Senior Calibration Engineer — Drivability and Performance

for powertrain calibration. This position requires a passionate engineer with expertise in subjective assessment, electric powertrains, and control theory to calibrate accelerator pedal response, hold functions, and other related systems. Our ideal candidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches their work with vigor and determination. Candidates will be expected to follow a first-principles approach to solving problems, make data-driven decisions, communicate well, and work effectively in a fast-paced environment.

Role Responsibilities

Calibrate industry-leading torque control systems on high performance vehicles to achieve performance, drivability, and efficiency goals. Define attribute goals for drivability and work with powertrain, chassis, and other controls engineers to tune hardware and software simultaneously to achieve them. Work closely with controls engineers to develop a strong understanding of the system and improve algorithms to meet attribute goals. Travel to test facilities near-by and around the world to calibrate systems in all relevant situations.
