Calibration Engineer

Provide ride development engineering support of passive, passive plus, semi-active & advanced electronic ride control products for original equipment (OE) business groups. Scope will include passive damping and electrical controls system tuning to achieve customer ride, handling, & steering objectives.

Passive shock absorbers (dampers)
Semi-active suspension systems
Electronic damping algorithms
Ride comfort
Handling
Steering feel
Suspension control

Major Duties and Responsibilities:

• Develop an understanding of hydraulic damper passive valve systems (past, present & future.)
• Become an expert in understanding & tuning of all Passive & Passive Plus technologies.
• Become an expert in understanding & tuning of all Monroe Intelligent Suspension (MIS) technologies & calibrations tools.
• Work closely with our OE customers in the development of damper valving and electronics calibration for ride & steering control products.
• Work closely with our OE customers to fully evaluate and develop vehicle dynamics systems.
• Work with Valving & Systems Development teams to trouble shoot any vehicle performance issues related to the passive damper valves, software algorithm, controls system, or suspension system.
• Communicate customer requirements, issues and concerns to the Engineering & Business Units.
• Provide input for future ride control enhancements to improve Tenneco's competitive position.
• Support modeling and simulation of electrical dampening systems including but not limited to driver maneuver / road input definition and damper / vehicle response evaluation / correlation
• Assist the advanced development / design groups with future product definition and development.
• Contribute to Systems Engineering projects to develop new and/or improved processes.
• Participate in the creation and review of concept, design, and process FMEAs, DVP&Rs, 8Ds, DFSS, etc.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelors of Science in Electrical, Mechanical or Mechatronics engineering. A Master's degree in Engineering is a plus.
• Strong English communication skills (verbal & written)
• Disciplined problem solving skills
