Vehicle Propulsion Systems Engineer - PD Academy

The PD Academy program is a structured development program combining role-specific training with an applied engineering project. Join Vehicle Propulsion Systems Engineering (VPSE), in this developing-professional role, you will use data engineering, analytics, and foundational data science to help VPSE teams make better-informed decisions related to fuel economy, emissions, performance, drivability, diagnostics, and calibration quality, while emphasizes secure, reliable data solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, and Tekton-based delivery pipelines.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field.
• Experience or demonstrated ability in data processing, analysis, and visualization; relevant early-career experience is welcome.
• Programming ability in Python and working knowledge of SQL, ETL/ELT, data modeling, and data warehousing.
• Familiarity with Git, version control, and collaborative code review.
• Exposure to cloud platforms or analytics tools; GCP experience is an advantage. Experience with Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, Tekton, BigQuery, or Pub/Sub is particularly relevant.
• Awareness of IAM, least-privilege access, secrets handling, monitoring, CI/CD, and secure development practices.
• Automotive or powertrain data experience is an advantage, not a requirement.
• Strong communication, structured problem-solving, learning agility, and ability to work across functions.
