• Analyse and interpret powertrain data to identify and resolve system-level issues.
• Act as a key liaison between cross-functional teams, ensuring smooth communication and technical alignment.
• Understand and validate OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) strategies, ensuring compliance and functionality.
• Execute and analyse OBD tests, and produce documentation for legal and regulatory purposes.
• Drive validation of customer requirements using targeted testing methods.
• Develop and implement action plans to meet project milestones, motivating teams to deliver results.
• Conduct test driving for OBD data acquisition and calibration refinement.
• Support calibration development and validation of various engine and hybrid system components.
• Create and optimise tools to support calibration workflows.
• Participate in test trips and validation loops, both locally and internationally.
• Gain additional technical expertise through our structured training and development programme, designed to support your professional growth and broaden your calibration knowledge.
• Expertise in aftertreatment calibration and emissions compliance strategies.
• Advanced thermal management calibration techniques for conventional and hybrid powertrains.
• Development, validation, and optimisation of OBD calibration strategies to meet legislative requirements.
