Prototype Fuel-Cell/Electric Hybrid Vehicle (Jeep Commander II) I/O Specification for Siemens electric motors I/O Specification for Siemens DC/DC Converter I/O Specification for DBB Fuel Cell Stack Controller Integration of dSPACE Micro-Autobox as vehicle powertrain controller Development of High Voltage Battery/Power Management system Size and Geometry Specification for all powertrain components Cost and Timing target development and trackingThis was the second prototype hybrid vehicle. I was responsible for integrating various electronic modules using the same skills and techniques as before (see below).

Project Engineer (Contracted to Chrysler Liberty & Technical Affairs)Chrysler Fuel Cell / Electric Hybrid Project (Jeep Commander) Coordinate Systems Modification with Suppliers Integrate Dual Electric Power Train into Vehicle (EPIC system) Organize and integrate all electrical system components Modify battery interface center (BIC) for vehicle Liaison between Chrysler Corp. and Suppliers for Fuel-Cell program Finalize Electronics, Test and Release vehicle for Auto-ShowsI was responsible for integrating various electronic modules into a prototype vehicle. My responsibilities included reading and writing electrical schematics. I also had to have a good broad based understanding of electronics, electrical interface issues, wiring harnesses, communication busses, EMI and electrical connectors.1/1995-5/1997 Troy, MIApplication Engineer/Design Engineer/Sales Engineer Design of various electrical systems Interface circuit design Small D.C. Motor drivers (H-bridge) CAN Bus Monitor (Hardware and Software design) Optical Position Sensors Misc. Micro-controller applicationsThis was a project based engineering position. I would meet with our customer, discuss the project details and deliver the project. This included all design work, debugging, PCB layout, testing, delivery and follow-up.
