Powertrain Obd Calibration Engineer

Ford Ford · Auto · Dearborn, MI +1 · PD Operations and Quality

This role focuses on powertrain OBD calibration for Diesel applications within Ford's Vehicle Powertrain Systems Engineering team. The engineer will evaluate and assess vehicle attributes, conduct vehicle testing, calibrate OBD monitor features, and use models/simulation for optimization. The position requires a Bachelor's degree in Engineering and experience in powertrain calibration with vehicle/dyno testing.

What you'd actually do

  1. Calibrate and sign-off OBD Monitor Features for future MY Diesel Programs.
  2. Use models and simulation to reduce testing and optimize powertrain calibrations.
  3. Evaluate and assess vehicle attributes (diagnostics, performance, emissions, NVH) on vehicles and in engine dynamometer test cells.
  4. Modify vehicle and powertrain control calibrations to improve performance, emissions, and diagnostics.
  5. Document progress and methods used to calibrate / validate diagnostic monitors within responsibility.
