Hybrd Electric Vehicle (xHEV) Calibration Engineer

Stellantis•Auburn Hills, MI

About The Position

The Hybrid Electric Vehicle Calibration Engineer leads calibration development for assigned functional items in the Electric Vehicle Control Unit (EVCU), from initial dynamometer testing through early mule vehicle development and production for next-generation xHEV propulsion systems. The role covers application and optimization of control systems for production. The engineer documents and justifies EVCU calibration changes through development and test plans, and presents changes to the lead calibrator and senior management as appropriate. The engineer participates in or leads the Center of Excellence (CoE) team for their functional areas, reviews new calibrations, and works with calibrators and controls engineers to verify initial calibration values through software change request reviews at each new software release. The role coordinates calibration merges with other functional leads and carries production-release responsibility for EVCU software and calibrations. The engineer supports dynamometer commissioning and first-run activities, works with the EVCU controls team to ensure features operate effectively, trains new calibration engineers and others on ePT vehicle and control operation, and supports development trips and reporting to senior management. They collaborate with CoE teams to follow best practices and serve as the lead contact for system issues in their functional area. A collaborative, team-oriented approach is expected.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
At least 5 years of calibration experience.
Good oral and written communication skills and the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
High level of analytical ability and creativity.
Ability to balance work effectively across multiple issues.
Ability to execute disciplined test plans and verification processes to ensure quality calibrations are released.
Strong knowledge of the powertrain system.
Foundational knowledge of AI agent development and related tools.
Ability to work collaboratively as a team player and support team accomplishments.
