Position Description:
• Responsible for overall vehicle thermal system sign-off including Wind Tunnel Testing and Road Development o Work with the propulsion (ICE/xEV) teams to develop key parameters of calibration as it relates to Climate Control o Work with Dual Automatic Temperature Control team on calibration development o Work with hardware teams to ensure components and sub-systems meets requirements to deliver expected climate performance • Analyze test data to ensure vehicle is exhibiting expected behavior and passing all requirements • Troubleshoot any short falls in performance and propose solutions • Document/incorporate lessons learned • Understand and apply Thermal/Cabin System CAE tools (i.e. A/C, Heater, and battery thermal simulations) • Coordinate Vehicle testing to support Program Timing Milestones o Plan and Execute Vehicle Wind Tunnel testing and Supplier data analysis o Plan and Execute Vehicle Road Trip testing • Ensure all the climate control comfort strategies are implemented in programs as applicable
Skills Required:
Data Analysis, Test Planning, Data Acquisition 1. Data Analysis – Ability to read/interpret data via data acquisition tools such as ATI, INCA, CANape, or Excel 2. Test Planning – Ability to plan tests around program milestones and vehicle/wind tunnel availability 3. Data Acquisition – Familiarity with data acquisition tools (ATI, INCA, CANape, Excel, etc.)
Skills Preferred:
Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering 1. Mechanical Engineering – understanding of vehicle climate control system 2. Electrical Engineering – understanding of vehicle climate control system 3. Essentially, we often hire either mechanical or electrical engineers as the role requires an understanding of the climate control system which utilizes both mechanical and electrical systems.
Experience Required:
• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or Computer Engineering • 1+ years of experience in hands on vehicle level attribute development or vehicle testing • Clear understanding of entire Climate Control refrigerant and Air Handling systems and how they interact with vehicle subsystems • Must understand interactions with ICE/xEV vehicle systems
Experience Preferred:
• M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Computer Engineering • 3+ years’ experience in automotive climate control including Dual Automatic Temperature Control and heat pump systems • Familiar with powertrain calibration methods and tools • Familiar with software integration test tools (i.e. CANoe, CANalyzer, CANape, ATI) • Familiar with automotive communication standards (i.e. CAN/CAN-FD/Automotive Ethernet) • Knowledge of engineering processes and systems (i.e. TPOTs, GPDS)
Education Required:
Bachelor's Degree
