● Calibrated different engine control software features, including Idle speed, climate, cold start, fuel and purge controls, the inferred oil temperature model and misfire on-board diagnostic monitor. ● Tested & validated calibrations related to those components in various climates at sea level and at higher altitudes in vehicles on the road in different cities, and in a lab on chassis dynamometers.● Troubleshot vehicle issues related to those components.● Wrote scripts to efficiently run tests related to evap. purge and the misfire OBD monitor.

● Oversaw & managed different durability tests of 2.7L & 3L GTDI engines in dynamometer test cells ● Troubleshot test cell & engine related issues using ADACS (tracklab) and AVL Concerto● Utilized Concerto to create trend plots to monitor engine performance, to summarize test results, and for troubleshooting.● Supported engine failure root cause analysis, and engine part analysis during post-test engine-teardown meetings.

● Installed smart control modules to customers’ home air conditioners to increase their efficiency and enable theircontrol through the internet, as part of Con Edison’s grid demand reduction program● Set-up and calibrated control modules and taught customers how to use them to obtain greater energy efficiency

• Designed and assembled a specialty lock using Solidworks and Autodesk Inventor • Modeled a coat hook and performed finite element analysis on it with Inventor

● Designed and assembled electronic components into a housing using Pro/E● Soldered and assembled electric circuits and other testing equipment for the generator of a Tomahawk engine.● Assisted in testing a butterfly valve containing a faulty o-ring resulting from a manufacturing defect with an aircompressor, to make sure that it could withstand 90 psig of air pressure.

- Performed start-up and safety steps required before testing a gasoline engine in a test cell, including, checking the engine oil and fuel levels and verifying the proper functioning of emergency switches- Utilized Excel spreadsheets after each engine run, to calculate the brake thermal efficiency & brake specific fuel consumption, to obtain the level of pollutants from the data collected, and to create graphs summarizing the results

Intern, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Department of Buses, Brooklyn, NY June 2008 - August 2008• Oversaw repair work related to the bus fuel reserve tanks and distribution system • Entered and organized data using MS Excel; filed invoices and receipts
