Senior Engineer - Vehicle Controls Calibration

Position Overview: We are currently seeking a passionate and experienced Senior Engineer for Vehicle Controls Calibration. This role requires expertise in vehicle dynamics and control theory to calibrate traction control, torque vectoring, and related systems. Our ideal candidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches their work with vigor and determination. Candidates will be expected to follow a first-principles approach to solving problems, make data-driven decisions, communicate effectively, and work efficiently in a fast-paced environment.

Role/Responsibilities:

Calibrate industry-leading in-house chassis controls systems on high-performance vehicles to achieve performance, drivability, handling, and stability goals. Collaborate closely with vehicle dynamics and other calibration engineers to understand attribute goals and tune hardware and software simultaneously to achieve them. Work with controls engineers to develop a strong understanding of the system and improve algorithms to meet attribute goals. Travel to test facilities nearby and around the world to calibrate systems in all relevant situations. Develop and execute test plans to validate calibrations against subjective, objective, and functional safety requirements.

Qualifications:

Strong knowledge of vehicle dynamics, electric powertrains, and control theory fundamentals. A first-principles approach to understanding new systems and solving problems. Extensive experience in chassis controls calibration (traction, stability, ABS, torque vectoring, etc.), particularly for electric or high-performance applications. Ability to work effectively with others: receive and provide feedback clearly, kindly, and constructively. Data-driven: translate subjective feedback into effective calibration changes through data analysis and sound reasoning. Superb written communication skills. Document progress and findings consistently and deliberately. Experience with relevant engineering tools, including a calibration interface like Vector CANape, ECU diagnostic tools, Matlab/Simulink, Git, etc. Driving experience recommended. BS degree in electrical, computer, mechanical, or other related technical discipline. 4+ years of relevant professional experience.
