Experience VEHICLE CONTROLS ENGINEER March 1995 - Present U.S. Environmental Protection Agency National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Lab Analyzed a novel hydraulic vehicle transmission, specified and developed an electronic control system to oversee vehicle operation. Controller managed hydraulic pump/motors, valve networks, and a direct injection turbo diesel engine to obtain peak performance and efficiency as part of the nationwide Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV). Took part in efforts to abate drivetrain NVH. Used Matlab and Simulink to create detailed models of vehicle systems and EAGLE PCB to develop schematics and printed circuit board layouts. POWERTRAIN TEAM LEADER Fall 1992 - Summer 1994 Cornell University Hybrid Electric Vehicle Team Cornell University Developed an advanced hybrid electric vehicle powertrain design featuring real-time control of a multiple-motor system incorporating a high power brush DC motor and a high efficiency brushless permanent magnet motor. Designed and fabricated multi-purpose microcontroller electronics using CAD/CAM. Created a modular software simulation system to aid in powertrain design and optimization. Developed a 200V/400A DC motor controller for use with the Advanced DC L91-4003. ROBOTICS RESEARCHER 1990 - 1995 Computer Science Robotics and Vision Laboratory Cornell University Engaged in extensive hardware design, development, production and debugging. Gained experience with distributed, multi-language, multi-processor sensor systems. Performed real-time programming of autonomous mobile robots. Designed a sophisticated digital infrared communication / proximity detection system. Created detailed technical documentation of hardware and software. CONTROL SYSTEM ENGINEER Fall 1991 Universal Special Effects/Australian National Maritime Museum Sydney, Australia Designed control software and hardware for permanent interactive exhibits with an emphasis on robustness, error detection and recovery. Performed ladder-logic programming of PLCs.
