  E), ensuring full traceability and compliance with ISO 17025 and ISO/TS quality standards.
• Develop, document, and optimize calibration procedures using national, international, industrial, and military standards, including automated calibration systems.
• Manage the M&T E program: maintain inventory, generate calibration due reports, track out‑of‑tolerance conditions, and ensure data accuracy and documentation integrity.
• Support emissions laboratory operations including operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of emissions analyzers, FTIRs, smoke meters, mass spectrometers, and associated instrumentation.
• Perform advanced troubleshooting of electrical systems, analog/digital I/O, control signals, and engine test cell interfaces.
• Support engine and powertrain dynamometer testing, including AC motoring, eddy current, and water brake dynamometer systems.
• Lead automation and data acquisition initiatives using National Instruments LabVIEW, FEV Morphee, A&D I-Test, and Gage Trak calibration management software.
• Generate, analyze, and present monthly emissions and calibration data quality reports to engineering and leadership teams.
• Maintain an organized, clean, and safe work environment aligned with HSE, 5S, and corporate safety policies.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to support new product development, process optimization, measurement uncertainty analysis, and laboratory capability expansion.
• Collaborate quality, operations, and external partners to maintain world‑class testing capabilities, support new product development, and drive continuous improvement.

The ideal candidate will have/be:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, MET, EET, or related technical discipline preferred.
• Requires hands‑on experience with diesel engine systems, diagnostics, and operational maintenance.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to diagnose complex mechanical, electrical, or instrumentation issues.
• Hands‑on experience with emissions analyzers, test cell instrumentation, calibration procedures, and measurement systems.
• Proficiency with LabVIEW, FEV Morphee, A&D I-Test, and Gage Trak required.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office tools (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook) and Windows‑based engineering software.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross‑functional teams.
