Our expertise spans design, development, testing, manufacturing, and performance optimization, driven by a commitment to innovation and excellence.

Job Summary
We are seeking a seasoned Control Systems Engineer with 7+ years of experience in engine testing, vehicle calibration, emissions compliance, and On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). The ideal candidate will have proven experience collaborating with OEMs to optimize propulsion systems, ensure compliance, and deliver production-ready solutions. Expertise in dyno/vehicle testing, OBD strategy development, and interpreting OEM requirements is critical for success in this role.

Key Responsibilities
  • Engine & Vehicle Calibration:
    • Develop and optimize control algorithms for internal combustion engines (ICE) and hybrid systems, aligning with OEM performance, drivability, and durability targets.
    • Conduct dyno and vehicle-level calibration for emissions, fuel economy, and compliance with OEM-specific standards.
  • Emissions & OBD Compliance:
    • Design and validate OBD strategies to meet OEM and regulatory requirements (EPA, CARB, Euro 6/7, China 6).
    • Partner with OEM teams to troubleshoot emissions issues and deliver certification-ready systems.
  • Testing & Validation:
    • Plan and execute engine/vehicle testing (dyno, on-road, environmental) to validate calibration strategies, ensuring alignment with OEM timelines and deliverables.
    • Analyze test data and refine control logic for robustness across diverse OEM applications.
  • OEM Collaboration & System Integration:
    • Work closely with OEM engineering teams to integrate controls for engines, hybrid systems, and aftertreatment hardware.
    • Translate OEM requirements into actionable calibration and validation plans.
  • Regulatory Expertise:
    • Maintain fluency in global emissions/OBD regulations (LEV, WLTP, RDE) and OEM-specific implementation standards.

  • Qualifications and Skills
    • Education: Bachelor's/Master's in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or related field.
    • Experience:
      • 7+ years in controls/calibration engineering, with focus on ICE, hybrid systems, or heavy-duty engines.
      • Hands-on experience working directly with OEMs on calibration, emissions certification, or OBD projects.
      • Track record in emissions compliance (EPA, Euro, China 6) and OBD-II/III development for OEM applications.
    • Technical Skills:
      • Proficiency with OEM-standard tools (ETAS INCA, Vector CANape, ATI Vision) and protocols (CAN/LIN, UDS).
      • Experience with MATLAB/Simulink for model-based calibration and rapid prototyping.
      • Strong knowledge of OEM calibration processes, combustion dynamics, and aftertreatment systems (SCR, DPF).
    • Soft Skills:
      • Ability to navigate OEM project workflows, deadlines, and technical documentation standards.
      • Collaborative mindset with experience presenting technical updates to OEM stakeholders.

    Why Join Us?
    • Strategic Partnerships: Work directly with leading OEMs to shape next-generation propulsion technologies.
    • Certification Impact: Play a pivotal role in delivering OEM-compliant systems for global markets.
