**Job Title:** Engine Drivability Specialist (M/W/D)
**Role Summary:**
Conduct on‑track and on‑road drivability assessments for internal combustion, hybrid, and electric powertrains. Develop and refine ECU calibration strategies to optimize throttle response, torque delivery, low‑RPM behavior, and gearshift quality. Provide data‑driven insights to enhance fuel efficiency, emissions, and NVH performance, producing technical reports and competitive benchmarks.
**Expectations:**
- Demonstrate 5–8 years of hands‑on experience in engine calibration or drivability testing.
- Deliver measurable improvements in drivability metrics and support vehicle development milestones.
- Collaborate closely with cross‑functional engineering, powertrain, and quality teams to meet project timelines.
**Key Responsibilities:**
1. Evaluate drivability characteristics on test tracks and road environments.
2. Analyze and interpret data using INCA, CANalyzer, ETAS tools, and other calibration equipment.
3. Design and implement torque maps, ignition timing, injection strategy, and boost control calibration.
4. Define and verify drivability targets for ICE, hybrid, and electric vehicles.
5. Prepare detailed technical reports, datasets, and competitive vehicle benchmarks.
6. Support fuel‑efficiency, emission, and NVH improvement initiatives through data‑driven recommendations.
**Required Skills:**
- Proficiency in ECU calibration and tuning tools (INCA, CANalyzer, ETAS).
- Strong analytical skills with ability to correlate quantitative data to driver perception.
- In‑depth knowledge of internal combustion, hybrid, and electric powertrains.
- Experience in drivability testing methodologies (throttle response, torque progression, gearshift quality, low‑RPM behavior).
- Excellent written and verbal communication in English; additional languages a plus.
**Required Education & Certifications:**
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent.
- Relevant certifications in ECU calibration or automotive testing (e.g., ETAS, Bosch, Bosch-ETSA).
- 5–8 years of practical experience in engine calibration or drivability testing.
