DEEP ORANGE 16 INTERN, CLEMSON UNIVERSITY

➤ Designed and validated a HiL bench test setup for Brembo’s Sensify brake-by-wire system, including calibration, fault detection, and fail-safe logic using Simulink Stateflow
➤ Developed a brake supervisory controller and start-up state machine on a New Eagle Raptor ECU; validated via SiL and HiL testing
➤ Executed real-time HiL tests with Raptor ECU to verify braking functions and system robustness
➤ Created a torque vectoring algorithm to replicate differential behavior in a 4-wheel hub motor hybrid architecture
➤ Designed wiring harnesses and built a suspension HiL setup to test real-time control strategies
➤ Developed a custom HMI using the MoTeC C1812 display; implemented CAN-based GUI for live data visualization and steering wheel button-based navigation
➤ Followed the V-model systems engineering process to define requirements, coordinate cross-functional teams, and perform physical testing per US Army TOPs and FMVSS standards.
