The Technical Lead - Vehicle Communications Calibration serves as the technical owner and coordination point for serial-data communications and diagnostics calibration across propulsion control systems. You will translate vehicle intent into repeatable practices, guide engineers, and improve tools, workflows, and documentation to support high-quality product releases. Daily responsibilities include providing direction for communication and diagnostics execution, analyzing calibration behavior to identify root causes, and managing the Feature-to-Frame configuration documentation. You will work with current electrical architectures and next-generation software-defined vehicle systems while collaborating with safety, validation, and program teams. Required skills include a degree in an engineering discipline and expertise in Controller Area Network and Local Interconnect Network communications. The role requires proficiency in interpreting source code, technical requirements, and data to resolve anomalies within engine, transmission, and powertrain control modules across various hardware platforms.
Serve as the primary technical contact for serial-data calibration across engine, transmission, and powertrain control modules.
Provide technical direction for communication and diagnostics calibration execution and configuration accuracy.
Analyze calibration behavior and test results to identify root causes and resolve product issues.
Review software source code, requirements, and technical documentation to ensure alignment with design intent.
Create and improve tools, workflows, and training to increase repeatability and reduce manual effort.
Maintain authoritative Feature-to-Frame configuration documentation and support the migration of Master Calibration Tools.
Lead serial-data technical reviews and facilitate communities of practice for communication-focused engineering teams.
Define standard work for new technologies and drive complex corrective actions to closure.
What we're looking for
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, Chemical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
5 or more years of experience in propulsion-system calibration, controls, vehicle communications, diagnostics calibration, or a related technical field.
Strong understanding of calibration execution, strategy, and controls-system functionality.
Working knowledge of vehicle network communications, including Controller Area Network (CAN) and Local Interconnect Network (LIN).
Experience analyzing empirical data, calibration behavior, validation results, or vehicle test data to identify root causes.
Ability to interpret technical requirements, software source code, design intent, and system documentation.
Demonstrated ability to lead technical discussions, develop action plans, and drive cross-functional issues to closure.
Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Engineering (preferred); 8 or more years of experience in propulsion calibration, controls, serial-data communications, or diagnostics (preferred).
