Product Engineer for the assist mechanism on a column assist style Electric Power Steering System. •Designed a new lower friction bearing system for the assist mechanism input shaft. •Designed a large torsion bar for a product test stand used to develop the EPS steering column. The torsion bar simulated the downstream compliance of the system and greatly improved the engineer’s ability to test different tuning algorithms on the test stand rather than in a vehicle
