Ford Performance Design and Release Engineer, Chassis Jan 2017 - Current

Developed and released 3D printed bracket. Created non-handed design to reduce complexity in assembly plant and eliminate risk of misbuilds.

Established component requirements and reviewed supplier concepts.

Designed coil spring, stabilizer bar system, and shocks for use in high-performance off-road vehicles.

Supported GT350 current production for all chassis components, including root cause analysis of warranty return parts and validation of component changes.

Mercury Marine Co-op, Engine Design Analysis Aug - Dec 2012

Investigated performance potential of four stroke engines in GT-Power.

Performed DoEs focusing on intake manifold parameters, camshaft timing, valvetrain/intake manifold technologies, cylinder bore, and bore/stroke ratio.

Benchmarked eight competitor four-valve cylinder heads on a SuperFlow 1020 flowbench.

Determined optimal performance for possible engine configurations for an all-new engine. Chrysler Engineering Intern, Powertrain Testing and Analysis May - Aug 2014

Developed mobile external engine oil system for dynamometer testing and oil pump development work.

Designed and performed dynamometer tests for validation of external oil system, and presented test results.

Calibrated magnetic and turbine flowmeters and developed calibration procedure for continued use.

Prepared graphical analysis of cylinder head, intake manifold, and air intake system benchmark data. Toyota Technical Center

May - Aug 2013 Co-op, Drivetrain Engineering

Localized the manufacturing of a specialized transmission nut.

Benchmarked competitor transmissions, identified possible cost reduction/transmission improvement ideas. May - Aug 2012 Co-op, Drivetrain Engineering

Developed training on automatic transmission operation and calculations, and trained new-hires. May - Aug 2011 Co-op, Cost Engineering

Determined cost drivers for the cowl and investigated techniques to reduce the cost while maintaining performance.
