• Successfully took the Wear Sensing ECU from the PV phase to production where it is currently in use by customers
• Developed electrical test bench solutions to speed up and optimize testing➝ Utilized Vector CANalyzer and created a custom Arduino based CAN receiver to efficiently procure and analyze J1939 CAN data
• Generated internal and external product specifications for the Wear Sensing ECU
• Collaborated and coordinated with the trailer controls, electrical hardware, vehicle test teams, and both internal and external vehicle diagnostics groups to implement Bendix wear sensing features onto multiple platforms
• Performed both tractor and trailer retrofits to gain field test data and provide real world industry demonstrations
• Led the coordination of both short term and long term solutions to large scale supplier production issues while minimizing exposure to the customer ➝ Guided efforts in the field to resolve faulty products both onsite.

• Created new and modified existing test bench wiring harnesses for both power delivery and data collection. Ultimately this made for a more modular, easier to set up bench
• Programmed Python and MATLAB scripts to automate systems/systems integration testing and expedite both test data analysis and report generation➝ Test environments included automating power delivery changes, sending.
• Derived 100+ test cases from a use case matrix and identified additional test cases outside of the use case matrix scope due to unaccounted fault states or deviations
• Collaborated with the software team to analyze abnormal test data resulting in software or specification changes
• Utilized Vector hardware and software tools (VX Box, CANape, and CANape COM API) for test bench setups and data recording
