• Develop Body Controls Configuration/Performance Calibrations for deployment to GM Vehicle Programs
• Investigate and research calibration settings based on CALBOM notes.
• Help train new calibration engineers on calibration processes.
• Support requirements development with other activities to determine part proliferation.
• Support Calibration Reviews with other Calibration Engineers, Software Strategists, and Calibration Technical Specialists.
• Author Engineering Change Requests (ECR).
• Upload calibration bundle(s) for push to VeSCoM.
• Support root cause analysis.
• Lead troubleshooting activities for complex system issues across programs
• Identify and document calibration vulnerabilities and build mitigation action plans; track corrective actions.
• Attend software VSE meetings and report back required timing.
• Keep abreast of industry trends, technologies, and best practices.
