The Hybrid Electric Vehicle Calibration Engineer is responsible for leading calibration development of an assigned function items in the Electric Vehicle Control Unit (EVCU) from first dyno, into early mule vehicle to production on the next generation of xHEV Propulsion Systems. The scope of responsibility spans the application and optimization of control systems into production for xHEV Propulsion Systems. The calibrator will document and justify all EVCU calibration changes through rigorous development and test plans. The calibrator will present and justify changes to lead calibrator and Sr. management as appropriate.
The calibrator will participate or lead the Center of Excellence team for their functional areas. They will review any new calibrations in their area, work with other calibrators and controls engineers to ensure initial values for new calibrations are correct by reviewing software change requests in the new release (performed at each new SW release). They will coordinate calibration merges with other functional leads. They have production release responsibility for the EVCU SW and Calibrations.
They will support dyno commissioning and first-run activities. They will work closely with EVCU controls team to ensure features are working sufficiently and efficiently. They will provide training to all new calibration engineers and/or anyone else needing training on the operation of ePT vehicles and controls. They will support trips and report activities for Sr. Management. They will work with the CoE teams to ensure best practices are followed. They will be the lead contact point for system issues in their functional area.
This individual will have also demonstrated the ability to work will with others. They must be a team player, supporting and promoting team accomplishments versus personal achievement.

Mid Level Vehicle Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level vehicle engineer job?
Position yourself around ownership, not just contribution. Highlight projects where you led the design, testing, or validation cycle from start to finish, made technical trade-off decisions, and delivered measurable results. Tailor your resume to show depth in a specific discipline, whether that is powertrain, chassis, NVH, or systems integration, and demonstrate that you can operate with limited day-to-day oversight.
Which companies hire mid level vehicle engineers?
Companies hiring mid level vehicle engineers right now include PlusAI, Exponent, and Carbon Autonomous Robotic Systems, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a mix of OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and engineering services firms that need engineers who can own work streams without heavy supervision.
Are there remote mid level vehicle engineer jobs?
Yes, though most vehicle engineering roles require at least some on-site access to hardware, test equipment, or manufacturing facilities. About 21% of mid level vehicle engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, concentrated in software-defined vehicle, simulation, and systems engineering functions where the core work can be done off-site.
How do I move up to a mid level vehicle engineer role?
Progression from entry level to mid level comes from accumulating genuine project ownership over your first few years. Build depth in one technical domain, take on responsibilities beyond your assigned tasks, document measurable outcomes like weight savings, cost reductions, or cycle time improvements, and seek out cross-functional exposure. Engineers who can point to specific decisions they owned, not just tasks they completed, make the strongest case for a mid level title.
Which industries hire the most mid level vehicle engineers?
Mid Level vehicle engineer roles concentrate in Automotive, Technology & Software, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive the most hiring at this level because they are actively developing next-generation platforms, from electric powertrains to advanced driver assistance systems, and need engineers with enough experience to contribute independently from day one.
