Vehicle performance engineer specializing in steering systems for medium and heavy duty trucks.

San Antonio, Texas Area

Project engineer leading contracted R&D programs for combustion engine design. Serve as the combustion systems project lead for a DARPA program to safely and effectively destroy chemical weapons in a controlled manner using COTS hardware to treat poisonous chemicals through innovative processes.• Improved data analysis capabilities and saved 1,000 man-hours annually by upgrading analysis software to compile, process, and graphically summarize test data from multiple data acquisition systems.• Enabled early detection of engine system issues by devising control charting documents that track performance parameters and automatically flag statistical outliers to ensure components stay within specifications • Upgraded chassis dynomometer load capacity from 100 hp to 800 hp through innovative design conceptualization, hand calculations, components selection, designing/drafting in SolidWorks CAD, finite element analysis (FEA), and fabrication > Lead R&D engineer for a $10 million Defense Acquisition Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program to develop an internal combustion engine based mobile processing plant to destroy chemical weapons in a controlled manner and treat poisonous chemicals through novel filtration and neutralization processes.> Directed a $2.5 million customer program, collaborated across four labs, and developed a model that uses available engine data to track real-time injector fouling rate to within 3% of bench value, giving the customer a competitive advantage by allowing them to be first-to-market with technology.

Project manager for fuels performance and transmission testing projects for engine systems using chassis dynamometers and engine stands. Interfaced with customers and assisted with proposals and reporting.• Oversaw all aspects of product development, including needs analysis, design conceptualization, modeling and drafting, and fabrication• Eliminated ASTM D5500 test invalidation due to on-road vehicle test data acquisition issues by adding redundant and independent sensors to mitigate the risk of data loss• Routinely collaborated with cross-functional teams comprised of contracts management, legal, accounting, fabrication, environmental, safety, and purchasing support.> Expanded the capability of existing 2WD chassis dynamometer to include AWD/4WD and hybrid vehicles by converting to an adjustable 4WD chassis dynamometer with independent synchronously driven wheels. Performed needs analysis, compiled design requirements, performed hand calculations and finite element analysis (FEA), drafted the final design in SolidWorks CAD using DFM principles, and managed the successful construction.

Raymond, Oh

Collaborated with design engineers, manufacturing operations, and vendor suppliers to bring vehicles into production. Worked with injection molding and assembly to provide pre-production and production parts. Supported the ’09 Acura TL’s move from prototype to mass-production and provided factory training on specifications and testing requirements.> Designed a door-trim panel for Honda R&D Americas using DFM principles from conception to final design in CATIA CAD, which was used in mass production of the Honda Odyssey minivan.
