In this position...
As the Supervisor of the Gasoline Emissions Systems & Development section within Research & Advanced Engineering (R&A), team of systems and calibration engineers responsible for the end-to-end development of next-generation emissions systems. Your team’s mission is to define, design, and demonstrate the capability of gasoline Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Hybrid (HEV), and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) applications to meet the world’s most stringent ultra-low emission targets (SULEV20, SULEV15, and SULEV10). This role sits at the intersection of hardware integration and advanced calibration, requiring a leader who can navigate complex technical trade-offs between emissions, fuel economy, and vehicle drivability while ensuring systems engineering rigor from concept to prototype demonstration.
What you'll do...
System Concept & Integration: Lead the definition, design, and integration of new emissions concepts, including hardware, controls, and packaging across the engine, transmission, generator, and aftertreatment domains.
Advanced Calibration & Capability: Oversee the development and demonstration of system capabilities to deliver emissions targets alongside other vehicle attributes. Lead the team in establishing preferred values for control variables via CAE and physical testing.
Project Leadership: Manage workstreams and project deliverables within the Global Technical Development System (GTDS) framework to ensure research goals are met on schedule.
Attribute Trade-off Management: Direct sensitivity studies and trade-offs between competing attributes such as fuel economy, performance, and driveability using Design of Experiments (DOE) methods and hybrid operating strategies.
Systems Engineering & Quality: Ensure the development of high-quality systems engineering documentation, including Boundary Diagrams, P-Diagrams, and Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA).
Testing & Validation: Supervise development testing across various platforms, including engine, powertrain, and hub dynamometers, as well as vehicle and virtual (analytical) simulations.
Prototype Commissioning: Lead the team in the hands-on commissioning of prototype systems on dynamometers and in development vehicles, including troubleshooting complex mechanical, electrical, and CAN communication issues.
