February 2011 to March 23 2012 at the Milord Proving Grounds: My position was in the Hybrid RLM (Road – Lab –Math) calibration group. I was responsible for developing procedures and algorithm with regard to the early 60th -75th percent calibration of sub- processes of Hybrid Powertrain control systems. And the transition of these calibrations from work.

From July 2006 to July 2007: I one of a three member team charged with integrating A&D technology with MTS technology into a highly dynamic dynamometer data acquisition and control system. The system used A&D’s AD5435 high-speed measurement and control system and MTS’s iTest to create a new type of dynamometer data acquisition and control system. The.

Track support which comprised of engine, traction control calibration and some engine development and interpretation of combustion data for Toyota Indy Racing League engines. Again an attempt to get back to what I had been doing successfully on the C5R and with McLaren, this was a failure due to maturity and technical skill levels between myself and the.

Technical sales and support of combustion related measuring technologies for the mid west USA. This was a technical sales position for which I was poorly suited.

Responsible for supporting the development and testing of a combustion model for use in algorithm development for Turbo / VVT Engine Control while contracted to Daimler Chrysler Advanced Engineering.

I was responsible for all development, mapping and calibration and track support for the McLaren version of the Chevrolet IRL engines used by Blair Racing thru the Pikes Peak race,The results were a string of top ten finishes leading to forth in the 2002 Indy 500 and Alex Baron was co rookie of the year. This position ended when Blair Racing was taken.

Managed the conversion from Delphi to Bosch engine control systemDeveloped all maps and calibrations for C5R after conversion to Bosch system.Developed Camshaft and Intake changes that maintained peak horsepower and increased peak torque 7.5% with a 10% reduction in restrictor size and improving fuel economy by 18 %.Developed 24 hour and sprint versions of.

I was the application engineer for DSP Combustion Analysis EquipmentSoftware and algorithm testing and developmentInstructor for combustion analysis classes.Performed technical support to CAS customers

I was lead calibrator for 2000, 2001 Ford Contour, F Truck and 131 propane/ gasoline and CNG/ Gasoline Bi-fuel vehicles. I calibrated the first certified ULEV emissions bi-fuel Pickups sold in the USA.I trained and supervised staff of calibration engineers.

I specified the hardware, developed and calibrated the engines for the Saleen / Allen racing team during the 1997 season. Races included Daytona 24 Hrs, Sebring 12 hrs and Le Mans 24 hrs.Project Manager responsible for the design and development of an Eaton supercharged 4.6 L. Saleen Mustang for production.Project Manager responsible for the emission.
