Description:

Gasoline Engine Calibration Engineer We are seeking an experienced and technically strong Gasoline Engine Calibration Engineer to develop, test, and validate engine calibration features that deliver best-in-class fuel economy, drivability, and emissions compliance. The engineer will take ownership of one or more assigned features and lead their development across all environmental conditions and program phases. This position involves collaboration with domestic and international engineering teams, integration with cross-functional vehicle programs, and direct contribution to technical execution. We are looking for a self-driven calibration engineer with prior hands-on experience who can take ownership of assigned features with minimal ramp-up. The ideal candidate will be given direction and contacts, then take the initiative to connect with stakeholders, get into vehicles, assess calibration maturity, and begin execution independently. This is not a "data-in/data-out" role - success requires both technical depth and creative problem-solving to deliver high-quality, balanced calibrations.



Responsibilities include but not limited to:

  • Own the development and validation of assigned gasoline engine calibration features to meet emissions, fuel economy, and drivability targets across various markets.
  • Act as the feature lead within the engine application team for assigned calibrations, ensuring successful integration and performance across program milestones.
  • Take initiative to drive calibration feature development from early assessment through final validation - including coordinating with stakeholders, scheduling vehicle access, and proactively identifying gaps.
  • Deliver robust calibrations for assigned features across development phases, including testing in hot, cold, and high-altitude environments.
  • Analyze and interpret large datasets (dyno and vehicle), identify system-level issues, and propose calibration or hardware solutions.
  • Collaborate with engine controls, hardware development, emissions, and vehicle integration teams to ensure cross-functional alignment.
  • Work closely with global teams to develop calibration strategies that meet international compliance and market needs.
  • Blend technical precision with creative thinking to deliver calibration solutions that balance fuel economy, emissions, and drivability.
  • Work both independently and collaboratively across departments to meet vehicle-level objectives and milestones.
  • Actively seek help or escalate issues when needed, while maintaining ownership of the outcome.
  • Present risks, development status, and technical recommendations to engineering leadership.
