Systems Engineer Jobs

About The Position

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

• Previous internship, co-op, or project experience in diesel engine, fuel-system, powertrain, or controls calibration.
• Understanding of diesel engines and common-rail fuel-injection technologies.
• Hands-on experience with complex control functions and Electronic Control Units (ECUs).
• Experience with automotive calibration and data-acquisition tools such as ETAS INCA, CANape, or similar tools.
• Experience with engine dynamometer, chassis dynamometer, or vehicle testing.
• Understanding of the relationship between fuel injection, combustion, emissions, performance, fuel economy, and drivability.
• Experience with model-based calibration, data analytics, optimization, or automated calibration methods.
• Strong data-analysis and technical presentation skills.
• Passion for automotive engineering and hands-on development of complex powertrain systems.

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.
