Dana is a global leader in the supply of highly engineered driveline, sealing, and thermal-management technologies that improve the efficiency and performance of vehicles with both conventional and alternative-energy powertrains. Serving three primary markets – passenger vehicle, commercial truck, and off-highway equipment – Dana provides the world's original-equipment manufacturers and the aftermarket with local product and service support through a network of nearly 100 engineering, manufacturing, and distribution facilities.

PURPOSE:

You will be calibrating different electrified powertrain systems for torque control, torque management, shift timing, shift quality, and acceleration management. Your tasks will include but not limited to understanding internal and customer request/requirements for performance, driver comfortability, diagnostics, safety, and calibrate the specific system to meet these requirements. Design and conduct test cases for assessment of calibration in different environments such as Dyno, HIL, or in vehicle. Your workplace will be very dynamic and fast-paced. You can expect to learn everything about the architecture of electric vehicles and experience first-hand the integration and start-up of the systems.

PRIMARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Participate in development and validation of electrified powertrain controls for commercial vehicle EV applications and different architectures.


• Provide Technical analysis in a project team environment.


• Create Test cases and work with other engineers to execute test case for performance of powertrain system in different environment such as Dyno, HIL, vehicle


• Support internal/customer request to analyze data from driving events for performance, issues, etc.


• Create calibration documentation for reference to customers and engineers.


• Travel to perform hot climate and cold climate development to meet customer requirements.


• Flexibility in work location required.  Local activities will require working at Dana sites in Muamee, OH and Novi, MI.
