• Developed embedded control system software for all wheel drive systems for application across the GM fleet and implemented in Simulink to autogenerate C code

• Designed an electric all wheel drive controller strategy for fault scenarios with minimal sensor data available. Deployed within an entirely new software component that also bundled transition blending, speed control and actuator constraint application and brought to production release in 9 months

• Developed control software for active clutch torque control and managing all wheel drive connect state for a single clutch electromechanical all wheel drive system

• Validated performance and robustness of both components using CarSim vehicle handling simulations

• Performed a variety of finite element simulations ranging from linear statics to nonlinear explicit dynamics using LS-DYNA, ABAQUS and OptiStruct in support of various automotive OEM programs

• Modelled a wide array of phenomena including carbon fibre composite components, occupant safety and thermomechanical hot blow forming of boron steel body structures

• Responsible for side barrier crash simulations to support development of the carbon fibre door structure, carbon fibre tub and metallic side impact structure on a high performance niche vehicle

• Effectively communicated simulation results and recommendations to design engineers, tool designers and program managers through simulation reports and in person to drive design decision making
