Calibration & Diagnostics Engineering

Calibration & diagnostics engineering, built for OEM and R&D teams

Vehicle Lab builds local-first software for powertrain calibration, ECU diagnostics and vehicle-data analysis — and partners with OEM, Tier-1 and R&D centers on the hard, hands-on work behind it. If it touches calibration, diagnostics or vehicle data, we can build the tooling and the agents around it.

Why we exist

Founded in 2024, Vehicle Lab started from a simple observation on the bench: vehicles kept getting smarter and more complex, while the tools used to calibrate and diagnose them stayed rooted in legacy, license-locked, manual workflows.

We build software to take the repetitive, high-skill grunt work off the engineer's plate — to reduce human work, not replace human judgment — and we work alongside calibration and diagnostics teams to do it.

Calibration

Base, drivability, emission & powertrain calibration on the bench and in-vehicle.

Diagnostics

UDS / ODX, OBD monitors, DTC/DFC and CAN/LIN bus validation.

Homologation

WLTP, RDE, IUPR and ARAI/AIS compliance workflows & reporting.

Data & Analytics

MF4/MDF signal analysis, empirical maps, dashboards & benchmarking.

How we help OEM & R&D centers

Engineering help, beyond the products

We partner with OEM, Tier-1 and R&D teams on hands-on calibration and diagnostics work — and on the custom scripts and AI agents that automate the analysis your team does by hand today.

Powertrain Calibration

Base calibration, torque & drivability, cold start, AFR/lambda, transient compensation, speed limiter, fuel cut-off and gear-hunt strategies — validated at ECU signal level.

base & drivability map analysis scripts OBD-II / IUPR

Diagnostics & Validation

UDS/ODX architectures, DTC/DFC definitions, OBD monitor validation, and CAN/LIN bus analysis with CANoe, CANalyzer and Vehicle Spy.

misfire detection freeze-frame correlation ODX authoring

Fleet & Dyno Data Analytics

Large-scale MF4/MDF/CSV time-series processing, signal analysis, and empirical map generation (RPM–Torque, BSFC) with interactive, high-fidelity plotting.

batch pipelines RBF / spline maps dashboards

Homologation & Compliance

WLTP, RDE, IUPR, NEDC and ARAI/AIS workflows — with automated compliance validation that accelerates the emissions and fuel-consumption reporting lifecycle.

WLTP / RDE range & energy calc auto-reporting

Vehicle Benchmarking

Competitor and in-house benchmarking from bench & in-vehicle test data — turning raw acquisition into clean KPIs, comparisons, and decision-ready reports.

KPI extraction DBC creation comparison reports

Custom Scripts & Automation

The repetitive analysis your engineers do by hand, turned into tools — Python/Flask/DuckDB pipelines and ML (FFT, CSVA, Isolation Forest) over your vehicle data.

Custom AI Agents

Domain-specific agents for your calibration & diagnostics work

We develop and train custom AI agents around your data and your DFCs — for emission, base calibration, drivability and OBD analysis. They read your MF4/MDF logs and technical docs, flag anomalies, and explain findings in plain language. Private and on-prem, with multi-LLM routing and per-OEM RAG isolation — your data never leaves your environment.

Where we plug in

From the bench to a tool your team keeps

01

Calibrate & diagnose

Hands-on calibration and diagnostics on your bench, dyno or fleet — with your standards and toolchain.

02

Analyze the data

Turn raw MF4/MDF acquisition into signals, empirical maps, KPIs and anomaly reports your team can act on.

03

Ship the tooling

Hand the repetitive work to custom scripts and AI agents — local-first, no license server, yours to keep.

Engineering DNA & standards

Built from the bench up, on open standards

Vehicle Lab is built by engineers who have lived inside powertrain calibration, ECU diagnostics and fleet data — founded and led by automotive software engineer Chayan Das, with experience across powertrain calibration, diagnostics and large-scale data analysis. We don't just write software; we build precision instruments, from model-based calibration and AI diagnostics to MDF4 signal analysis.

Everything we build — HELIX for calibration data management and XHandbook for EHANDBOOK-compatible ECU documentation — speaks the formats your team already uses: ASAM (MDF/A2L/ODX), ISO 14229 (UDS), XCP/CCP and AUTOSAR. Local-first and license-server-free, so your calibration data stays in your environment.
