The Active Feature Calibration - Dynamics team is seeking a highly motivated and experienced All-Wheel Drive (AWD)/Traction Control System (TCS)/Electronic Stability Control (ESC) calibration engineer to join our team. This role will be responsible for calibration development and verification of AWD/TCS/ESC and related features across various functional areas within electrified and traditional powertrains. The successful candidate will drive calibration maturity and be able to understand & present technical tradeoffs while consistently working cross-functionally to achieve program objectives, ensuring the highest standards of safety, regulatory compliance, and customer-focused driving performance. This position requires strong technical expertise in calibration methodologies, excellent organizational skills, and the ability to lead and track complex and dynamic development cycles.

The specific responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Development, validation, and regular fleet releases of advanced vehicle traction and controls systems calibrations
• AWD – AWD front/rear torque ratio control, slip control, and yaw control
• TCS – Traction control calibration
• ESC – Electronic stability control calibration
• LSD – Electronically limited-slip differential calibration
• eLocker – Electronically locking differential calibration
• Vertical Dynamics – Ride height, air springs, and active damper calibration
• Collect and analyze in-vehicle data to drive calibration maturity
• Operate and ride in vehicles at and past traction limits, at high lateral/longitudinal loads
• Operate and navigate software models within Simulink
• Continuous, cross-functional work with various feature teams to solve complex vehicle performance challenges
• Work with controls engineers to develop a strong understanding of the system and improve algorithms to meet program goals
• Domestic and international travel for environmental trips to ensure robust calibration and validation in:

*

• High mu - Various paved test surfaces and off-site tracks (road courses, drag strips, etc.)
• Low mu – Snow and ice test track facilities
• Mixed mu - Off-road, ice/pavement split surfaces

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical/automotive engineering or related field
• Minimum of 5 years' automotive calibration and/or controls experience
