Dallas/Fort Worth Area

- Worked in the radar group as a Customer Quality Engineer- Communicated directly with Texas Instruments customers to handle returns and to provide documentation and feedback on the issue. Worked with design and process engineers to implement corrective measures regarding the customer return to ensure superior quality.- Used Altium Designer to create hardware for Fast Transient Characterization testing on new products in developments.

Dearborn, Michigan

- Automated a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) using Step7 software to read analog inputs of various sensors and display the data on HMIs (Human Machine Interfaces). Directed outside contractors on predictive maintenance of electric motors and pumps throughout the mill.

Dearborn, Michigan

Powertrain Controls Engineer- Worked with senior engineers to design shunt circuitry for ion sensors in order to detect knock and misfire events within a four cylinder combustion engine. Collected and processed data using ATI VISION, AVL IndiCom and MATLAB software.- Spearheaded a project using an oxygen sensor to determine methanol concentration in washer fluid and inject it into the engine to boost octane as well as 0-60 performance in “wide open throttle” acceleration conditions. Research led to the filing of a patent with Ford Motor Company.- Designed and built the virtual world for a computer generated driving simulator using Presagis Creator in the VIRTTEX (VIRtual Test Track EXperiment) laboratory.
