PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Title: Intern Trainee

[Feb 09-Dec 09]

Client: Progressive Turnings, Chicago, IL

Description: This project was to virtually design the components using Pro-

E. Abacus was used to analyze the conceptual designs from Pro-E. Necessary

design documents were created to meet the requirements of ergonomics

department.

Responsibilities:

. Designed components like mounting brackets support group using Pro-E.

. Created part drawings for cover plates, brackets,bolts and nuts.

. Created BOMs (Build Of Materials) for assemblies using background

geometry.

. Converted these conceptual designs into formalized dimension drawings.

. Worked in a design team to evaluate the failure of a shaft in

manufacturing setup.

. Involved in testing of manufactured components and fatigue strength

analysis to predict design life.

Environment: AutoCAD 2000, Pro-E, Mat lab, Windows XP.

Title: Junior Engineer

. Analyzed the characteristics of releasing the spring inside the cylinder

manually.

. Performed reliability Engineering Analysis on Brake cylinders.

. Designed machine to release a Tension spring inside a brake cylinder

using CATIA.

. Calculated cycle time and production rates for manual and automated

process.

. Identified failure modes and analyzed to reduce these failures in real

life engineering systems.

. Specifications and Analysis of machine is done according to the standards

in workshop work floor.

Environment: AutoCAD 2000, CATIA, Windows XP.
