Waukesha Wi

-Design & develop electro-mechanical fuel system components for industrial NG/LPG and gasoline engines.-Used Motohawk/Mototune (& New Eagle Raptor-Cal) software to validate basic control strategies on development engine control modules-Created a engine control strategy for isochronous gensets powered by gaseous-fueled 4-cylinder engine, using Mathworks Simulink and DSpace Targetlink. Published summary of engine controls under ASME paper ICEF2020-21185.-Assembled and programmed (Labview RT) engine simulator with National Instruments cRIO (FPGA mode) hardware for HIL testing.-Conduct DFEMA and execute DVP&R of electronic engine control and EFI components.-Guided co-workers in subsidiary to write code for engine control of large >150 kW gensets where engine controller would communicate to external modules via SAE J1939 communication protocol (Vector CAN db++ library). Also made a Labview program (with Kvaser CAN hardware) with simple user GUI for production line verification tests.-Presented at Generac Engineering Speaker Series: Genset load acceptance and sub-system control. Presented overview of ISO8528 step load, alternator V/F tuning, engine AFR and combustion timing, and turbocharger compressor sizing (including contributors to boost lag and threshold). All for obtaining the best possible genset load acceptance/rejection performance.

-Performed life and performance testing of diesel engine fuel &emissions system components.-Used chassis dynamometer (eddy-current), USB/Ethernet DAQ system(s) for measurement, and NI Diadem for data analysis to evaluate component performance.-Used Diadem to post-process time based data to crank angle domain with existing engine CKP/encoder signal.-Use of multiple OEM ECM software tools (CAT ET, Ford IDS, Isuzu IDSS) for datalogging and DTC retrial.

Waukesha Wi

-Conduct development, verification & validation, and emissions testing of industrial gensets.-Quantify engine knock with combustion analysis (AVL Indicom/Concerto).-Thermodynamic analysis applied to sizing turbocharger system components.-Maintained EPA CFR 1065 calibration compliance of emissions test cells.-Write Excel VBA code to automate data post-processing and simplify test requests.-Use high-speed data acquisition (Somat eDAQ) to measure and troubleshoot genset performance.-Administer engineering test request system.

-Evaluated the durability and reliability of small air-cooled engines with both lab and filed testing. -Used National Instruments and Somat (FCS 2100) data acquisition systems to collect data.-Supervised environmental degradation and cold chamber startability testing.-Quantified endurance test results in brief reports using statistical tools such as Wei-bull, binomial, and t-distribution.
