WORK EXPERIENCE
Lean Six Sigma Quality Black Belt Engineer
Niagara Falls Water Board - Niagara Falls, NY - September 2012 to Present
• Implemented DMAIC, DFSS and other Six Sigma Quality tools to improve the overall water treatment process
and management services. Optimized the usage of chemicals and improved the efficiency of the process by
54%.
• Utilized Value Stream Mapping, 5S and other Lean tools to eliminate the non-value added activities which
reduced the total lead time. Redesigned the entire process flow which is expected to yield an annual profit
of $2.1 million.
Research Assistant (Design Techniques Lab)
University of Maryland (UMD) - College Park, MD - June 2012 to August 2012
Researched on cognitive activities involved in making design patterns and documentation. Developed an
effective strategic plan by integrating all the Quality tools, which will help in the design and test of any service/
manufacturing process.
Research Design Engineer Intern
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) - Gaithersburg, MD - March 2012 to August 2012
Experimented with the MRED (Multi Relationship Evaluation Design) test plan model's preference elicitation
strategies using MATLAB coding and possible porting of the code to Vtech CORE systems modeling software.
Quality Engineer Intern
Thomson Linear Motion Control - Buffalo, NY - September 2011 to February 2012
• DMAIC method was used to solve the problem involved in the production process. Strategic Planning was
used to devise a new system to track Non-Kanban materials. DFSS method along with 5S was used to install
a new manufacturing line for gear drives.
• Just-In-Time manufacturing technique along with Order Scheduling method was implemented to reduce the
inventory stock and increase the performance efficiency rate of the manufacturing setup by 39%.
Process Engineer
Rane Automotive Group - Bangalore, Karnataka - January 2011 to July 2011
• Led corporate team in driving cost-reduction initiatives that resulted in $12 million saved over three years
through capital infusion and process automation. Dramatically slashed overall defect rates, from 0.80 per 100
