oMaintained and created DFMEA, Control Plans and DVP&R’s

oLed DPAR meetings with cross functional teams to evaluate processes.

oInvolved in Design review and Change Management processes.

oResponsible for assembly quality of Engine, after treatment system, suspension and drivetrain to chassis.

oWork with Technicians to conduct tests and maintain test cell operation.

oExposure in reading GD&T, electrical and hydraulic circuit blueprints.

Aperam Stainless Services and Solutions USA. Sterling Heights, Michigan. Quality Engineer. [Jan‘15 - Sept’16]

oManufacturing processes included polishing, blanking and slitting stainless steel coils.

oMeet with customers to translate customer needs into production specifications.

oLead root cause analysis, and perform interim and permanent containment measures for customer issues.

oCo-ordinate the manufacturing and production aspects of new projects for trial runs, including APQP.

Kisan Quarry Works, Gujarat - India. [Oct’16 - July’17]

oThis is a stone quarry, mining stones for road and building construction.

oI spent 8 months applying Kaizen techniques, leading to reduced lead times, and shorter downtimes.

Kohler Engines, Kohler, WI. Manufacturing Quality Engineering Co-op. [Jan ‘12 - Aug ‘12]

oExtensively exposed to various machining operations of small displacement engine components.

oIC Engine assembly and disassembly for aiding in resolution of field issues.

oResponsible for controlling live documents on shop floor (Control Plans, Quality Alerts etc.

oWorked in Lean continuous improvement projects.

oProjects included simulating production order to optimize scheduling rules, work sampling studies, time studies, updating control plans, 5S etc.

oProficient in implementation and analysis of statistical quality control tools.

Huron Castings Inc. Pigeon, MI. Metallurgist Co-op [Aug ’12 - Nov ‘12]

oCo-ordinated mechanical and metallurgical testing of casting samples and test bars

ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

Configured multiple experiments for testing, including channel set-up, calibration, programming of test sequences, and set-up of measurement instruments for acoustic data collection. Some experiments include:

oDeducing the sound produced by a single source in the presence of background noise and other sources.

oUsing sound intensity measurements to find the location of a sound source within a hidden box.

Applications include finding the source of a sound from behind the Instrument panel of an automobile.

oDeduced the absorption coefficients of materials, by way of finding the T60 reverberation time.

oUsed mathematical formulations to calculate the sound power of a source in reverberant and free field by only measuring sound pressure level.

Conducted Modal Analysis to deduce mode shapes of a beam; and understand the response upon excitation.

oRan simulations in Ansys Workbench to compare results to those from experimental Modal Analysis.

Familiar with Order Analysis and Order tracking for understanding harmonics of rotating machines.

Built a Helmholtz resonator, in an effort to minimize acoustic radiation at any desired frequency.

oApplications include reducing noise in automotive exhaust systems etc.

CAD design and animation of a model glider plane. (PACE Engineering Design Competition)

oCAD modelling and simulation of takeoff and landing done in Unigraphics.

oMain components included fuselage, seat, wings and landing gear.

Designed and simulated an autonomous window cleaner for skyscrapers

oCAD modelled in Unigraphics.
