About the role

Activities:

  • Perform electric powertrain calibration and validation activities at vehicle and component levels.
  • Own and deliver calibration for specific features (e.g., eLocker) with on-time, high-quality releases.
  • Increase calibration maturity and readiness through program milestones up to SOP in accordance with Client processes.
  • Supervise and ensure correct implementation of CAN/LIN communication at the vehicle level.
  • Flash control units and maintain test vehicles with the latest software releases.
  • Contribute with the validation engineer at the numerical and physical validation plan creation
  • Analyze test results versus design requirements and propose calibration or control improvements.
  • Debug embedded EVCU SW models and support issue resolution.
  • Propose corrections and improvements to Simulink models and control strategies.
  • Ensure smooth data/command exchange between xCUs impacting the powertrain and proper HMI behavior (physical/visual).
  • Monitor and support implementation of PWT benches aligned with project needs.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with controls teams, suppliers, and chief engineers; lead/organize technical meetings.
  • Track and resolve issues with suppliers and internal partners within area of expertise.
