WORK EXPERIENCE

Sr. Controls Engineer

FEV - Auburn Hills, MI - March 2012 to October 2013

Created hardware, and software specifications of the EPA Hydraulic Hybrid Vehicle project that FEV would be

developing into American Hydraulic Powered (AHP) production project.

• Organized the Matlab Simulink functional blocks/tasks of the AHP software design, and began the process

of ordering the OpenECU controllers, and software utilities to support the process of converting the existing

C-code to Matlab Simulink model based designs. The model based designs were created in accordance with

ISO26262.

• Using variable names in accordance with AUTOSAR naming convention converted the C code to a Matlab

Simulink model base design to be used in the application and the basic software layers.

• Using Matlab Simulink designed/developed the Rx/Tx CAN J1939 communications subsystem of the basic

software layer to support the DBC file message/signal structure.

• Created the software interface between the application software and the basic software layers.

• Created the DBC files and associated spreadsheets to support two J1939 CAN communications links.

• Validated software changes and new software releases using dSpace's HIL, as well as on the pre-production

AHP Vehicles.

• Provided software design/support for the pre-production AHP Vehicles.

• October 2013 FEV canceled the AHP project due to funding.

Cobasys/SBLimotive - Orion, MI - October 2010 to October 2011

Using Matlab Simulink designed/developed the Rx/Tx CAN communications from the Fiat DBC file for the Fiat

F500 EV Battery Pack.

• Using Matlab Simulink rewrote the sensor abstraction layer to make it easier to use.

• Using Matlab Simulink designed/developed the F500 rolling counter qualified high voltage battery contactor

closure, the verified high voltage contactor command, the qualified high voltage contactor algorithms; and

other algorithms to support the customer required signals.

• The model based designs were created in accordance with ISO26262.

• Using Matlab Simulink developed scaled down EV Battery Pack for Proof Of Concept for Chrysler.

• Used TargetLink, SimiQuest, and Cosmic compiler to perform the build process.

• Validated software changes and new software releases using ETAS's HIL

• Developed Automation Desk scripts to perform customer specific hardware in the loop safety testing.

• Used utilities such as Doors, Etas INCA, Etas Labcar, UDE, ABC150.

Software Engineer (Contractor)

Platinum Professional Services - TRW - Farmington Hills, MI - June 2010 to October 2010

Developed the VI Test Tool(VTT) using Visual C# for the VI Project. The VTT provided complete testing of

the Remote Keyless Entry, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System using CAN, and Berkes communication

interfaces. The VTT provided the user with several forms, and an output display used for software release

validation, and end of line testing.

Embedded Software Engineer

SCT Performance LLC - Longwood, FL - 2008 to 2009

Worked alone to reverse engineer the Dodge RAM Cummins 6.7L diesel engine control module(MPC5554)

CAN-OBD2 diagnostic seed/key security, and all checksums. Once the link was reverse engineered, designed/

developed CAN-OBD2 downloader/uploader embedded software using C/C++ for the automotive engine

tuner handheld electronics. The embedded software was built on the ST 32-bit ARM9 and ARM7 platform.

Development was in embedded C/C++, and assembly.

Sr. Embedded Software Engineer (Contractor)

Bartech Inc - Brighton, MI - 2006 to 2008

Using Matlab Simulink designed/developed the shift point algorithm, and torque management algorithm

software for the next generation 6 speed automatic transmission.

• Using Matlab Simulink developed the output diagnostic feedback for the automatic transmission to support

OBD diagnostics.

• Using C/C++ developed the embedded OBD2 diagnostic algorithms for the transmission control modules.

Using C/C++ modified the PCM software to separate engine controller, from the transmission controller

software.

• Using OBD2 diagnostic utilities validated the engine controller module software to confirm the compliance of

the customer requirements, and compliance of the CARB regulations.

Sr. Software Engineer (Contractor)

EDS/General Motors - Milford, MI - 2005 to 2006

Using Matlab Simulink developed the transmission controller module torque management algorithm software,

and SPI communication software for the Hybrid vehicle. While debugging software used INCA in the vehicle

and on the bench in conjunction with RT-Lab for hardware in the loop. Used EACRTRK to track all software

changes. Used CM Synergy for configuration management.

Sr. Software Engineer (Contractor)

Technology Resource Group - Canton, MI - 2001 to 2004

Developed embedded automotive forward compartment module/gateway(FCMGW) software using C based

on a Star12 processor to provide external lighting, wiper, power shed, and alarm features.

• Lead the software testing by reviewing the Software Requirements Specification(SRS), then creating a

verification matrix, followed by a functional acceptance test procedure. Once the functional acceptance test

procedure was completed, the verification matrix was verified, thus assuring the satisfying all requirements

outlined in the software requirements specification. Lead the design and development of automated software

test station using Borland C/C++, to provide testing of the embedded Forward Compartment Module/Gateway

Module. This software testing provided automated functionality testing of the external lighting, wipers, system

modes, power train, internal diagnostics, gateway functionality, and associated timing requirements using the

OBD2 port, and other interfaces.

Software Engineer (Contractor)

Motorola Automotive and Industrial Electronics Group - Rochester Hills, MI - 1998 to 2001
