Engineering Intern – GEE Cooling May 9, 2016 – July 29, 2016
Ford Motor Company Dearborn, Michigan
I worked on a total of 12 projects at Ford. The two main projects were turbocharger system benchmarking and a
warranty investigation. Both projects required work with my fellow Ford team members as well as outside suppliers. The
benchmarking project resulted in an all-inclusive feature list of competitor vehicles’ systems which will be used to
advance Ford’s future products. The warranty investigation helped to narrow the root cause of the issue and provide a
solution to prevent similar situations in the future.
Engineering Intern – GM Applications May 4, 2015 – September 7, 2015
Bosch – Automotive Technology Plymouth, Michigan
My main responsibility within Bosch’s GM Applications sector was to perform in-vehicle maneuvers in order to
evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP). This involved using Bosch’s
instrumentation to monitor over 40,000 live signals and analyzing the results to decide if the vehicle has performed to
General Motors’ standards while maintaining an enjoyable driving experience. I also helped the calibration engineers
develop future technologies for their Anti-Lock Braking, Traction Control, and Vehicle Dynamic Control systems.
