Associate Mechanical Engineer KNOWLEDGE LABS PVT LTD Pune, India June 2014–July 2015

• Create and modify 3D/2D drawings for component parts and assemblies using CATIA V5.

• Created detailed drawings using CAD (CATIA V5 R20) and performed stack up analysis using GD&T tools & directed first lot inspection using CMM.

• PPAP tracking under ISO/TS 16494, ensured all Design goals and parameters are met. Led 3 projects on DFM principles from start to production. Supervised and collaborated with cross-functional Teams and Vendors.

• Managed engineering documents viz. DVP, BOM, DFMEA, DVP&R, DV/ PV Build Schedules.

• Led a Team of four professionals as a Team leader in completing Design projects for 8 months. Project Trainee BHARAT FORGE LTD, Pune, India May 2013-May2014 Design of Hydraulic transmission for a 2.8L Diesel powered turbocharged after-cooled Diesel Engine.

• Designing and analysis of Hydraulic circuit for an off-road vehicle weighing 14.6 Ton.

• Traction, Load calculations using different pavements i.e. Sand, Asphalt and Unpaved for with and without gradient (co-efficient of Rolling resistance).

• Comparative analysis of Tractive Effort Vs Vehicle speed for selecting the hydraulic actuators.

• Preparation for Design, Verification, Plan and Report (DVP&R) charts using RCM++, and created DFMEA for sake of risk assessment.

Designed and developed an air-cooled radiator (heat exchanger) for a Special Purpose Vehicle with hydro static transmission system. (Research Paper ISSN 0976 – 6340) R&D operations.

• Efficient cooling in space & weight constraints was a major challenge with extreme environmental conditions.

• Scheduled and implemented 7 Step problem solving process in each step using 5 WHY’s.

• Performed thermal analysis on radiator design using ANSYS FLUENT and compared the results with thermal camera and sensor integrated results. Achieved results with LMTD method and e-NTU method analytically. Studied different materials for optimized heat transfer and weight reduction.

• Created Design layout for the radiator assembly using CATIA V5 parametric modeling and AutoCAD for hydraulic piping.

• DFMEA for the assembly achieved lower Risk Priority Number(RPN) and provide solutions for all design problems that are anticipated prior to manufacturing.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

Design of affordable Neonatal Incubator

• Performed thermal analysis for using low cost heat source for controlling temperature and humidity in a closed space incubator.

• Conducted competitor analysis to optimize design and reduce production costs by $87.12 (11.5%). Design & fabrication of orthopedic implant for Additive Manufacturing.

• Modeled orthopedic Implants in SolidWorks & use it to print a 3D model using materials like titanium for Electron Beam Melting (EBM). Thus, avoiding CNC machining and reduced subtractive process.

• Studied the Additive Manufacturing and various methods to achieve durability and machined finish in printing. Prepared model for testing functionality and surface finish.

• Introducing cavities to reduce weight by 13.8% without affecting the strength of the assembly.
