Verifying compliance of delivered calibrations with carry-over rules
Ensuring correct integration of calibrations in freezes
Performing and analyzing freezing validation tests
Generating and releasing reports
Conducting and analyzing tests for calibration/validation of Driveability and Engine-Gearbox Intersystem functions (e.g., powertrain characterization, idle speed PIV, anti-lock)
Preparing and disseminating reports
Filing acquisition data and storing analysis results in a database
Analyzing issues encountered during development
Proposing precautionary solutions and developing sustainable ones
Updating repositories and carry-over policy
Specifying and coding solutions for automatic validation test processing or from data lakes
Calibrating idle speed (rpm, regulation) and component protection strategies
BVM/BVMP/BVA calibration (smoke mapping, anti-droop, idle robustness)
Validating systems, including engine-side anti-stall pre-calibration, close control, and PWT adaptation calibration
Calibrating and validating component protection functions
Following functional and inter-system validation tests and supplier development activities
Writing test reports and providing feedback at each phase
Calibrating BVA gear changes (e.g., stable foot, throttle release, pedal depression, Lock-up states in Drive and CMI)
Calibrating torque blending, gearbox self-adaptive devices, torque bypass, anti-overspeed, temperature patches, drag reduction, turbine torque recovery function, and calibration safety
Validating engine/PWT behavior during gear shifts, PWT in Lock-up phases, intra-PWT exchanges, and engine software at each project phase
Mastering calibration of learning (e.g., transmissibility, kisspoint, clutch actuator) and thermal models (clutch, hydraulics)
Calibrating take-off, clutch opening/closing (with and without gearshift), hypershift mode, automatic switch thresholds, warmup, and dynamic corrections
Verifying engine torque accuracy and drivability objectives, including ADAS interactions
Calibrating engine mapping (pedal mappings), BVMP/BVA gear changes, shift laws, and anti-stalls
Optimizing BVM/BVMP/BVA take-off, transient calibration in fixed gear, and shift patterns (Normal, ECO, Sport, CC, ACC modes)
Calibrating emissions standards, ECO mode, city legal standards, slope, thermal protection, snow/winter driving, ESP, Manual/Automatic modes, lock-up/slip control, neutral control, dynamic functions (cornering, fast off), torque converter scheduling, and hot/altitude corrections
Managing acoustic/consumption/brio compromises and system/inter-system calibration
Calibrating easy move (torque management, learning conditions) and CAN dialog
Downloading software and calibrations, imposing operating modes, and conducting functional validation
Approving gear ratio changes and gearbox brio
Participating in approval test commissions and organizing test committees
Assessing engine approval and brio
