Fuel Economy Engineer information

What is the difference between Fuel Economy Engineer vs Powertrain Engineer?

AspectFuel Economy EngineerPowertrain Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Mechanical, Automotive, or Electrical Engineering; knowledge of fuel efficiency standardsBachelor's in Mechanical, Automotive, or Electrical Engineering; focus on engine and transmission systems
Work EnvironmentAutomotive R&D labs, manufacturing plants, testing facilitiesEngine design, testing labs, vehicle integration environments
Industry UsageAutomotive manufacturers, research institutionsAutomotive manufacturers, engine suppliers

Fuel Economy Engineers focus on optimizing vehicle efficiency and reducing fuel consumption, while Powertrain Engineers design and improve engine and transmission systems. Both roles require similar technical backgrounds and often collaborate, but their primary goals differ: fuel economy versus powertrain performance.

Job description

  • D&E Drivability & Emissions Calibration Engineer
    The Calibration Engineer is responsible for developing the optimal engine calibration to meet drivability metrics along with ensuring optimal emissions and fuel economy. The engineer is responsible for the calibration maturity and development of sub features resulting in an overall optimal propulsion system. This spans the entirety of the lifecycle of development through conceptual phase, strategy development, calibration execution to subsystem and vehicle level validation including robustness evaluations. The responsibilities will be carried out across all different types of propulsion system concepts and will include varying levels of electrification. The work will coincide with a team of calibration engineers and functions to deliver system level functional objectives mainly related to emissions compliance.
    The engineer will plan and coordinate daily activities of propulsion dynos and vehicle related testing which may include collaboration with technicians and laboratory support engineers. In addition, test plans and timelines will be developed and executed with reports generated to communicate status of the program to larger development and management teams.
  • Requirements:
    Basic Requirements
    • Obtained a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Engineering from an ABET accredited University
    • Demonstrated 3 or more years of work experience in the area of spark ignition engine controls and calibration
    • Strong familiarities related to engine system development including related technologies and subsystems such as combustion, valvetrain, fuel system, boost systems, EGR systems, aftertreatment systems, controls and its algorithm including diagnostics
    • Feature calibration experience with exposure to optimizing drivability, emissions, and fuel economy
    • Experience in launching applications meeting US based ACC/ACCII standards and regulations as well as ROW markets including (Enlarged Europe, APAC, LATAM)
    • Data acquisition experience collecting and processing data providing meaningful summaries and next steps
    • Good teamwork skills and ability to work independently
    • Effective communication skills and able to create and present information in a clear and concise manner to colleagues and management
      • Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and ETAS/INCA

    Preferred Qualifications
    • Master's degree in Engineering from an ABET accredited University
    • 5 years of experience is preferred.
    • DFSS green belt or higher
    • Execution of Problem-solving techniques (RedX, Six Sigma, 3L5W, Kaizen, 5S)
