OBJECTIVE
I have worked for several years on a small research and development campus. I have had experience in many roles such as: pre-production type manufacturing/test of hydrogen fuel cells and automotive lithium-ion battery cells, data tracking and analysis, testing protocol development, component characterization and validation, and data interpretation and presentation. My main objective for my career is to continue working with cutting edge technology concentrating in the process/applications engineering side of things to facilitate quality products in a more efficient and effective manner.

EMPLOYMENT
Project Engineer - Medium Scale Fuel Cell Durability Modules
General Motors Fuel Cell (Trison), Honeoye Falls
September 2012 – Present
Using my 5-plus years of fuel cell testing experience, I process and analyze data from medium scale fuel cell modules to track the progress of the test. The fuel cell module incorporates the entire system that would make it into a vehicle, and the materials used in these stacks are fairly late in the screening process for material selection. In this role, I:
• Compile reports that track performance, trends, and repairs over time
• Request and schedule diagnostics procedures at regular intervals along the life of the fuel cells
• Analyze diagnostic test results to make decisions about repairs and other configuration changes
• Identify failure modes and look for trends that may trigger early failures by looking at material lots, supplier changes, and anomalies that occur in the testing process
• Present my findings to my peers and other groups within the research team
Component Test Engineer
General Motors Fuel Cell (Trison), Honeoye Falls
October 2007 – Present
• Configure and build test apparatus’ to accomplish specialized tests
Integrate testing methods for prototypical products
• Characterize pressure drop and thermal efficiency of a new heat exchanger-like fuel cell module component
• Characterize the effects of humidity, temperature, and pressure on an H2 sensor to provide data for an algorithm to correct the feedback on a real-time scale
