EXPERIENCE

CATERPILLAR - JOLIET/DECATUR, ILLINOIS

Engineer (October 2011 -Present)

. Responsible to lead and implement process control techniques (APQP) at

different stages of NPI projects

- Develop system requirements to meet CCRs using Flowchart, Boundary

Diagrams and Interface analysis

- Identify potential failures of the system/process through robust FMEA

and DVP&R/Control plan and mitigated design and process failures

before production.

- Identify critical characteristics of the part and collaborate with

relevant teams to ensure proper process and controls are followed in

manufacturing them.

- Involved in a TS 16949, boundary samples and supplier PPAP activities

. Inspect and evaluate supplier process, SPC, standard work procedure and

quality control methods to meet our product requirements

. Develop SOP, Quality action report, Root cause analysis, Permanent

corrective actions, and Verifications for several supplier quality issues

through 8D technique

. Perform Reliability Warranty Analysis, and Carryover and Proactive

Reliability Analysis;

. 6 Sigma Project (under progress) - Cylinder Rod Seal Performance

Criteria; defined the problem with the help of customer feedback,

measured the performance of the seal as per the performance criteria,

analyses and provided design solutions and improved the performance by

23%. Process control is in progress.

. Trained 6 people under APQP, Control plan and Operations

AUBURN UNIVERSITY - AUBURN, ALABAMA

Graduate Research/Student Assistant - Full time (August 2008 - August 2011)

. Designed and modeled a fast pyrolysis auger reactor with process capacity

a ton per day. This work comprises of designing a reactor and performing

Life - Cycle Cost Analysis

. Produced bio-oil from biomass and analyzed its characteristic features by

determining their physical properties

. Conducted statistical analysis to observe the oil production process and

developed problem solving, root cause analysis and preventive maintenance

procedures to maximize and standardize bio-oil production and process

. Conducted DOE and ANOVA analysis (using Minitab) to understand the effect

of operating parameters of the process over the physical properties of

bio-oil and later process capability (Cpk) of the was also determined

. Certified Instructor of Design and Manufacturing Lab; Working knowledge

of different measuring instruments and their applications, operating
