In this position…

Engine mapping is the foundation of engine calibration and feeds the PT Dyno and Commodity Calibration processes.  The role of a mapping engineer is to develop the calibration values required for fundamental engine operation. This includes characterization or modeling of engine attributes and optimization of engine actuator setpoints.  A mapping engineer is responsible for collecting and analyzing data run on an engine-only dynamometer under steady state conditions and developing calibrations from this empirical data.  This includes:

Camshaft schedule optimization Aircharge/Inferred MAP calibration Torque model calibration Torque ratio MBT spark Indicated and friction torque models         Optimized DI fuel parameter settings EGR flow model calibration and EGR schedule optimization Aircharge, Torque and Spark modifiers    Flex Fuel calibrations DFSO exit MBT offset calibration

You'll have…

BS in mechanical/automotive/electrical/aerospace engineering or an equivalent degree
    
Even better, you may have...

Working knowledge of SI engines. 

2+ years of experience in engine design, engine, testing, calibration, and engineering. 

Previous powertrain calibration and/or control strategy experience. 

Familiarity with engine development testing and instrumentation. 

Data analysis experience and proficiency with tools such as Matlab, Excel and Concerto
