What I Do I optimize the functions in the Engine Control Unit (ECU) of several vehicles, to improve drivability, emissions and consumption. This means, I test different functions in the car, communicating with it and managing the values in order to get the best results for a smooth driving. It also involves using correction functions that work over the lifetime of the vehicle, to ensure a correct behavior over time.
Why Engineering? I chose engineering because my passion is to understand mechanisms. During my childhood I saw how my father was fascinated by cars, and followed his passion to make it my profession.
