Raymond, Oh

Aerodynamics Lead for 2023 Honda Pilot● Plan, coordinate, execute and summarize full scale and model scale rolling road wind tunnel testing.● Plan and coordinate CFD simulations to determine aerodynamic sensitivity to different vehicle geometry changes● Develop aerodynamic countermeasures for exterior styling and underbody, engine room and cooling components toreduce aerodynamic drag of vehicle.● Work with exterior stylists and vehicle design engineers to implement countermeasures and optimize parts to meetrespective department appearance, feasibility and layout requirements.● Coordinate test part design and manufacturing to support wind tunnel and CFD testing activity.

Dearborn, Mi

Develop fuel tank straps and shield for future Ford model programs.

Dearborn, Mi

Worked on aerodynamic development for 2020 Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair to meet drag and lift deliverables to attain fuel economy and performance targets. Develop and prepare CFD models using CAD and meshing software then utilize CFD software to run design of experiment (DOE) optimization of vehicle shape and aerodynamic features as well as evaluate exterior design options. Use wind tunnel testing to test and validate future vehicle design features.

Dearborn, Mi

A rotational program lasting for approximately 2.5 years which includes 4-5 rotations in different engineering positions within Ford's Product Developement organization. These positions include vehicle engineering, design and release (D&R) and vehicle launch engineering positions meant to give engineers a taste of the different engineering roles within Ford Motor Company.Rotation #1: Core Engineer for Fuel SystemsRotation #2: Engine Performance Development EngineerRotation #3: Design and Release Engineer in Air Induction SystemsRotation #4: Powertrain Program Management Engineer (Powertrain PMT)Rotation #5: Aerodynamics Engineer

Dearborn, Mi

Manage production during the first vehicle prototype phase of production, insuring that powertrain components are built to engineering specification. Working in plant environment assisting line personnel with assembly or manufacturing issues, insuring that cars are built on time.

Dearborn, Mi

Work on early model development to meet restriction targets for air induction system using CAD modeling and CFD analysis. Sign-off on prototype production builds to insure correct execution of intended design. Resolve warranty claims using problem solving and work with supplier to fix the problem.

Dearborn, Mi

Modeled entire engine system using computational methods in order to accurately predict engine performance and make high-level design decisions. Used computational methods to compare Ford products with competitor products and develop better performing components to increase engine performance.

Dearborn, Mi

Worked on finding and developing more durable and cost effective coatings for fuel tank straps to resist abrasion. Bench-marked Ford components against competitors' components, spoke with suppliers about manufacturing methods and worked with suppliers on developing new solutions. Resulted in development of design that was much more resistant to abrasion and also more cost effective than other designs.
