About The Position

Bosch is seeking an entry-level Diesel Fuel Systems Calibration Engineer to support development, calibration, and validation of diesel fuel-system control functions. The role is suited to a recent engineering graduate with relevant hands-on experience from internships, co-ops, university research, or student vehicle programs. The engineer will apply knowledge of engine systems, controls, and system-level engineering, using modern engineering tools to address calibration challenges. The position is based in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and includes support for vehicle validation programs, including winter, summer, and altitude testing. Travel may be up to 12 weeks per year. Candidates must be authorized to work indefinitely in the United States; future work-authorization sponsorship is unavailable. Employment is contingent on successfully completing a drug screen and background check.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Mechatronics, or a closely related engineering discipline.
1–3 years of experience with engine controls, powertrain systems, fuel systems, or vehicle technologies through an internship, co-op, professional experience, university research, Formula SAE, EcoCAR, or a similar vehicle program.
Fundamental understanding of internal combustion engines, control systems, sensors, actuators, and feedback control.
Strong system-level problem-solving and analytical skills.
Experience with engineering data-acquisition, analysis, and modeling tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, ETAS tools, or comparable engineering environments.
Experience using Python as an engineering analysis or automation tool.
Exposure to AI or machine-learning methods applied to engineering problems or engineering data.
Strong technical communication and teamwork skills.
Valid driver's license and willingness and ability to travel up to 12 weeks per year for vehicle testing and validation.
Indefinite U.S. work authorization; future sponsorship for work authorization is unavailable.
Successful completion of a drug screen and background check before the start date.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

Develop, optimize, and validate diesel fuel-system control parameters to meet targets for emissions, fuel consumption, performance, drivability, diagnostics, and robustness.
Perform calibration and validation using engine and chassis dynamometers, test vehicles, test tracks, and open-road testing.
Calibrate and evaluate fuel-system functions, including rail-pressure control, injection quantity and timing, multiple-injection strategies, and diagnostic functions.
Analyze interactions among ECU software and controls, calibration parameters, sensors, actuators, fuel-system components, and engine behavior.
Plan and execute calibration tests, analyze measurement data, evaluate results against engineering targets, and recommend calibration changes.
Use and support development of calibration and data-acquisition tools for data analysis, model-based calibration, optimization, and automation.
Perform system-level troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of fuel-system, controls, calibration, and vehicle-performance issues.
Evaluate and present engine, powertrain, and vehicle test results and communicate technical conclusions to engineering teams and customers.
Collaborate with controls, systems, software, hardware, and test engineers to resolve technical issues and achieve project targets.
Participate in local and international calibration networks to exchange technical knowledge and stay current with control-system and calibration developments.
Support vehicle validation programs, including winter, summer, and altitude testing, with travel of up to 12 weeks per year.
