Worked to integrate, calibrate and test the software in GM’s next-generation electric vehicle Battery Management Systems (BMS). Specifically, I own and calibrate/integrate all battery diagnostics, wireless communications, contactor controls and isolation controls for the Ultium batteries in the upcoming Hummer EV. SIL, HIL, and development vehicles are regularly used for DAQ and verification, while statistical methods such as Monte Carlo analysis and six-sigma analysis are used during calibration optimizations. Root-causing and analysis of complex prototype systems, as well as cross-functional systems engineering are fundamental components of the role.Some key tools used in the position are: Matlab, Simulink, C code, Inca, vSpy, dSPACE, ControlDesk, Rapid prototyping

Detroit, Michigan, Us

Responsible for 12V parasitic drain performance for an emerging electrical architecture on upcoming production vehicles. Daily activities involve leading a team of six engineers through the following tasks: Integration of the latest beta software into test vehicles, testing vehicle module shutdown processes, analyzing module power performance/root causing out-of-spec performance, and working cross-functionally to have the errors rectified. Position requires extensive knowledge of vehicle 12V systems, vehicle communication protocols (CAN/LIN), and experience root-causing mechatronic systems.

Assisted with the operation of a metallurgical engineering lab. Work was focused on metallurgical forensics pertaining to the failure analysis of prototype parts. X-ray diffractometry, SEM investigation, stereoscope analysis, and electrolytic etching methodologies were the primary means of conducting failure analysis during my time in the lab. During my time in the lab, I came to understand the importance of residual stresses within materials, manufacturing processes, alloying element selection, material compositions, and laboratory best-practices.
