to ensure smooth execution of plans and quick feedback loops.

• Provide feedback on procedures checklists and tools to improve efficiency repeatability and safety in calibration execution.

• Support the teams calibration modernization efforts by helping exercise virtual methods automation scripts and standardized test procedures.

Required Qualifications:

• Associate degree in Automotive Technology Mechanical Engineering Technology Electrical/Electronic Technology or related field OR equivalent handson experience in vehicle testing diagnostics or calibration support.

• Demonstrated experience working with vehicles instrumentation or test environments (e.g. garage proving ground HIL dyno or similar).

• Basic understanding of vehicle dynamics and chassis systems (braking stability control traction control suspension steering or related).

• Comfort using PCbased tools for data logging basic analysis (Excel plotting tools) and software/calibration download utilities.

• Strong attention to detail and organization particularly around configuration control version tracking and documentation.

• Ability to follow detailed test procedures and safety guidelines and to recognize when to stop and escalate issues.

• Effective communication skills and the ability to work in a fastpaced crossfunctional development environment.

• Willingness and ability to travel and work flexible hours when required by test schedules.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Electrical or Automotive Engineering (or related discipline).

• Handson experience with chassis controls or vehicle dynamics testing such as ABS/ESC/TCS VDSE ride/handling or similar.

• Familiarity with GM calibration and software tools (e.g. CRETA/CalPortal SPR/VeSCoM/JIRA Cal Planner CAN/Ethernet logging tools).

• Experience with HIL/SIL environments or simulationbased testing for vehicle dynamics or chassis controls.

• Prior involvement in winter testing or lowmu surface development work.

• Basic scripting or automation skills (e.g. MATLAB Python or similar) for data processing or test support.
