In this assignment at GM, I am currently responsible for the performance, testing and validation of safety restraints for all occupants in the rear seat of a future luxury car. I perform modeling analysis of different crash scenarios to assess performance to meet all corporate and federal regulations. These tests help establish a baseline for tuning the vehicle with physical tests. Many of these tests are equiped with instrumented dummies ranging from infants in child seats to adults. I also am responsible for managing all rollover testing for this vehicle. We evaluate various physical tests out at the Milford Proving Grounds. Tests are designed to mimic actual safety incidents on the road ways, such as curb and soil trips, corkscrew, and ditch fall over, in order to assess the restraint performance, as well as provide data from the sensing hardware for all the airbag deployments.
