Stellantis
Gasoline Engine Calibration Engineer - HEV Programs
Stellantis, Chelsea, Michigan, United States, 48118
We are seeking an experienced and technically strong Engine Calibration Engineer to lead the development, testing, and validation of engine calibration features for Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) applications. The engineer will own one or more gasoline engine features -- such as torque delivery, catalyst light-off, cold start behavior, or thermal management -- and ensure they perform reliably and efficiently within a hybrid system.
While this role focuses specifically on internal combustion engine (ICE) calibration, it requires a strong understanding of how the engine interfaces with electrified propulsion components, including battery systems, electric motors, and hybrid supervisory controls. Candidates with strong gasoline engine calibration experience are encouraged to apply; hybrid experience is a plus, not a requirement.
Success in this role depends on technical depth in ICE systems and the ability to collaborate across hybrid teams to ensure smooth vehicle integration and system-level performance.
Key Responsibilities:
Own the development and validation of engine calibration features (e.g., torque control, catalyst light-off, idle control, engine start/stop behavior) that support hybrid vehicle functionality.
Act as the feature lead for assigned calibrations, ensuring integration with hybrid supervisory controls, thermal systems, and propulsion architecture.
Proactively drive feature development across phases -- including test planning, vehicle access, data analysis, and gap resolution.
Conduct in-vehicle and dyno-based testing in hot, cold, and high-altitude environments.
Analyze large datasets to identify system-level issues and propose calibration or hardware solutions.
Collaborate closely with hybrid controls, battery management, emissions, hardware, and vehicle integration teams.
Interface with global teams to ensure calibration strategies align with international compliance and market requirements.
