I have had the amazing opportunity of working at Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, Michigan. While the work that I did there is strictly confidential I can say that I got experience working with multiple projects that all circulated around a common goal. I was in a group that covered on-going product development specifically dealing with high voltage battery systems. There I created a complete design verification method (DVM) for studying high voltage battery cells. To do this I had to analyze capacity, internal resistance, strain, and force trends for battery cell/pack usage and aging. I also had to validate current battery design robustness and battery degradation trends for the DVM and future designs.
