Project The project includes a literature study reviewing the

history of wind turbine designs with focus on examining

Alternative concept to the standard gearbox form for

converting the output rotary motion from the turbine blades to the

Rotary input motion needed by the

generator/alternator.

Work Ultralife Batteries Inc, Newark, NY

(July 2008- Nov2008)

Experience Mechanical Design Engineer Co-op

Ultralife Batteries specializes in developing and

manufacturing a wide range of high-energy Non-

Rechargeable and rechargeable power and charging

systems for diverse applications in defense and

Commercial markets.

. Designed, developed and implemented prototypes to improve the

performance of the non-rechargeable (Thin cell/9 volt/Hi rate

cylindrical) and rechargeable (Lithium ion) batteries and

accessories includes chargers and cables using Auto CAD,

Solid work.

. Tested the prototypes for the final product design which

helped to reduce the overall cost of the material and

production cycle time.

. Utilized the product data management system to create

/modify/update 2-D and 3 -D drawings using Auto CAD, Solid

work and resulting bill of materials (BOM) in the support of

Ultralife manufactured products.

. Generated a system mechanical layout including all of the

components of a thoroughly detailed design which was

comprised of properly modeled CAD files.

. Utilized the existing data from previous testing procedures

to improve design methods in engineering.

. Worked as a part of Mechanical/Automation engineering team

with development and manufacturing engineers to create

product and tooling drawings with final construction

documents and specifications.

. Utilized ANSI 14.5 and Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerances

(GD&T) as a Standard practice.

. Prepared and present the technical status reviews.

. Considered the implications of issues such as cost, safety

and time constraints.

. Produced details of specifications and outline designs.

. Managed the projects with engineering principles and

techniques.

Vicor Corporation, Andover, MA

(Dec 2007-May 2008)

Manufacturing/Process Engineer Co-op

Vicor Corporation engaged in the development,

manufacture and sale of power conversion Components,

Custom power solutions, accessory products and

systems.

. Improved overall processes and related issues including

process development, scheduling, creating process

documentation using different problem solving tools including

Root cause analysis, DMAIC.

. Utilized statistical techniques to understand process

variables and their impact on outcomes with the help of

statistical software Minitab.

. Utilized knowledge of product design, materials & parts,

fabrication processes, tooling & production equipment

capabilities, assembly methods and quality control standards.

. Worked on ECN (Engineering change notice) so as to change

components, assemblies and documents for a particular

process.

. Measured and analyzed the consistency of solder paste height

on specific apertures with evaluation several options of

screen print stencils using Minitab.

. Presented manufacturing engineering excellence by planning

and implementing improvement projects (including machine

design, process layout, and process documentation)

. Collected and analyzed in process data to determine areas for

process improvement.

. Supported Maintenance personnel in problem solving equipment

or process failures

. Worked with engineers in the area of product testing,

component and/or material Evaluation, process improvement and

failure mode & effective analysis (FMEA).

. Designed a workstation for vacuum kit assembly where trim

leads and debris are removed so as to minimize scattering of

particles during trimming with the help of Lean manufacturing

Tools.

. Designed, Modeled and Implemented fixture for cleaning SMT

Solder paste stencils of any sizes in semiautomatic

ultrasonic stencil, screen and misprint cleaner using 3D CAD

Mechanical Design Software's-Solid work, Auto CAD.

. Designed, Modeled and Implemented fixture for identification

of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Belonging to

ROHS (Restriction on hazardous substances)/NONROHS using

3D CAD Mechanical Design Software's-Solid

Works, Auto CAD.

. Developed and evaluate ideas for cycle time reduction

Academic

Projects

. Design and modeled Sandwich-Holder considering Customer needs

and market conditions and applied DFMEA (Design failure mode

and effective analysis) technique to review various failure

modes.

. Design and Analyzed load distribution on the beam structure

using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in Algor FEMPRO and Solid

work, Auto CAD.

. Optimized Tungsten inert gas welding process parameter using

Robust Design (DOE). The desired outcome of the project was

to determine the optimum process Parameter levels, leading to

minimize variation and maximized stud weld strength.

. Designed and Manufactured porous bearing Porous bearings are

self lubricated bronze bearings, manufactured by PM

technique, Containing pores filled with lubricating oils so

that the bearings requires no further Lubrication.
