Description
In this position, you will provide technical leadership to the calibration team to enable delivery of the propulsion attributes for all global programs that utilize the powerpack with maximum efficiency. The position requires a self-motivated technical leader who can lead creation and maintenance of the calibration processes to ensure robust calibration delivery. The technical specialist is responsible for sign-off of the technical attributes and validation of the released calibration. The technical specialist is the go-to problem-solving individual in the department to lead resolution of launch, recall, and field quality issues.
The technical specialist role provides mentoring, coaching, and training for the engineers within the department. The responsibilities include providing technical leadership for engine calibration to deliver propulsion attributes, using data-driven sign-off and validation to meet measures of success. The technical specialist will also lead calibration workgroup meetings to ensure calibration commonality among powerpack applications.
Key responsibilities include:
- Providing technical leadership for engine calibration to deliver propulsion attributes
- Leading calibration workgroup meetings to ensure calibration commonality among powerpack applications
- Serving as a mentor/coach for calibrators and guiding issue resolution
- Developing new and innovative techniques to continuously improve quality and reduce calibration development time
- Leading interface meetings with engine and transmission teams to ensure proper alignment between hardware, calibration, and program targets
- Reviewing completion and sign-off of the calibration release checklist prior to every CFX release
- Partnering with commodity TE community (gasoline and diesel) to achieve common global processes where appropriate and beneficial
- Leading creation of new APRs to proactively reduce errors and respond to gPR actions
- Promoting and leading the use of the latest calibration tools and methods
- Ensuring that current calibration guides reflect the latest best practices and lessons learned
- Leading in-vehicle or lab data acquisition using ATI and other systems as required to support calibration development and sign-off, including test trips
- Leading resolution of emerging QSF and other ongoing field quality issues
- Supporting training and coaching of calibration team and participating in GSR-related workgroup discussions
The ideal candidate will have a B.S. (M.S. preferred) in engineering (mechanical or electrical) or other B.S. in engineering with adequate powertrain experience. The candidate should have 10+ years of powertrain experience and 6+ years of powertrain calibration experience, including program delivery through launch and quality tracking.
