Attempt IT Solutions Farmington, MI, USA

Validation Engineer March 2019- May 2020

Responsible for Validation of Powertrain systems and ePT (Electric Powertrain) System on HIL, based on Component Functional Technical Specification (CFTS) documents and Vehicle Feature (VF) requirement documents.

Induced faults to ensure ECM warning systems are compliant for Torque Security and On-board Diagnostics (OBD) to test the reliability and durability of vehicle features against fault based diagnostic testing.

Conducted verification testing to ensure diagnostic calibration and software meet functional objectives through HIL testing.

Performed ECM Software and calibration verification tasks of Vehicle Systems through HIL testing on dSpace HIL simulators using ProveTech and ETAS INCA.

Identified issues relating to software, model, requirement and calibration. Reported issues on the Powertrain Issue Tracking System (PITS)

Performed Documentation of test Results, development of test cases and test plans on the Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP& amp;R).

Setup HIL models on the simulator and flashed ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (sion Control Module) controllers sing ETAS INCA and CDA (Chrysler Diagnostic Application) tools.

Setup CAN models on CANoe and CANalyzer to facilitate data logging and CAN message manipulation on the bus for vehicle systems.

Data acquisition using Calibration Data Manager and ETAS INCA to monitor calibration changes and model behaviour for test conditions.

Flashed the ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module) to perform validation of Powertrain Control Software.

Worked collaboratively with Systems engineers, Calibrators, Model and Controls engineers to identify and fix issues in the PCM software.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Light Weight Materials for Chassis Components September 2019- December 2019

Gathered all material properties and analysed it to meet required standards.

Developed a report with pros and cons of the suitable chassis materials.

Detailed their properties according to the cost-efficient factor.

Studied polymer composite behaviours under various loads (Vehicle Mass).

Infused a composite material with all pros from various selected materials into a single material.

Opposed Combustion Chamber February 2019- May 2019

Designed a prototype of combustion chamber with single piston and two cylinders assembly.

Assembled model produces two power strokes for 720-degree rotation of crank shaft.

Eliminated the need of multiple cylinders using this design.

Reduced the engine size for the same output power generated.

Developed and tested the model using Solidworks and ANSYS software.

Multipurpose Robot January 2018- May 2018

Automatic robot which helps to extinguish the fire rapidly using chemical foam.
