Work Arrangement:

Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Milford, MI, three times per week, at minimum or other frequency dictated by the business.

The Role:

We are seeking an energetic candidate for the position of Calibration/Verification Engineer within GM’s Vehicle Software and Electronics Engineering group.

The position involves significant in-vehicle, lab, automation and simulation work, along with related analytical and performance verification activities. Calibration engineers engage in cross-functional teams, are expected to handle multiple projects/priorities, and frequently need to balance planned and unplanned work.

Calibration engineers participate in offsite development trips as well as onsite program team vehicle evaluations. The primary location for this role is at the Milford Proving Ground in support of vehicle and propulsion systems (EV, Chassis, Brakes, Engine, Transmission, etc..) development.

The selected candidate will deliver calibrations that ensure features/diagnostic functionality and robustness. Successful candidates will utilize system hardware/software troubleshooting skills to resolve complex issues and complete their standard work. Candidates will analyze large sets of data collected during various driving maneuvers (in simulation, dyno, and vehicle), tune the system response through calibration and identify areas requiring a change in controls.
