SVE of Electronic Power Steering, Electronic Transmission Range Select, Mode and Power Manager, and External Vehicle Controls on Autonomous VehiclesSubsystem Validation Engineer – Autonomous Development & Validation Autonomous Vehicle technology is a rapidly developing area of automotive engineering, deploying multiple new sensors, subsystems and features to the vehicle. The combination of these sensors, radars, lidars, and vision systems provide detection of vehicle surroundings. Control systems interpret sensory data to provide navigational paths, detect objects or various traffic signs while in use. Data is also used to distinguish between other vehicles on the road and is useful when planning a desired route. Responsible for: • Work within a team to coordinate validation efforts for multiple features relating to responsible system. • Work with Chassis electronics where autonomous systems are involved or Autonomous specific subsystems depending on assignment • Perform integration bench level testing on multiple new safety critical features • Create, manage and execute test plan • Develop test methods and models to be able to test new safety critical components and features • Automate test scripts and work with HIL setups to execute test procedures in a closed loop model environment • Capture and analyze data to troubleshoot issues • Generate and release testing reports • Provide interface for team to other departments and suppliers • Develop and lead test methods in this growing area • Travel (minimal) as required • Coordinate with test engineers at MPG testing autonomous subsystems on vehicle to correlate data and split testing workload

GE’s Trip Optimizer, a product of Ecomagination, automatically controls a locomotive’s throttle, helping keep trains on schedule while minimizing fuel use. This makes the process of delivering locomotive freight more fuel-efficient and less costly.Trip Optimizer creates an optimal trip profile that can minimize braking by automatically learning a train’s characteristics. The system calculates the most efficient way of running by considering such factors as train length, weight, grade, track conditions, weather and locomotive performance.During the trip, a sophisticated network of on-board computers and GPS systems update the profile continuously, adjusting for changes so the train can arrive on time — and with minimum fuel use. Responsible for development of new functions and leading the team through design reviews covering concept, implementation, validation planning, testing, and support. Interacted directly with the customer while supporting various engineering runs for field testing, data collection, and identifying customer concerns by riding real trains loaded with test software.  Recognized as an expert of Route Accumulator function of Planner which is responsible for generating a route profile that governs the output of the optimized fuel plan. Recognized by peers and management for attention to detail, inclusiveness, work ethic, and external focus.  Cooperated with the global research team to solve challenging problems.

EEDP is an intensive program for people who have a passion for technology, a drive for technical excellence, and share in GE's core values. The program is designed to accelerate participants' professional development through intense technical training and a variety of business-critical assignments. Edison graduates have the technical and business foundation to proactively and continually make innovative contributions to GE's future.EEDP is a two- to three-year entry-level program consisting of three or more rotational assignments. Rotational assignments are engineering projects driven by real GE business priorities. The program cultivates technical problem-solving skills via advanced engineering coursework, formal reports and presentations to senior leadership, in addition to valuable work experience. Train Control Subsystem Engineer - Provided design specifications, conducted validation, and supported manufacturing of domestic and international locomotive requisitions. Train Control entails all locomotive 3rd party boxes such as HMI, Air Brakes, etc. Trip Optimizer Planner Engineer - Provided support during concept design, requirements, and validation of the Planner Subsystem for several fuel savings enhancements. Planner subsystem is responsible for generating the most fuel effective train route given certain constraints. Locomotive Systems Engineer - Analyzed and gathered field data for Auto Engine Start/Stop Fuel Savings Initiative to determine the cause behind the savings gap between Legacy and Evolution Locomotives. Supported testing and development of a containment and/or fix for the issue. Trip Optimizer RTE Engineer - Supported resolution of software bugs found in the field. Developed an excel macro tool to increase data analysis effectiveness during data processing. RTE controls motoring/braking trainlines, speed regulation, train handling, and error handling.
