Position Summary
We are seeking an experiencedPropulsion Calibration Engineer specializing in automatic transmission calibration, validation, and optimization.
The Transmission Calibration Engineer will be responsible for developing, calibrating, validating, and optimizing automatic transmission systems. This role supports vehicle programs throughout the development lifecycle by utilizing subjective evaluations, objective measurements, data analysis, and calibration development to achieve transmission shift quality targets and customer satisfaction objectives.
The engineer will collaborate with calibration, controls, testing, and vehicle integration teams to identify technical issues, develop corrective actions, execute validation activities, and support successful vehicle launches.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop, calibrate, validate, and optimize automatic transmission systems to meet performance, drivability, and shift quality requirements.
- Perform calibration of gear changes to ensure smooth transmission operation and optimal vehicle performance.
- Calibrate transmission functions, including:
- Torque blending.
- Gearbox self-adaptive systems.
- Torque bypass.
- Anti-overspeed protection.
- Temperature compensation strategies.
- Drag reduction.
- Turbine torque recovery functions.
- Calibration safety features.
- Validate engine and powertrain (PWT) behavior during gear shifts.
- Evaluate powertrain performance during lock-up phases and intra-powertrain exchanges.
- Validate engine software functionality during each phase of vehicle development.
- Evaluate and approve hardware modifications, including gear ratio changes.
- Analyze calibration data to identify performance gaps and develop effective countermeasures.
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to resolve calibration and integration issues.
- Support transmission calibration validation activities and vehicle launch readiness.
- 5+ years of experience in automatic transmission calibration, drivability and emissions calibration, and hybrid powertrain calibration.
- Experience inPowertrain Systems Engineering, including engine hardware development, controls/software development, and calibration.
- Strong understanding of automatic transmission systems, engine performance, and vehicle drivability.
- Experience with calibration management tools such asINCA, AVL CRETA, or equivalent.
- Knowledge of vehicle communication and diagnostic tools such asCANalyzer or similar applications.
- Proficiency in advanced data analysis and engineering tools, includingMATLAB and Simulink.
- Knowledge of control systems, software development, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) validation methodologies.
- Strong understanding of engine systems and the overall vehicle operating environment.
- Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
- Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
- High proficiency in English.
- Self-motivated with a willingness to continuously learn, improve, and adapt to new technologies.
