Powertrain Dynamometer calibration test bed development for hybrid electric vehicles.HIL calibration test bed development for BEV, FHEV, and PHEV vehicles

Exhaust System Catalysis & Vehicle Emissions ComplianceTeam defines engine feedgas targets and recommends calibration and control strategy enablers to meet future regulatory emissions requirements. Aftertreatment systems designs are then developed to these targets.Maintain field correlation of aged catalyst performance to accelerated dynamometer based catalyst aging.Manage engineering catalyst design & release activity for new product development.

Lead cross functional efforts between Global Engine Engineering, Engine Calibration,Chihuahua Engine Plant, Powertrain Quality, and Supplier Technical Assistance to identify and address component and system issues affecting engine quality, cost, and warranty indicators. Engine is used in Ford Light Duty Pick Up Trucks F-250 to F-550 and Ford Medium Duty Commercial Trucks F-650 to F-750.

Directed all aspects of V12 engine program including: program proposals, budget, engineering, supplier development, and manufacturing product launches.Team successfully brought to market the DB7 Vantage, Vanquish, and DB9 V12 engine variants. The introduction of the V12 engine marked the return to profitability of Aston Martin.
