BoschGroup Diesel Fuel Systems Calibration Engineer supports development, calibration, and validation of diesel fuel-system control functions. This entry-level role involves using engine and chassis dynamometers, test vehicles, and data-acquisition tools to optimize fuel-system parameters.

Responsibilities

Develop, optimize, and validate diesel fuel-system control parameters to meet engineering targets for emissions, fuel consumption, performance, drivability, diagnostics, and robustness.
Perform calibration and validation using engine and chassis dynamometers, test vehicles, test tracks, and open-road testing.
Calibrate and evaluate fuel-system functions including rail-pressure control, injection quantity, injection timing, multiple-injection strategies, and diagnostic functions.
Analyze interactions between ECU software and controls, calibration parameters, sensors, actuators, fuel-system components, and engine behavior.
Plan and execute calibration tests, analyze measurement data, evaluate results against engineering targets, and recommend calibration changes.
Utilize and support the development of advanced calibration and data-acquisition tools to support data analysis, model-based calibration, optimization, and automation.
Perform system-level troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of fuel-system, controls, calibration, and vehicle performance issues.
Evaluate and present engine, powertrain, and vehicle test results and communicate technical conclusions to engineering teams and customers.
Collaborate with controls, systems, software, hardware, and test engineers to resolve technical issues and achieve project targets.
Participate in local and international calibration networks to exchange technical knowledge and stay current with control-system and calibration developments.
Support vehicle validation programs, including winter, summer, and altitude testing, with travel of up to 12 weeks per year.
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Mechatronics, or a closely related engineering discipline.
