Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly motivated entry-level Diagnostic Tuner with a foundational understanding of internal combustion (IC) engine subsystems and a strong interest in automotive diagnostics. In this role, you will support the calibration and validation of diagnostic functions related to engine control units (ECUs), assist in ensuring compliance with On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) standards, and contribute to engine testing and development activities. Basic knowledge of MATLAB/Simulink and academic or project-based exposure to engine systems and diagnostics are expected. This is an excellent opportunity for recent graduates to begin a career in powertrain diagnostics and calibration.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and calibrate diagnostic strategies for IC engine subsystems (air path, fuel system, exhaust, combustion, etc.).
• Perform root cause analysis and refine diagnostic monitors based on test data and failure analysis.
• Support engine testing in dyno and vehicle environments, including setup, execution, and data analysis.
• Ensure diagnostic readiness and compliance with global OBD regulations (OBD-II, EOBD, BS-VI, etc.).
• Use MATLAB/Simulink for algorithm understanding, data analysis, and basic model-based development tasks.
• Collaborate with calibration engineers, controls developers, and test engineers to optimize diagnostic performance.
• Maintain documentation and participate in design reviews and issue resolution processes.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelors or masters degree in engineering, Electronics, Electrical, Automotive Engineering, or related field.
• Strong understanding of IC engine components and subsystems (air handling, fuel injection, exhaust, sensors, actuators, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with engine or vehicle testing, preferably in a diagnostic or calibration role.
• Good understanding of OBD system design, fault detection logic, and regulatory requirements.
• Basic proficiency in MATLAB and Simulink for data processing and model understanding.
• Familiarity with ECU calibration tools such as INCA, ETAS, CANape, or similar.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with model-based development or software-in-the-loop (SIL/HIL) testing.
• Knowledge of CAN communication, UDS protocols, and diagnostic trouble code (DTC) architecture.
• Exposure to emission regulations and compliance testing procedures.
• Understanding of vehicle networking and data logging tools.
