Powertrain testbench and pedal controls.

Build a platform for integrated powertrain testing.

The testbench combined electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic components so the team could wire, calibrate, troubleshoot, and iterate before full-vehicle integration.

Design, wire, calibrate, test.

• Designed and fabricated the functional testbench.
• Programmed, calibrated, and tuned electronic components through the motor inverter.
• Used design matrices and physical analyses to select commercial and custom parts.
• Traced and connected wiring to the vehicle harness and troubleshot circuitry.
• Modelled preliminary driver foot-pedal designs in SolidWorks and integrated electrical components with the pedal box.
• Programmed pedal travel for the desired motor response and driver comfort.
