OBJECTIVE

To seek a career in Design, Product Development and Quality Improvement to create superior machines

SUMMARY

I have two years of experience in design, manufacturing and testing of engines’ casting, forging and machining in

design release and early production stages with following roles; Design Engineering, Product development,

Quality improvement, Change management and Dimensional variation analysis.

Product Development – Process selection and planning of cast and forged components for machining

feasibility, supplier design issues, efficiency, reliability and cost reduction; current and new product

introductions in early production stages

Quality Improvement - Dimensional Variation Analysis (DVA), Client Engineering Specifications, Process

flow diagrams for machining, Root Cause analysis, Design for Six-sigma, Statistical process control, Process

capability, Engineering standards

Dimensional Metrology - Dial Indicators for geometrical accuracies of CNC machines, Pneumatic gages,

Analyzing CMM and surface finish reports, Oil Leak testers, Vernier calipers, micrometer, thread gages

Hands-on experience with 3D CAD tools such as Pro-E, NX, CATIA, AutoCAD for modeling and

assembly, GD&T, Finite element analysis (FEA), vehicle testing, CNC programming, Prototyping for DVP

& R - milling, turning, grinding, welding, honing and sheet-metals

Mechanical Engineering Intern

CertainTeed Corp., Plymouth, WI (Jun-Aug 2014)

The job involved continuous improvement, quality control, maintenance planning in a ceiling lamination plant

Developed maintenance plans for lamination, splitting, trimming and milling machines

Used statistical sampling for new lamination glue usage and requirement, resulting significant cost saving

Design projects on duct work and spring block for various thickness of ceilings as continuous improvement

Introduced cold-jet equipment and updated the plant layout using AutoCAD

COMPUTER SKILLS

Siemens NX Pro-E AutoCAD MATLAB MS Office

Team-Center SolidWorks CATIA HyperMesh Minitab

PROJECTS

SAE- BAJA – Design of ATV (Fall 2010)

The aim of this national competition is to design and build an off-road vehicle that will survive a rough terrain

Managed chassis/suspension and leaded multiple teams to facilitate prototyping of other sub-systems

Performed CAD modeling and impact tests using Pro-E and HyperMesh for chassis and suspensions

Built three chassis prototypes for validation of cockpit, suspension and engine mountings

Fabricated chassis (roll-cage) and wishbones by welding and grinding processes

Steering Performance Testing of SUV, Michigan Tech (Spring 2014)

The project was focused on testing the deviation in required steering angle of an SUV by varying position of center

of gravity by adding half ton of additional weight fixture in different vehicle locations

Developed a math model in MATLAB to locate the CG of vehicle

Designed and built a prototype front hitch fixture to shift vehicle CG for the selected SUV

Instrumented sensors for data-acquisition of steering position, speed and yaw rate

Tested on-road steering performance at various speeds and turn radii

Design, Prototyping and Testing of Steam Turbine, Forbes-Marshall (Spring 2012)

The objective of this project was to design a steam turbine to replace pressure reducing valve in steam boilers and

recover the energy wasted due to the use of pressure valve

Designed a steam turbine including rotor, blades, casing, shaft, bearings, mounting support and a gearbox

Built a turbine prototype using turning, grinding and welding for test and validation of feasibility.
