Academic Projects

Electronic Throttle Position Controller using Linear Potentiometer May 2016 – June 2016

Developed a control system to control throttle valve and potentiometer with a PID controller using Simulink and MotoHawk blocks

Calibrated the control system (gain, offset) using MotoTune ECU calibration tool

Environment: Simulink, MATLAB, MotoHawk, MotoTune, ECU, CANKing and CAN Communications

Modeling of Gasoline engine (GM Ecotec 4 Cylinder) and PI controllers for regulating Engine Speed May 2016 – June 2016

Designed engine state model in Simulink for stall, crank, and run states and incorporated PI controllers to maintain the gasoline engine at its idle speed and limit its maximum speed

Designed a Simulink model to control the engine's RPM and controlled the spark module in a test cell by communicating via CAN messages

Developed minimum governor and maximum governor strategies in Simulink and calibrated PI controllers to maintain the engine at its idle speed and limited its maximum speed

Environment: Simulink, MATLAB, MotoHawk, MotoTune, ECU, CAN

Vibrational Analysis of a Water Tank Aug 2015 – Dec 2015

Determined the harmonic response of the water tank made of reinforced concrete of experimental dimensions, here we will be finding out the natural frequency and the natural time period of transverse vibration of the water tank

Derived the equation of motion for a Spring-Mass system in vertical position

Conducted analysis without a damper and by placing a damper inside a water tank

Came to a conclusion that damper plays a vital role in reducing the vibrations from a small product to large one like water tank

Position and Velocity Analysis for Grashof Four Bar Mechanism Jan 2015 – May 2015

Involved in a team of 4 in modifying a Four Bar Mechanism with the grashof rule taken into consideration

Derived the equations for position analysis, velocity analysis and acceleration analysis

Developed equations with which the movement of the particle in global coordinate system as well as its position were predicted

Application of Curve Fitting and Regression Analysis to Develop an Equation for Thinking and Breaking of an Automobile

Jan 2015 - May 2015

Derived theoretical values (which were used for analyzing) for thinking and breaking of an automobile to apply brakes

Developed an equation using regression analysis for both thinking and breaking separately

Determined how much distance could be traveled by an automobile after the brakes were applied at various speeds

Fabrication of Water Cooler cum Water Heater with Air Conditioner Dec 2011 – Apr 2012

Built a prototype, which would produce hot water, cold water from the waste heat collected from the air conditioner compressor.

Calculated effectively all the necessary parameters for key components

Designed and drafted the prototype using AutoCAD, CATIA

Experience

Manufacturing Engineer Sept 2012 – Nov 2014

Cogent Glass Ltd, an affiliate of SGD, Vemula, India.

Produced the glass vials by minimizing the defects and maintained the production efficiency from 5 ml to 200 ml

Planned manufacturing operations to facilitate production Details of Manufacturing (DOM) in support of customer requirements and delivery schedule

Created and maintained accurate Bill of Material (BOM) requirements for DOM in support of customer requirements and delivery schedule

Updated planning as required for all purchase order/customer engineering changes and for all method improvement/correction type changes

Collaborated with project engineer in coordinating with customer and supplier engineers to ensure that all data, information, drawings, and other necessary information was available to produce quality parts

Incorporated appropriate tolerances and specifications into all planning documents as described by the purchase order and engineering drawings

Held responsible for finding and implementing approximately 260,000 ($4000) cost saving measures to achieve substantial reduction in terms of man-days, production cost, and energy consumption

Implemented lean manufacturing concepts like Poka Yoke, Kaizen, 5S, Root Cause Analysis and Fish Bone Diagram for reducing waste and improving productivity

Trained in the preparation of SOP and ISO 2011 and 15378 which is an application standard for the design, manufacture and supply of primary packaging materials for medicinal products

Mechanical Engineering Intern Hyderabad, India May 2011 – July 2011

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited

Development of Variable Part Programs for Machining Moving Blade Grooves of a Turbine Rotor Using Sinumerik CNC System

Developed the CNC program using G-CODES and M-CODES regarding how the grooves were made in the rotor by soliciting the help of an experienced engineer and how they are placed in the rotor hub

Managed to troubleshoot the system whenever it is going out of the phase

Developed the program on the basis of calculations such as Constant Surface Speed (CSS), Feed/Min, Feed/Rev, Time Required for One Cut

Mechanical Engineering Intern Hyderabad, India May 2010– July 2010
