EXPERIENCE

Systems Design Engineering Intern
at Volvo Trucks North America, NC

May 2022 - Aug 2022

Worked with the Electrical Engineering & Vehicle Connectivity, Vehicle Engineering team of Group Trucks Technology at Volvo Trucks North America.
Vehicle Engineering is responsible for the integration and development of technologies into a complete truck for all brands within Volvo.
Developed a deep neural network-based regression model using Python packages such as Tensorflow, Keras, and Pandas to analyze databus truck data and predict dynamic response and system parameters.
Designed a PID controller for an innovative engine and braking control system and programmed the Raspberry Pi single-board computer to test the controller’s performance with a Volvo truck on the highway.
Examined the log files with Vector CANalyzer and observed a smooth speed reduction.
Supported software delivery and focus while working in a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) environment.
