About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the technical understanding, execution, and continuous improvement of processor, microcontroller, and memory-related infrastructure calibrations
Build strong working knowledge across MCU0, MCU1, MCU2, and MCU3 and develop guidance that drives consistency in how microcontroller calibrations are applied and managed
Perform deep dives into calibration guides, requirements, design intent, and technical documentation to understand what calibrations do, why they exist, and where they apply
Analyze calibration behavior, dependencies, constraints, anomalies, and program applicability across vehicle, bench, and CoSim environments
Learn the HWIO layer and related low-level software behavior to understand how processor and microcontroller systems must be tuned to support correct operation, performance, and stability
Review calibration and validation test data, interpret technical results, and recommend sound calibration adjustments when needed
Work through calibration decisions with safety and cross-functional stakeholders, balancing technical intent, system requirements, constraints, and program needs
Break complex calibration behavior into understandable functional components, identify root causes, and support anomaly correction when issues are discovered
Serve as the single source of truth for micro calibrations, including calibration purpose, parameter usage, known issues, program differences, and operating guidance
Use AI tools, scripting, structured analysis, and automation to determine how calibrations operate, uncover patterns and relationships, and accelerate technical work
Create tools, workflows, and automations that support calibrators, improve repeatability, and reduce manual effort across the micro calibration domain
Challenge unnecessary complexity by asking why parameters exist in the first place and identifying opportunities to eliminate, simplify, standardize, or automate calibrations where appropriate
Help establish stronger best practices, clearer guidance, and more scalable operating methods across the processor, microcontroller, and memory calibration space

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Controls, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field
5+ years of experience in calibration, embedded software, infrastructure software, diagnostics, microcontroller systems, or related automotive technical work
Strong technical curiosity and ability to learn complex processor, microcontroller, memory, and infrastructure calibration behavior in depth
Experience interpreting technical requirements, design documentation, calibration guides, or system behavior to determine correct application of calibration content
Familiarity with embedded systems, low-level software interactions, diagnostics, and microcontroller-based architectures
Ability to analyze complex technical systems, compare variants and behaviors, and identify patterns, deltas, dependencies, and root causes
Experience reviewing validation or test data and using sound engineering judgment to support technical adjustments and issue resolution
Strong attention to detail and ability to manage technical complexity without losing clarity or discipline
Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across calibration, software, safety, validation, and stakeholder teams
Ability to work independently, build subject matter expertise, and drive execution in a fast-paced environment.
