RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

Process Engineering Intern

Performance Friction Corporation, Clover, SC August 2015 – December 2015

Performed capability study and cost analysis on production loss

Initiated various continuous improvement projects like redesiging electrical enclosures for press heaters using Solidworks to prevent heater failures due to conductive dust and high temperature

Reverse engineered one of the slide station on bonder machine using Solidworks and increased throughput by 10%

Performed 8D analysis on brake caliper paint quality issue

Worked on Engineering Change Order and PPAP submissions for brake pads.

Improved accuracy of flatness measuring sensor by performing Gage R&R analysis and reduced variation from 47% to less than 10%

Reduced scrap rate from 4% to 2.5% by modifying process flow

Fabricated tools cart based on lean principle with shadow boards to eliminate tool loss.

Designed a new fixture for slot saw machine to reduce machine vibrations and brake pad to pad slot depth variations

Designed new floor layout to reduce material movement for maximum efficiency.

Monitored and modified equipments to improve efficiency.

Quality Engineer

Vimal Industries, Chennai, India September 2012 – July 2014

Performed In-Process Quality Checks(IPQC), Final Quality Checks(FQC) and internal audits

Maintained company’s control plans; quality documentation; created quality manuals and procedures, and quality assurance reports

Performed time studies for various machining operations and reduced cycle time by stream lining repetitive jobs

Aided in 5S principles implementation with the quality assurance team

Trained and supported the machine operators to adapt and follow 5S principles

Inspected products to make sure that they are compliant with the technical and customer specifications

Performed root cause analysis for specification non complaint products and implemented corrective measures

Conducted kaizen improvement activities on cost reduction

Created daily and monthly PM for various machines

Manufacturing Intern

Ashok Leyland, Chennai, India June – July 2011

Performed time study of the chassis assembling process

Identified non value addition tasks and reduced bottle necks

Provided recommendations to optimize assembly flow and process to minimize people per machine per day

Updated standard work instructions for manufacturing processes in accordance with the established GMP’s

GRADUATE PROJECTS

Reverse Engineered Remote Controlled IC

Anna University, India February – April 2012

Utilized CMM to obtain physical dimensions of IC engine.

Created computer model of the engine based on the measured physical dimensions

Molded IC engine with better material to increase operating temperature.

Case Prep Analysis

ZF Transmission Gray Court, SC February 2015

Lead 2-member team to perform Measurement System Analysis(MSA) on depth gauges used in automatic transmission assembly

Created FMEA and SIPOC study for the measurement process.

Performed Gage R&R analysis on the depth gauges and found measurement variation of 35% well above AIAG standard

Recommended to replace the depth gauges so to reduce the gauge variation in the measuring process.

GE Wind Turbine Power Transmission Modeling

Clemson University, SC August – November 2015

Modeled gearbox for 1.7MW wind turbine with the data from General Electric along with 3 other students.

The various sub-assemblies were designed to meet the constraints like minimum transmission weight, maximum power efficiency and minimum production cost.

Evaluated the model against critical operating conditions like maximum load, temperature using ANSYS software.

Optimization of weight of the G-Switch Sensing Element

Clemson University, SC November – December 2015

G-Switch employed in rockets, space shuttles to sense the acceleration of the vehicle, and actuate landing mechanisms.

Reduced the weight of G-Switch sensing element.

Performed Pareto optimization on the switch to optimize the weight without degrading its performance.

Analyzed the optimized model by integrating ANSYS with modeFRONTIER and VisualDOC softwares respectively.
