Chassis Controls Calibration Engineer

Descripción

Hybrid: This position does not require an employee to be on-site full-time to perform most effectively. The employee’s role enables them to be onsite approximately 3 days per week

The Role:

We are seeking an exceptional candidate to join our Active Chassis Calibration team at GM’s Milford Proving Grounds.

Our team develops and delivers world-class vehicle dynamics performance to our customers through innovative Chassis and Brake Controls features.  The Calibration Engineer is responsible for the application of actively controlled chassis technologies in order to provide safe and confident vehicle performance to the end user.  Some examples of the features and functions include Value Added Functions, ABS, TCS, ESC and VDCore.

Active Chassis calibration is highly dynamic work involving significant hands-on time spent driving, evaluating and calibrating vehicles, deep technical analysis of the resulting data, and efforts to continually enhance the underlying algorithm and controls.  In addition to in-vehicle work, calibration engineers utilize advanced tools to achieve their goals including vehicle simulation environments, HiL benches and DiL simulators.  The engineers accomplish this work among a collaborative team of peer calibrators, algorithm specialists, HiL engineers, system feature owners and performance engineers.

Candidates should possess experience with vehicle control systems, in-vehicle performance evaluation, vehicle dynamics, calibration experience in a complex technology area, along with demonstrated planning, communication, teamwork, and prioritization skills.

What You’ll do:

• Champion the safety of our employees and customers
• Calibrate and integrate performance features to meet vehicle requirements
• Deliver calibrations according to program milestone timing
• Work collaboratively with algorithm team to identify and solve issues
• Work with performance engineers to seek feedback and ensure vehicle performance meets VTS/SSTS
• Develop common approaches and institutionalize them in Calibration Standard Work (Calibration Processes, Procedures, etc.)
• Improve the efficiency and quality of Standard Work by systematically driving present vehicle-based tasks into virtual, HiL and CoSim workpackages
• Support technical calibration peer reviews and leadership reviews
• Support resolution of vehicle, plant, service, and customer issues
• Provide input to VTS, STS, SSTS, and CTS specifications as applicable
• Ensure compliance with government regulations and GM policies
• Document and integrate Lessons Learned from development and field issues into algorithms and Calibration Standard Work
• Adhere to all safety precautions and requirements, treating safety as the top priority during all work activities

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or similar
• Minimum of 2 years of relevant engineering experience (vehicle dynamics, chassis performance, calibration of a complex feature, etc.)
• Thorough physics-based knowledge of vehicle dynamics, brake systems, tire performance, propulsion systems
• Exercises independent judgment with minimal input from leadership
• High level of analytical problem-solving skills where problems are unusual and difficult
• Hands-on experience with vehicle dynamics performance
• Experience with measurement equipment, vehicle instrumentation, data acquisition and analysis
• Position requires the ability to travel for cold weather testing in for 6 – 8 weeks
• Ability to travel for development and ride trips interspersed throughout the year
• GM Level 2 (and ability to achieve at least Level 3)

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Skills)

• MS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or similar
• High level of oral and written communication skills
• High level of interpersonal and collaboration skills
• Prior experience working in Brake Controls
• Experience working in multiple functional areas within controls/calibration
• Experience developing/executing GM standard calibration processes
• Experience with in-vehicle development tools (INCA, NeoVI, etc)
• Experience with Matlab/Simulink
• Experience with GM simulation tools (CarSim, CarMaker)
• GM Level 3 or higher & OR1 / OR2 driver
