ECM OBD Calibration Engineer

Stellantis•Chelsea, MI

About The Position

Stellantis is hiring an On-Board Diagnostic Calibration Engineer to develop new OBD strategies for gasoline engine control systems and develop and validate compliant calibrations for future propulsion system programs. The role involves reviewing system and software designs, generating test plans, and managing vehicle, test-bench, and virtual resources. The engineer will work cross-functionally with hardware development, controls and software development, program management, test fleet support, vehicle teams, and compliance teams. The engineer will guide instrumentation of electrical and physical systems and use and review data from INCA acquisition software to confirm desired diagnostic behavior. They will gather functional requirements and milestones, then plan and execute development to support on-time product launches. Projects involve new and legacy gasoline propulsion technologies, distributed control architectures, engine and electric motor control, and interactions with energy storage and management systems. The role requires travel for system validation and verification for approximately 1–4 weeks throughout the year, as well as work in vehicles and climatic test environments.
