Developed LS-Dyna Steering column models for internal and customer useDocumented Steering Column modeling techniquesCorrelated LS-Dyna simulations to physical testingCollaborated with Engineers to solve problems

• Developed a custom application to calculate, model, and store intermediate shaft geometry to ensure performance meets customer expectations. The application automatically generates validation lab setup sheets and integrates with CAD software to automate positioning of the intermediate shaft in different steering column positions for customer part validation and vehicle packaging analysis. The application was awarded a trade secret and has been implemented globally at Nexteer.• Engineered and implemented prototype parts into vehicles for development of Steer by Wire technology• Collaborate with external suppliers to develop a solution for preventing corrosion on intermediate shafts in environmental temperatures up to 190° C• Work with customers to understand technical requirements and communicate information effectively to ensure their needs are met• Collaborate with cross functional teams on projects with aggressive timelines
