Controls Engineer – Gas Engines and Aftertreatment System

Caterpillar Inc.
06.2024 - Current
  • Analyze CRMs and develop or modify controls logic for the Diesel Engine Aftertreatment System.
  • Execute DEF (Diesel Emission Fluid) quality simulation.
  • Performance and data analysis for 'Ramp mode cycle' (RMC) and 'Not to Exceed' (NTW cycle), and create a report for emissions numbers to certify the engine's compliance with development and regulatory goals.
  • Compare the lab data and simulation data to run test points to ensure that the NOx level meets the emission regulations. (i.e. EU-V, Tier 4F, IMO 3, and test cycle standards ISO 8178.
  • Work on AECD (Auxiliary Emission Control Device) by going through software models, controls strategy, and calibrations to verify that DTC, SPN, and FMIs are triggered accordingly, and the effect of those on overall aftertreatment system performance.
