Full Job Description
Job Description:

Electrified Powertrain Application Calibrator to join our dynamic team. This role will be responsible for supporting the propulsion system calibration development and validation activities for the application as well as carrying out the release validation for power cube calibration releases across various functional areas within electrified powertrains. The successful candidate will work cross-functionally to help the team achieve program objectives, ensuring the highest standards of safety, regulatory compliance, and performance. This position requires strong technical expertise in calibration methodologies, excellent organizational skills, and the ability to excel in dynamic development cycles.

Job Responsibilities:

As an Electrified Powertrain Application Calibrator, your key responsibilities will include:
  • Support the development and verification of power cube (PCAL) calibration releases within the following functional areas: Powermoding, Thermal Management, LV/HV Charging Calibration, Battery Management, Motor Control, and other calibration features that fall within the PCAL perimeter of responsibility.
  • Take a hands-on approach to finding and fixing issues with direct involvement in-vehicle and other test resources.
  • Work cross-functionally with other calibration subsystems to review issues and implement robust solutions, adhering to best practices and established calibration methodologies.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in data collection, post-processing, and analysis during calibration release DVP (Design Verification Plan) activities. This includes the analysis of functional models to root cause and document controls and software issues blocking calibration progress.
  • Perform virtual and in-vehicle testingto validate calibration maturity at each of the vehicle milestones throughout the program lifecycle.
  • Participate in cross-functional test trips when required, ensuring efficient use of resources, timely completion of objectives.
  • Regularly document the usage of PCAL test resources (both virtual and physical) for all subsystems.
  • Support calibration feature maturity status tracking for PCAL feature status assessments based on feature support assignment. Review new feature specific controls and SW content and work with feature calibration teams to review default values.
  • Maintain proficiency in basic computer skills (MS Office Suite, SharePoint, Kanban) and demonstrate expertise in calibration tool suites (ETAS/INCA, MATLAB, Simulink, Vector). Familiarity with various platforms that interface with dyno and virtual testing (HIL) is also required.
  • Demonstrate careful attention to detail and excellent organizational skills in all aspects of work.

Requirements
  • Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Mathematics or Statistics from an accredited university.
  • Excellent English communication skills
  • 3-5 years of proven experience in powertrain calibration, particularly with electrified vehicle systems.
  • Strong understanding of vehicle systems, controls, and software development processes.
  • Expertise in calibration tool suites (ETAS/INCA, MATLAB, Simulink, Canalyzer).
  • Experience with HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) and dyno testing platforms.
  • Proficiency in data analysis and root cause identification using functional models.
  • Outstanding problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Effective communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work as a part of a team.
  • Valid driver's license
  • 100% onsite

Preferred Skills:
  • 5+ years of calibration experience including at least one complete program development/launch cycle.
  • Familiarity with Stellantis internal processes & standards
  • Knowledge of statistics and statistical methods.
  • Knowledge of the dyno environment and tools related to it, such as: Puma, Cameo, Indicom, Concerto.
  • Experience with MATLAB scripting and other useful data processing languages/tool sets (e.g., Python, JavaScript/NodeJS, PowerApps, PowerBI).
  • "AI Native" approach to work-stream efficiency.
