FORD MOTOR COMPANY

HIL Engineer
(March 2021 – May 2024)

Main Tasks:

  • Dynamometer Data Analysis using MATLAB.
  • Numerical simulations in Simulink in order to predict powertrain’s behavior.
  • MATLAB scripting in order to plot features on certain gearshift events.
  • Algorithm analysis in order to describe software improvements on transmission features.
  • OBD DTC’s testing on HIL bench using dSpace Control Desk and dSpace Automation Desk.
  • Stimulus files development in order to use dSpace Automation Desk and automate the testing.
  • Transmission valves dither feature analysis.

Transmission Calibration Engineer
(November 2015 – March 2021)

Main Tasks:

  • Data analysis script in order to determine the time for a gearshift to be completed, so we could decide if a change of material in a Synchronizer of a Double Clutch Transmission should be made.
  • Clutch Filling Feature Lead in order to prepare the different clutches’ for Upshifts and Downshifts in an eight-speed torque converter-based transmission.
  • Refinement algorithm calibration in order to compensate for car to car variation and system non-linearities.
  • Numerical simulation of strategy’s algorithms in order to minimize calibration time during development.
  • Detection of a circular pattern in manual transmission car lever in order to recognize the trajectory of it using Stereoscopic Vision.
  • Development of Matlab based Pedal Control using ATI Vision as an interface in order to command pedal profiles and make more accurate tests with a variability factor still present.
  • Digital Signal Processing on sensors signals in order to process transmission data.
