Description
As a Powertrain Calibration Ford Champ, you will be responsible for the development, testing, validation, and release of propulsion system calibrations for both Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) and electrified powertrains (xEV, FHEV, PHEV). This role is designed to build foundational knowledge in vehicle performance, drivability, fuel economy, emissions, and On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) systems.
Key responsibilities include assisting with software releases, participating in lab and real-world testing, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to support continuous quality improvement.
Calibration & Integration: Assist in developing calibrations (combustion, emissions, OBD) and integrating complex powertrain features like NVH, shift quality, and thermal management.
Extreme-Environment Testing: Validate vehicle attributes on dynamometers, virtual simulators (HIL/SIL), and during exciting, real-world development trips in extreme climates and altitudes.
Software & Release Control: Coordinate critical software releases and manage part configurations across corporate database systems.
Cross-Functional Launch Support: Collaborate with controls, integration, and manufacturing teams to troubleshoot quality issues and ensure flawless vehicle launches.
