PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Project Engineer February 2008 - Present

. General duties involve new product design, create product

specifications, review drawings, develop work instructions, DFMEA,

DVP&R and track design objectives/program timing.

. Generated design concepts to develop an advanced diesel fuel

filtration system to meet Tier 4 requirements on common rail

application. Researched materials and manufacturing processes required

for the design. Created 3d models and worked with vendors to procure

components. Successfully validated all components, design requirements

and manufacturing processes.

. Designed and implemented certain modifications on filter systems to

improve reliability, safety, quality and manufacturability and

throughput.

. Supported and coordinated the re-sourcing and validation of filter

system components. The strategic cost cutting program resulted in a

savings of 5 million dollars in 2008.

. Actively involved in validating new products and design or

manufacturing changes on existing products through in-house Design

Verification and Production Validation Programs to ensure products

meet specification, performance, durability and most importantly

satisfy customer requirements and expectations.

. Serves as a liaison to customers and also a key coordinator for

customer's qualification needs including engineering reports, samples,

data and negotiation of qualification requirements. Actively manages

customer notification and approval processes in accordance with TS

procedures on product changes.

. Works closely with the sales team to develop new business in North

America, Europe and China.

. Rapid prototyping of filtration systems for potential new customers by

hearing the voice of the customer.

. Develops packing specifications for all fuel filter models.

University at Buffalo, State University of New York, Buffalo, NY

Fall 2007

. Conducted a Six Sigma project to reduce the number of defectively

molded HP Indigo printer rollers.

. Utilized the concepts of Six Sigma and DMAIC techniques to solve the

problem.

. Minitab was used to study test data.

. Prior knowledge of injection molding techniques helped to provide

technical assistance to setup molds correctly for the rollers.

Nissan, Abu Dhabi, UAE Summer 2005

. Drafted engineered drawings with bills of materials for engine

components.

. Reviewed feasibility of new product design, identified potential

issues, and implemented changes that improved the part's form and

functions.

. Studied the working of engine computer analysis equipment for

efficiently diagnosing engine problems in Nissan cars.

Thermodyne Technologies, Chennai, India Summer

2004

. Studied the design, construction and working of a biomass fired

boiler.

heat transfer components for boilers.

. Researched and analyzed the feasibility of a boiler design proposal.

. Evaluated field installations and provided design recommendations for

boilers to and improve reliability, maintainability and prevent system

malfunctions.

TRAINING

. Completed a Dale Carnegie course on Effective Communication and Human

Relations.

. Successfully completed a fuel systems training on fuel injection pumps

and injectors.
