Summary
Job Details
Description
Key Responsibilities:
Develop and execute calibration strategies for GPF systems on HEVs, including:
Soot Loading Control:
Develop and implement strategies to minimize soot accumulation in the GPF under various driving conditions.
Optimize regeneration strategies to effectively remove soot from the GPF while minimizing fuel consumption and emissions (e.g., NOx, HC).
Analyze and address potential issues related to soot loading, such as excessive soot accumulation, incomplete regeneration, and filter plugging.
PM Emissions Control:
Calibrate engine and aftertreatment systems to minimize PM emissions across the entire vehicle operating range, including transient and steady-state conditions.
Analyze and optimize GPF performance parameters, such as filter efficiency, pressure drop, and regeneration frequency.
Gasoline Emissions Control:
Collaborate with other calibration engineers to ensure optimal control of gasoline engine emissions, including NOx, HC, and CO, while minimizing their impact on GPF performance.
Analyze and address potential interactions between gasoline engine emissions and GPF operation.
Conduct bench and vehicle testing to evaluate GPF performance and validate calibration strategies.
Analyze test data using advanced data analysis techniques to identify trends, diagnose issues, and optimize calibration parameters.
Utilize engine simulation tools and other engineering software to model and predict GPF performance.
Develop and maintain calibration documentation and reports.
Collaborate with other engineering disciplines, such as engine design, aftertreatment development, and controls engineering, to resolve technical challenges.
Stay abreast of the latest advancements in emissions regulations, aftertreatment technologies, and hybrid vehicle architectures.
May be required to support occasional travel for testing and meetings.
Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field.
3+ years of experience in powertrain calibration, with a strong focus on emissions systems.
Experience with gasoline engine operation, emissions systems (including three-way catalysts, lean NOx traps, etc.), and aftertreatment systems (including GPFs, DPFs, SCR).
Strong understanding of hybrid vehicle architectures and their impact on emissions.
Experience with engine and vehicle testing procedures and data analysis techniques.
Proficiency in using engine simulation tools and other engineering software.
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Ability to work effectively in a team environment and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field.
Experience with HEV calibration, specifically related to emissions control.
Knowledge of model-based control systems and their application to emissions control.
Experience with using advanced data analysis tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python).
Experience with developing and implementing calibration strategies for complex systems.
