• EcoCAR Mobility Challenge is a GM sponsored program to turn a stock 2019 Chevrolet Blazer into a hybrid-electric vehicle capable of level 2 autonomy. I worked on the Controls/Systems Modeling and Simulation team (CSMS).
• Design architecture team member responsible for design optimization and powertrain components selection.
• Authored Architecture Definition Overview proposal that detailed three powertrain options for the vehicle.
• Developed a control scheme and vehicle plant model capable of simulating vehicle performance with two electric motors.
• Wrote a MATLAB script to automate simulation process over various types of powertrain setups.
• Utilized the Simulink Requirements tool to generate documentation that characterized various features of the vehicle model.

• Process Engineering Intern responsible for manufacturing process efficiency studies for an upcoming engine assembly line for Toyota Motor Manufacturing. Overall objective was to reduce processes, increase quality, and.
• Conducted comprehensive review of 8 different manufacturing lines totaling 85 processes during start-up phase.
• Implemented process design changes that reduced process time, improved process ergonomics, and increased product quality.
• Eliminated 3 processes during the internship. Plans to eliminate 5 additional processes were submitted but not completed during the tenure of the internship due to approval time. Toyota estimates a savings of $560,000.
• Conducted presentations weekly to the plant’s general manager on findings and an evaluation of potential improvements.
• Participated in Standardized Work – Kaizen Program which teaches members how to diagnose problems and inefficiencies in the production and assembly lines.

• EcoCAR 3 was a GM sponsored program to turn a stock 2016 Chevrolet Camaro into a hybrid-electric vehicle. I worked on the Mechanical and System Modeling and Simulation teams that provided engineering solutions to the.
• Co-developer of a comprehensive mathematical hybrid powertrain simulation model using MATLAB/Simulink software including Stateflow.
• Tested and tuned vehicle supervisory control software in SiL (Software in the Loop) environment using a closed-loop platform containing vehicle plant model simulations.
• Developed driver model capable of coasting propulsion behavior to further refine and tune vehicle control strategy in SiL environment. Tested and documented fault mitigation and powertrain safety code.Mechanical:
• Used NX 9.0 Routing software to design two complete coolant system concepts, including pump and reservoir packaging, for the vehicle’s 30 kW Denso electric belted alternator starter (BAS) system and 75 kW Parker.
• Designed and implemented a custom mount for an AC/DC power inverter to be made from an aluminum carbon-fiber mesh. Additional design challenges included accounting for coolant lines, HV and LV routing, thermal and.
