Powertrain Controls Engineer

Job Title: Powertrain Controls Engineer Location: Seattle, Washington Duration: Long Term Job description: We are seeking a highly motivated Powertrain Controls Engineer to join our engineering team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing and tuning powertrain control functions, with a focus on drivability, efficiency, and system integration. This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to advanced automotive technologies in a dynamic and collaborative environment. Key Responsibilities Develop and tune control strategies for acceleration and transient response , including gear shifts, transitions, coasting, and engine braking. Optimize low-speed drivability and maneuverability (light pedal response, grade performance, load sensitivity). Support cold start calibration across different fuel blends and altitude conditions. Implement and refine cruise control and altitude performance strategies (drivability, low speed, acceleration, deceleration). Conduct launch (idle governor) tuning for rear axle ratio ranges and transmission variants, collaborating with suppliers. Calibrate extended idle performance (desorb and soot management). Develop PTO gain tuning strategies for customer-specific applications. Apply torque limiting controls with brake application and powertrain component limits (gear, axle shaft, etc.). Support system integration , including CAN communication and subsystem diagnostic communication. Qualifications & Skills Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field . Hands-on experience with powertrain control systems and calibration . Strong understanding of engine, transmission, drivability, and vehicle dynamics . Proficiency in CAN communication tools, diagnostic communication, and calibration software . Excellent problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills.
