Calibrate automatic transmission shift quality for GM emerging markets applications. Integrate small engines with AT transmissions. Travel to high altitude sites (Andean Mountains) in order to consider extreme operational conditions to calibrate transmissions. Creation of a new calibration strategie to account for very low torque kick-down shifts (AT integration with small turbo engine). Creation of calibration tools in MATLAB. Understand SIMULINK models or C code softwares to proper calibrate.

Understand the dynamics of fuel injection and charge intake process; Understand the dynamics of the combustion process; Understand torque converter static and dynamic models; Model shift hydraulic systems and open loop transmission control;

Academic exchange with a specialization in mechatronics.
