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 calibrating 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 ABS, TCS, ESC and Trailer Sway Control. 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, controls and processes. 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.
Job Responsibility:
Champion the safety of our employees and customers
Calibrate and integrate performance features to meet vehicle requirements
Take ownership of assigned feature on multiple programs in parallel
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 Procedures, LADV, Deliverables, Master Calibration, etc.)
Improve the efficiency and quality of Standard Work by systematically driving present vehicle-based tasks into virtual, HiL and CoSim workpackages
Lead technical calibration peer reviews and leadership reviews for assigned program
Lead 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
Requirements:
