PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Manager Mechetroinics - July 2006 -- Present -- Daimler Truck Group, Portland, Oregon.

Provided leadership and technical direction for the integration of Daimler AG Common Electrical Architecture and controllers into Freightliners' Cascadia vehicle platform. Work included the integration of two Mercedes Benz passenger car electronic controllers and development of two new body controllers. Managed all communications and diagnostics on Freightliner's vehicle platform

Responsible for the development of diagnostic and function test procedures for hardware in the loop project. Derived requirement documents for body controller simulator used in a hardware-in-the-loop test facility.

Participated in the global management group which is responsible for the designed the electrical architecture for a new Mitsubishi Fuso medium duty commercial truck.

Manager - July 2001 -- June 2006 -- DaimlerChrysler Research and Technology, Sacramento, California

Global project manager for DaimlerChrysler fuel cell vehicle data acquisition system. Developed data management concept; estimated budget needs wrote both “in-vehicle” and “back-end” infrastructure specifications; set-up infrastructure and brought all systems on-line.

Data Manager for U.S. Department of Energy fuel cell project: wrote, developed, and managed budget and project proposals. Project manager for overall global team, spread across four countries and 27 sites. Solicited and obtained quotes from five major global IT providers; Reviewed quotes, met with IT companies, and managed selection process.

Performed summer and winter competitive fuel cell vehicle testing at Southwest United States. Performed dynamometer testing on various Daimler and competitor fuel cell vehicles. Responsible for instrumentation, collecting and analyzing both dynamometer and on-road data.

Created web page to be an interface between vehicle data (communicated via WLAN) and end user. Developed and designed web system to automatically generate vehicle reports.

Senior Design Engineer -- October 1999 -- July 2001. Mercedes Benz Passenger Car Group, Stuttgart Germany.

Responsible for overall electrical system operation of the transfer case with central differential lock and rear differential axle locking systems. Work includes prototype vehicle development using ceramic circuit material, supplier selection and development of system specification requirements.
