WORK EXPERIENCE

Advanced Material Intern at ABB Corporate Research centre, Raleigh, NC, USA (June 2017 - Aug 2017)

Researched intumescent material for fireproofing a Bluebox.

Developed a customized 3D printer for applying resin on a bush using LabVIEW.

Re-designed a Conduit for pipes using knowledge of stress analysis and product design as per NEC standards with the use of Solidworks and Catia. Used a 3D Printer for Rapid-Prototyping which eliminated extra time, material and cost by 72%.

Design Engineer at REMI Process Plant & Machinery Ltd, Mumbai, India (July 2014 - July 2016)

Designed Agitators using engineering & mathematical concepts as per ASME & ISO standards for processing industries.

Generated 2D/3D CAD and assembly drawings of agitators using AutoCAD & Solidworks with BOM and detail drawing.

Performed Root cause & DFMEA analysis to determine the variability in design and increased the efficiency by 20%.

Optimized and calculated the overall cost of agitator using DFX.

Performed SPC analysis on the design parameters and created uniformity in specification limits using Minitab.

Special achievement: Conducted Design of experiment (DOE) for Swivel side entry agitators.

Analyzed the inputs with engineering calculations and statistically determining the appropriate values suitable for process.

Increased the efficiency by 22% - by changing the speed of shaft & diameter - decreased the cost of manufacturing by 34%.

Manufacturing Intern at REMI Process Plant & Machinery Ltd, Mumbai, India (Feb 2011 - April 2011)

Worked on different manufacturing processes like Injection Molding, extrusion, drilling, sheet metal and die-casting.

Detailed knowledge of fabrication, machining and assembly (Fastening, adhesion, welding) functions of agitator.

Eliminated wastes and reduced variability in the manufacturing processes using Lean, 5S, Kaizen, six sigma methods and stabilized the business process by using Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC) methods on Minitab.

Generated G&M codes for CNC machining. Channelling the data through SAP.

Performed DFMEA analysis for industrial mixers and examined Quality control.

PROJECTS

Performed analysis on Extrusion of shaft using Hypermesh software by calculating Flow stress, Temperature, Pressure and Velocity for the improvement of process while attaining an increase of material flow in output nozzle.

Project Leader for designing a Screw conveyor for Martin Sprocket & Gear Inc using DFM & DFX. Performed DFMEA, GD&T, Lean and six sigma methods that optimized the performance of the conveyor by 40%. (Drawings by Solidworks)

Designed Airfoil using Additive Manufacturing technology on Polyprinter by reducing weight upto 27% using Magics.
