Engine Calibration Engineer Derbyshire, UK

£40 - 50k + benefits

This role would suit a graduate engineer with at least 1-3 years of relevant industry experience or more.

Candidates should have demonstrable interest and passion for engine systems. Experience of engine performance / emissions simulation and calibration gained within academia (e.g Formula student, etc) would be great.

Key involvements:

* Aligned to engine performance and emissions development (control, calibration, test, integration)

* Control algorithm development and calibration, test and development of engines (Matlab / Simulink)

* Involvement with dynos for testing of engines (performance / emissions)

* Analysis of test data, systems calibration, fault diagnosis and rectification

* ECU (engine controller) integration

Candidates with a background in engine design, development or calibration may be considered. However, candidates should have exposure to powertrain, engine performance and emissions testing (or very similar) using dyno rigs, etc. Alternatively candidate may have a strong background in control software / algorithm development (performance / 1D simulation etc) coupled with practical build, test and experimentation experience.

The company designs and manufactures engines (diesel and hydrogen combustion) for a variety of applications (e.g. off-highway, construction machines, power generation), hence involvement and an active interest in engines / powertrain systems for similar applications would be preferred.

Required experience / knowledge: Engine Calibration Engineer

* 1-3 years of post-academic experience gained within the automotive, aerospace, marine, off-highway, mechanical engineering or similar, closely aligned to engines / powertrain systems.

* A graduate degree in a relevant field (e.g. mechanical engineering, automotive engineering) with content focused towards engine design / development / test

* An apprenticeship, internship or work experience involving engine performance and emissions development (control, calibration, test, integration, aftertreatmet) would be preferred

* Experience of control algorithm development and calibration, test or development of engines (Matlab / Simulink) Also, Ricardo Wave, GT Power, AVL Boost, etc (performance simulation)

* Hands-on experience with dynos for testing of engines (performance / emissions) would be excellent

* Experience of electronics, electrical, software / control systems design for similar products

* Good practical engineering aptitude (e.g. software or hardware integration, hands-on problem solving, development of systems in a lab / workshop)

* Good problem solving and analysis skills

Others (beneficial skills): Engine Calibration Engineer

* Graduate / Formula Student experience (aligned to powertrain / engine design, development or calibration) would be great

* Analysis of test data, systems calibration, fault diagnosis and rectification

* ECU (engine controller) integration, use of Bosch calibration tools, experience with CAN networks and analysis tools (e.g. CANoe, CANalyser)

* Able to develop test and validation requirements

This Engine Calibration Engineer role is based onsite and is commutable from Rocester, Stoke on Trent, Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham, Uttoxeter, Stafford, and Burton
