Research Assistant Resume Detroit, MI - Hire IT People

SUMMARY:

SAE certified powertrain controls and calibration engineer experienced in developing test procedures, designing embedded controls, system identification and model designs using basic engineering principles. I have developed embedded controls for gasoline engines, verified, released and implemented software I built in MotoHawk on a 2.4L GM - ECOTEC engine. I did HIL and SIL testing to test software before implementation on real engine and built robust diagnostic calibrations for accelerator pedal, throttle and fuel injection in MotoTune. Currently I have been working on system identification and embedded engineering controls for a prototype vehicle using in wheel drive and calibrating and testing the software functionality. I am designing the control algorithm in LabVIEW to manage battery outputs for separate wheel drives control in accordance with solar power output. I have gained skills in OBD calibration, data acquisition using CAN tools, engine controls, AUTOSAR and simulations.

WORK EXPERIENCE:

Research Assistant

Confidential, Detroit, MI

Responsibilities:

Performing system identification in MATLAB to design LQR integrated Kalman filter for tracking a 4 wheel drive
Developed test procedures to estimate Instantaneous Center of Rotation (ICR) referenced to future path for least slip and perfect separate control of in wheel drives for autonomous driving of Electric (EV) and Hybrid Vehicles (HEV)
Designing control for power electronics in LabVIEW to manage battery system for braking and power transmission

Controls Trainee

Confidential, Pontiac, MI

Responsibilities:

Designed an Embedded engine Powertrain controller in Simulink and MotoHawk to control fuel injection and throttle of a 2.4L engine using CAN and LIN protocols (J1939) and HIL testing for verification.
Developed, verified and implemented the control software on the engine and calibrated the fuel injectors, spark modules, throttle actuator and accelerator pedal.
Worked on code generation to define CAN messages for proper communication and ECU troubleshooting
Designed min and max governors along using PID controllers for 3 states of Engine: Stall, crank and Run

NVH Controls Intern

Confidential

Responsibilities:

Investigated NVH characteristics using LMS Test Lab, Head acoustic systems and Ultrasonic leak detection methods
Utilized Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) to analyze the noise and vibrations in Engine Power-train
Provided technical feedback and Co-designed clutch pedal for reduced vibrations, optimizing the Power-train dynamics of Confidential
Examined noise due to aerodynamic drag, engine noise and vibrations due to compressor motor belt through data acquisition and signal processing of experimental data and drafted a V-cogged belt design of Confidential

Powertrain Diagnostics Intern

Confidential

Responsibilities:

Inspected rejection of Euro 3 & 5 engines at Firing Test Bench; occurring at 2000-2500 rpm using past 5 months data
Studied causes such as crank-cam co-relation related problems, crank flow problems, ECU shut off, and exhaust gas analysis problems to suggest changes in production methods in the power train department
Worked on product development of dyno tested diesel engines and developed plans to reduce engine rejection
Augmented production by 28 engines per week while adhering to European emission standards
