WORK EXPERIENCE

Process Engineer,

Trishe Energy, Chester, South Carolina (January 2013 – Present)

Process Engineer at an expanding used oil re-refinery

Issue, review and approve Engineering Change Notices for designs, routings, BOMs,

procedures, control plans and inventory maintenance.

Performed root cause and corrective action on process/quality issues thereby increasing

mass flow rate by 8 %

Responsible for inventory maintenance and manufacturing BOM’s. Established single portal

for effective database maintenance.

Defined and established “Best Practices” for existing front end and back end systems

resulting in process optimization and reduced TAT by 5%

Experience in conducting scientific/market research of materials and qualifying vendors .

Proposed vendor qualification standardization through ch ecklist and rating system

Studied trends of production levels and used statistical methods to increase overall

efficiency (estimated savings of approximately $15000 annually)

Worked with Senior Engineers to standardize operating procedures as per ISO 9001

Mechanical Engineering Intern – Quality Department

Beam Engineering, Chennai, India (Dec 2008 – Aug 2009)

Worked in a plant which stamps blanks for front and rear axles for OEMs

Worked with the Senior Quality Engineer to establish standardization of procedures and

created SOP’s and inspection standards for quality evaluations after stamping

Created PFMEA’s during new product launch

Worked with the pilot team to prepare PPAP reports by effectively using APQP to get part

approvals from customers

Performed Gage R & R studies for critical characteristics

Performed root cause analysis for stamping and weld processes and identified appropriate

correction actions necessary

Worked with customers to negotiate tolerance changes using SPC techniques (control

charts)

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Graduate Assistant – Microfluidics Lab

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Clemson University, SC (Aug 2010 - Jun 2011)

Worked on concept design, 3D modeling and generating detailed engineering models

Part of the design team that delivers quality results within the scheduled time
