I worked as a Lead Engineer and Product Owner in the Methodology, Test & Data team, part of the Powertrain Testing Capabilities group. As a Lead Engineer, I am responsible for developing new Rig methodology for xHEV and BEV projects, adapting conventional and traditional resources into new approaches and testing capabilities that increase efficiency, productivity and repeatability.In March 2022, I became Product Owner in the Testing Capabilities group. I helped to maximize the value delivered, supporting the development team and managing the product backlog.

During this time, I led the Vehicle and Engine Torque Path Management and Driveability team. I was responsible of the full load calibration, smoke limitation, torque accuracy, engine derates, driver filters, Anti-shuffle, Anti-Jerk and Pedal Map. I worked and supported the calibration tasks on engine testbeds, HiL, ViL, and vehicles.As a Function Lead, I managed the calibration content on CRETA and I had to develop the technical issue investigation and tools so as to maximise efficiency and robustness. I undertook reviews with calibration and lead engineers to ensure the best practice is being applied across projects.

Work performed in the engine laboratory, managing the engine test bed activities and customer reporting. During this time, I have been taking part in performance and durability tests; vehicle and road simulation in test bed for Real Driving Emissions projects, and energy balance tests. Also, I have developed an IDIADA in-house software for calculating the combustion noise and performing the combustion analysis by using the in-cylinder pressure signal, where I was the technical lead of this project. The engine activities were performed with PUMA OPEN 1.5.3, ETAS INCA 7.2 and HORIBA MEXA–ONE. AVL ISAC 400 was used for vehicle, driver and road simulations. The combustion noise tool was developed in Matlab and MS Visual Basic. CONCERTO, DIADem and ETAS MDA were used for customer reporting.

Renault Valladolid

Engine Calibration Engineer for Emissions and Driveability, work performed in the diesel engine area for developing the engine calibrations to meet the emission standards.In Renault Valladolid, I have been working with the base engine hardware releasing groups, scientific labs, and vehicle teams to develop and implement best practice design and calibration solutions, performing test in accordance to Renault-Powertrain system functional objectives.

- Follow supplier delivery performance and the service of logistics partners and propose appropriate improvement action plans.- Ensure that logistics conventions comply with purchasing objectives and support conditions set by suppliers for procurement and packaging and by logistics partners for transport and services.- Verify that Sales and Production Plan capacity requirements can be supported by suppliers and implement corrective actions when necessary.

Valencia, España

Work performed in the thermal management area in thestudy of the reduction of energy consumption. The main topics of this workare based on the development of a quasi-steady model in order to improvethe calculation of heat transfer in cylinder head and it has been subsequentlyimplemented in the tool for the diagnosis of combustion developed by thedepartment.During the project, the validation of the model was performed in a 4-cylinder DI Diesel instrumented engine, the powertrain control was carriedout by DRIVVEN, the temperature record and the mass flow managementsystem was made through BenchLink DATA LOGGER 3 and AVL PUMA.
