  Development and execution of gas engine base calibration procedures for GM dyno facilities:• Authored new engineering procedures to facilitate the movement of engine controls development from the vehicle to the dynamometer lab and math processes, resulting in reduced calibration development time, complexity & cost savings while improving data quality.• Developed multiple Simulink and VB.Net tools, which provided the ability to automate the execution of calibration engineering processes in the dynamometer. • Validated new tool output by establishing completion criteria to be evaluated both in the dynamometer development environment as well as the in-vehicle production intent environment.• Technical resource for dynamometer troubleshooting and issue resolution Show less Gas engine calibration specialist for 8.1L, 6.0L and 4.3L engine applications. • Provided technical software and calibration leadership for Engine Controls Product Development Teams (PDTs) – Spark & Cam Phaser - for current, new and major GM Powertrain engines.• Calibration deliverables for base engine spark, knock & cam phasers to meet program timing. Including calibrations testing for corresponding sensor, performance & emissions diagnostics.• Worked with Advanced Engineer teams to develop, implement and test new software and calibration designs for fft based ecu knock detection system.• Worked with Advanced Engineering teams to develop software and calibration designs for cold start emissions diagnostics. Show less Managed fleet of 15 to 20 test vehicles for 8.1L big block gas engine applications. Vehicle platforms covered light, medium and heavy duty trucks.• Maintaining vehicle fleet with latest development hardware, software & engine calibrations.• Development and execution of seasonal test plans for hot, cold & altitude testing.• Vehicle emissions testing to ensure calibrations are meeting development targets.• Drivability and engine diagnostic issue resolution for hardware and calibrations.• Periodic review and analyzing of test results with Senior Management and engineering staff.
