SUMMARY:

* Mechanical engineer (Bachelor's and Master's) with 6+ years of hands on experience in manufacturing processes, continuous improvement and project management of electro-mechanical products.

* Executed design-to-production transfer through stage-gate phases (EVT, DVT, PVT and ramp) for a successful product launch and drove reduced cost and improved quality metrics.

* A lead for a global cross-functional mechanical product development team (design/engineering, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers).

* Familiarity with Project Management, Six-Sigma / Lean Tools, Problem Solving Techniques (8D), Statistical Analysis Techniques (JMP), CAD tools (Beginner in Pro Engineer Creo), Statistical Process Control (SPC), Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) and Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP).

* Experienced in experimental analysis of mechanical properties of materials. WORK EXPERIENCE:

Staff Product Development Engineer,

Mechanical R&D (Integration), Seagate Technology, Bloomington, MN Apr. 13 – Present

* Leading mechanical development of Head-Gimbal-Assembly (HGA) for next generation electro-mechanical technologies (hard-disk drives).

* Executing on development deliverables through data analysis, management of Critical-To-Quality (CTQs) metrics, and application of Six Sigma tools such as Design Of Experiments (DOEs), DFM and FMEA.

* Integrating sub-components to ensure completion of operations deliverables while meeting process yields and capacity [Saved about $5M with design improvement and integration work].

* Managing design specifications, road-maps, project timelines, design verification test (DVT) protocols, demand- supply (budget) analysis and manufacturing drawings for New Product Introduction (NPI).

* Collaborating closely with teams from far-east sites (Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia), vendors, and internal customers to identify new process / technology development, and component / prototype test procedures. Sr. Product Development Engineer,

Mechanical R&D (Integration), Seagate Technology, Bloomington, MN Jan. 11 – Mar 13

* Successfully launched fastest disk drive [15K RPM, 2.5" form factor] in market at that time.

* Led mechanical integration and managed the Head Media Spacing (HMS) from a system level.

* Supported and documented the Head-Gimbal-Assembly (HGA) mechanical design specifications, and thermo- mechanical design migration plans.

* Managed component/drive experiments, prototype/pre-production build performance, and effectively communicated key findings.

* Conducted failure analysis (FA) activities by working with cross-functional teams to narrow down root cause and to come up with corrective actions.

* Worked with cross-functional engineers from far-east sites (Thailand, Malaysia, China), suppliers, and internal customers for phase builds of new products.

Teaching Assistant,

Temple University, Philadelphia, PA Aug. 09 – Dec. 10

* Assisted professors in teaching and mentoring undergraduate students of mechanical engineering. Conducted laboratory sessions as needed.

Product Development Engineer,

Mechanical R&D (Integration), Seagate Technology, Bloomington, MN Oct. 07 – Mar. 09

* Successfully led, planned, and executed the design validation of the Head-Gimbal-Assembly (HGA, an electro- mechanical assembly for hard-disk drives) to meet specified delivery schedule and performance requirements.

* Analyzed data for performance validation/comparison to close the performance gap between model vs. actual, and instructed manufacturing/test technicians on builds/evaluations. JITENDRA BAMBHAROLIYA

* Created product validation and qualification plans, Engineering Change Order/Notice (ECO/ECN), Test Specification Reports (TSRs), Process Control Plan (PCP). Graduate Research Assistant,

School of MAE, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK Nov. 05 – Sept. 07

* Evaluated mechanical robustness of the coating material used in implantable class III medical devices for FDA compliance/approval.

* Mechanically characterized several polymers (Si-polyurethane, Polyimide and PTFE) and composites in specified environmental conditions using Instron and MTS type of Universal Test Machine for selecting the most durable material for a medical device.

* Designed and manufactured special test set-up and specimens for the mechanical characterization using standardized test procedures as recommended by ASTM.

* Successfully developed accelerated test protocols (simulated and accelerated testing for the service life of 10 years in a laboratory environment) to determine the mechanical behavior of polymers and fiber reinforced polymer composites.
