WORK EXPERIENCE
LHP Engineering Solutions Pontiac, MI
Gasoline Engine Controls Trainee Oct 2018 – Mar 2019 Gasoline Engine Controls Teaching Assistant Mar 2019 – Mar 2020
Promoted from being trainee to teaching assistant job role
Spearheaded 51 graduate engineers in engine controls bootcamp program resulting in revenue of 432,000 USD
Maximized customer satisfaction by 100% through continuous engagement, review sessions and through experiential learning
Responsible for supporting to manage the sub-division since October 2019 and have been voice of the customer
Guided trainees on development of software for gasoline engine speed control and engine calibration built out
Designed wiring diagrams for Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) and HIL test benches
Performed HARA and determined ASIL levels for ETC and steering wheel systems to prevent unintended acceleration and steering
Developed safety requirements for power failure and stuck throttle valve test plans with fault monitoring techniques
Troubleshot Distributed Control System (DCS) by decoding CAN message script files interfacing with sensors and actuators
Debugged engine embedded control algorithms on HIL test system and re-instated the importance of validation through Red X approach while finding the principal reason for engine stall within spark control authority
Solved problem on fuel injectors when testing for different fuel injection patterns, noticed carbon built up due to unburned fuel as it penetrated into intake and fuel injection systems due to valve overlap while running rich
Supported in investigating the root cause for engine back fires during cranking which taught me significance of proper wire harnessing and design documentation
Performed borescope inspections on engine cylinder pots and air-intake manifold chamber, noticed scoring and learned paramount importance of air sealing
Succeeded in software Validation & Verification (V&V) for cruise control model on the engine
Developed state determination logic, state, setpoint and initial condition managers, PI tuning, closed, open, feed-forward control systems and optimized engine speed control strategies to meet software control requirements
Instructed SAE J1939 (21/71/73 layers) uniquely, engine speed control Simulink Models; minimum and maximum governors CERTIFICATION
SAE International - Fundamentals of Automotive Functional Safety Control Systems Using ISO 26262 - Gasoline Dec 2018 IEEE - Fundamentals of Automotive Functional Safety Control Systems Using ISO 26262 – Gasoline Mar 2020
