PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Visteon Corp/Ford Motor Co, Dearborn, Michigan 2/89 – 12/08
Powertrain Control Module Design Department
Project Design and Release Engineer
Hardware Design Leader for multiple Ford vehicle programs and Polaris Motorcycle, from concept to production plus one year (warranty analysis).
o Capture customer requirements; design and develops precision analog, digital electronic circuits, and power control electronics; Experience with MPC56x, STAR12, and ST10 microprocessors. Schematic capture and netlist using Powerview/DxDesigner ECAD software. Conduct design reviews and feasibility studies.
o Create EBOM, Engineering Specification, Special Build Request, and Release Notices.
o Oversee PWB layout (8 layers, 1400 electronic components), H/W test program development, and embedded S/W development.
o Lab evaluation of H/W, calibration PWB, and S/W (along with customer software). Troubleshoot and redesign the PWB if required.
o Main interface to customer. Conduct DFMEA on new circuits/functions, review layout of critical circuits (CAN, CLK, Resets, etc), create P-diagrams, provide prototype modules, support vehicle durability/EMC testing, and evaluate field failures using the Ford 8D process.
o Main interface to manufacturing. Schedule and support Prototype, DV, and PV builds. Incorporate manufacturing inputs in the PWB layout and EBOM creation. Work with the validation groups for module environmental testing.
o Incorporate TQCM actions to drive overall profitability of the program(s).
