Role Summary
We are looking for a hard-working Advanced Engine Development Engineer, who is responsible for planning, developing, and executing subsystem level tests in a world class testing and development facility. Tasks also include participating within cross functional development teams, data analysis, calibration development, identifying opportunities for data reduction, and leading the migration of lab-based activities to math is required. This is an assignment where creativity, initiative and independent judgment are involved, and effective cross-organizational teamwork is crucial.
Key Responsibilities
• Follow development test unit through build process – support setup and debugging to assure test readiness
• Actively report out timeline/results/conclusions/recommendations to the Advanced or Product Development Teams while collaborating with Technical Experts to improve current test methods, design features and calibration strategies. This may involve comprehending related ECU algorithms, associated calibration process, and evaluation of virtual metrics supporting hardware decision making
• Collaborate with design, 1D and 3D analysis teams to collectively achieve program goals
• Develop and execute first-time capable tests for calibration and hardware development evaluation
• Lead diagnosis and resolution of issues that occur during setup and testing
• Utilize and create post processing tools to assure data quality and track usefulness of data in generation of final calibration or reports
• Develop, implement, and update standard work processes and procedures globally
• Interact with facilities, technical leads, calibration teams, hardware release engineers, and other cross functional units to improve process and test efficiency
• Support math-based activities, migrating additional work from Road and Lab to Math based models and data analysis
• Train, mentor, and develop new engineers
