Diesel Fuel Systems Calibration Engineer

Bosch Group•Farmington Hills, MI

About The Position

Bosch is seeking an entry-level Diesel Fuel Systems Calibration Engineer to support the development, calibration, and validation of diesel fuel-system control functions. The position is suited to a recent engineering graduate with relevant hands-on experience through internships, co-ops, university research, or student vehicle programs. The engineer will apply knowledge of engine systems, controls, and system-level engineering to solve calibration challenges and meet targets for emissions, fuel consumption, performance, drivability, diagnostics, and robustness. The role includes testing with engines, chassis dynamometers, test vehicles, test tracks, and open roads; analyzing measurement data; troubleshooting system-level issues; and communicating results to engineering teams and customers. The engineer will collaborate across controls, systems, software, hardware, and test disciplines, and support vehicle validation programs that include winter, summer, and altitude testing. Travel may be up to 12 weeks per year. The role is based in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

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 work-authorization sponsorship is unavailable.
