Powertrain Controls Engineer
Powertrain Controls Engineers are responsible for designing, developing, and testing the control systems that manage the powertrain of a vehicle, including the engine, transmission, and other systems necessary to get the vehicle moving from the transmission of power to the wheels.
What Powertrain Controls Engineers Do
While modern vehicles use complex computer and electronic systems to control everything from audio and climate to safety and stability, Powertrain Controls Engineers primarily focus on the systems responsible for the engine and the transfer of power to the wheels.
Powertrain Controls Engineers are responsible for designing, developing, and testing the powertrain to meet specific performance, efficiency, and emissions standards.
