Powertrain Calibration Technician
About The Position
The Powertrain Calibration Technician reports directly to the Marine Calibration team leader and develops powertrain calibration for marine products. The role contributes to product development, customer expectations, and technical innovation related to engine control. It supports 4-stroke powertrain calibration projects and product development in collaboration with calibration engineers; performs optimization testing on engine dynamometers and marine vehicles under real-world conditions; instruments prototypes and ensures measurement data quality; and collaborates on ECU software and powertrain architecture. The technician troubleshoots mechanical, electrical, and sensor issues on test benches and during on-water testing, optimizes ECU calibration strategies to meet emissions and performance targets, and participates in hot-weather, cold-weather, and high-altitude validation campaigns. The role also requires learning the team's processes and tools, preparing detailed test reports, documenting procedures, and communicating data-analysis results to the engineering team. This position is required to be onsite full time in the Palm Bay, Florida office, with travel up to 10% based on business needs. Relocation support is not provided; candidates must be willing and able to relocate at their own expense. Current work authorization is required, and sponsorship is not provided now or in the future.
Requirements
- Five years of experience and a strong understanding of engine operation, transmissions, and general concepts of physics, thermodynamics, mechanics, electricity, and emissions.
- Proven experience driving marine vehicles or working with mechatronic systems.
- Dynamic and motivated by technical challenges, with a strong interest in recreational products.
- Must work onsite full time in the Palm Bay, Florida office.
- Travel up to 10% of the year based on business needs.
