Delivering new high voltage battery systems for upcoming electric vehicles. Focusing on the mechanical aspects from assembly through maintenance and end of life.

Worked on the development and launch of the 7.3L V8. Worked with vehicle operations, plant manufacturing, design and release engineers, service engineers, and interfacing systems teams to help with the integration of the new 7.3L V8 into SuperDuty, Econoline, Medium Duty Truck, and Commercial Stripped Chassis. Was a core member supporting launch issues both at the plant and in the field with respect to the 7.3L V8 engine.Led the introduction of the upgrade for 6.2L V8 into SuperDuty for MY2020, including coordination with all suppliers and the manufacturing site to insure timely delivery of new product.

Monitored current production warranty for 5.4L V8, 6.8L V10, and 5.0L V8 applications. Worked with manufacturing, design and release engineers, suppliers, and service engineers to introduce quality fixes for customers.

Completed a wide array of powertrain projects for customers:Design: Assisted with the clean sheet design of a unique single cylinder research engine - Created design concepts to meet product specifications - Modeled design concepts - Analyzed modeled components to verify safety factor and proper function - Created FMEA documentation for created components - Created tools and assembly sequences to meet the unique challenges of the engine Created a dedicated "boost" rig for engine testing - Determined necessary specifications based off of engine test plan - Selected and sourced all necessary components for rig construction - Analyzed rotating and moving components to ensure proper operation (belt assembly, shaft assembly and supercharger mounting assembly) Development: Performed friction teardown test for a customer to direct future friction reduction path - Isolated various components and subsystems to determine contribution to overall friction - Analyzed the effects of various engine oil and engine coolant temperatures on overall friction - Recorded, processed, and presented data to customerPerformance & Emissions: Led an alternative fuel conversion engine development program at customer site - Supported prototype hardware design direction with testing results - Analyzed the effects of hardware changes on key engine operating parameters (BSFC and peak torque) - Worked closely coupled with design and analysis teams - Presented results weekly to customer team, and quarterly to customer executive team

Worked on the high temperature mechanical properties of aluminum alloys and aluminum welds. The work was sponsored by ONR (Office of Naval Research).This work included designing an experiment to create and validate the use of non-destructive test methods for determining residual strength in aluminum alloys.Programs used: MATLAB, Mathematica, Unigraphics (NX 7), and ANSYS (Fluent)Equipment used: MTS Tensile Machine, Leco Vickers Hardness Machine, FEI Quanta 600 (ESEM), Krautkramer MIC-10 Portable MicroVickers Tester (UCI Type), and Hirox KH-7700

Work as test engineer, applications engineer, and systems engineer. Responsibilities have included setting up tests, running tests, processing data from tests, ensuring products meets customer specifications, proof-checking engineering drawings.Programs Used: Minitab Statistical Software, Microsoft Office Utilities, Somat FCS and Somat EDaq Software.
