  • PTO gain tuning for customer applications
  • Torque limiting with brake application and powertrain component limits (max torque per gear, axle shaft, etc.)
  • System integration including CAN communication and subsystem diagnostic communication


Candidate Checkpoints:

  • Strong engine calibration experience
  • Hands-on vehicle testing and tuning background
  • Deep understanding of engine–transmission–driveline interaction
  • CAN/J1939 and system integration knowledge
