2011 - 2016: Navistar

PROJECT LEAD ENGINEER

• Project Technical Lead – Manage Bosch deliverables for a total of 4.5 million Euros for fuel system controls and On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) software, calibration, testing and MX1 Hardware. Coordinate various functional teams to support technical issues, maintaining and following processes, supporting documentation, and tracking issues to closure. Lead weekly status meetings, supported monthly face to face program design reviews and monthly executive status presentations. Support implementation of work packages of MX1 module deliverable documentations of DVP&R (Design Verification Plan and Report), FMEA, and signoff for Development Verification (DV) phase. Ensured timely work package deliverables from supplier (Bosch) on engine dyno and vehicle testing.

• Controls Integration lead engineer of MaxxForce Diesel Engines for a variety of truck applications for commercial truck and bus vehicle (class 8 commercial diesels) in North America. Coordinated a team of engineers to timely deliver the new and updated strategies as per program milestones with full validation reports and progress reports.

• Controls gatekeeper: released software and calibrations for ECM controls bench, dyno and vehicle testing on fuel system, airpath, features, and aftertreatment strategies. Provided official internal release letters and calibration packages on time for program deliverables. Implemented, delivered and tested internal software releases for software content for initial integration check on time meeting program milestones.

 

2008 - 2009: Hamilton Sundstrand

SYSTEMS ENGINEER

• Executed system level documentation flow down for Airbus A350 extra wide body (XWB) electrical power generation system design (EPGS), analyzed requirements and reviewed discrepancies. Defined system functional requirements to meet performance and operational goals., Tasks included ensuring that requirements were incorporated into lower level documents and allocated in subsystems and components specifications using DOORs.

• Modeled the steady state conditions of the electric power generation system requirements that were flowed down and captured in subsystem performance documentation using an in-house operational environment (EXEPS). Developed test scripts in TCL to validate system simulation in steady state conditions. Ensured functional requirements were achieved, reviewed systems performance and assessed its capability to meet contractual agreements.

• Wrote the system modeling requirements and implementation plan (MRIP) in order to define activities that demonstrated compliance with design requirements provided by Airbus for the A350-XWB electrical power generation system.

• Defined a functional validation plan for control logic. Directly interacted with technical leads to ensure interface issues and schedule commitments were addressed by the teams.

• Negotiated required resources to meet agreed commitments.

 

2007 - 2008: Electro-Motive Diesel

LEAD ENGINEER

• Project engineer - benchmarked expertise to improve the current process of requirement documentation and model implementation within control systems.

• Executed development and deployment of department wide project to overhaul existing software architecture into modeling-based diagrams to allow auto-generated code in order to improve efficiency, delivery time, and automate prone-error process to implement better practices. Decomposed logic for model conversion and proposed detailed plan for tracing requirements to validate software for customer satisfaction.

• Evaluated current set of tools available (Telelogic Rhapsody, Borland Together, and MatLab Simulink) for feasible options based on project requirements and budget constraints. Researched UML 2.0 concepts for object oriented methodology to improve current software practices. Analyzed applications to identify ideal tool that would capture requirements, modeled in object oriented approach, and implemented control logic of state-machines devices to deal with periodic signals.

 

2004-2007: GE Aviation

CONTROL SYSTEMS ENGINEER

• Team Lead GEnx-2B program for Control Diagnostics. Coordinated customers and identified major milestones to track progress into next year’s plan. Coordinated closely with internal customers to identify similarities in design from other maintenance logic applications for areas of commonality and to verify completion of communication design. Defined user system requirements and interface definitions for new product.

• Translated customer needs and system requirements into points “critical to quality (CTQ)”, and design requirements. Decomposed system requirements and allocated them into subsystems. Maintained and defined interface definitions, requirements traceability, and modeled control logic systems. Optimized requirements development processes, methods and tools to support new product development and legacy products.

• Implemented GP7200 Maintenance Fault Logic for software delivered to Airbus by executing the process for diagram modification, model compilation, validation, testing, presentation and documentation of results. Maintained close communication of progress and adhered to export compliance regulations with contractors, supervising their assigned work. Software build arrived on-schedule for the A380 first engine start in Toulouse, France.

• Received Green Belt certification for Six Sigma Process by successfully applying the DMAIC concepts and completing “Ps56 Accuracy Improvement” project. Identified a potential multi-linear regression approach for engine sensor models. The project improved the sensor model value prediction by reducing the error 53%.

• Successfully met software delivery deadline for GEnx by completing testing of Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) Component Level Model (CLM) in Open Loop environment for GEnx-1B. Compared model vs. real engine data in order to verify robustness of FADEC model at different transient conditions.

 

2002-2004: Wyle Laboratories NASA contractor

INTEGRATION ENGINEER

• Project Lead - Developed and interpreted interface and design requirements such as Interface Control Documents, certification, verification, validation, and test documentation for flight-worthy payload hardware/software used aboard the International Space Station in support of cellular biotechnology research in microgravity. Worked closely with customers throughout the program to ensure hardware met technical expectations, cost and schedule.

• Assembled flight hardware and analyze qualitative data on power performance for Treadmill with Vibration Isolation and Stabilization (TVIS) system on the International Space Station. Generated test plans and assembly procedures with layout and precision inspections from blueprints/released drawings. Developed Lifetime Analysis/Maintenance Plans using dynamics and structural equations.

• Monitored/Tracked requirements and allocations from work package deliverables to follow design and development of hardware to ensure specifications for Gas Supply Module System for Biotechnology Facility on the International Space Station. Responsible for design, validation, improvements, documentation and testing of flight hardware to meet product requirements and accommodate program milestones. Provided solutions to customers for solving technical problems associated with test facilities.
