Work Experience:
Manufacturing Engineer (CNC) at Valtec Industries, Dharwad, INDIA Aug 2013 – July 2014
Inspected & updated CNC-Fanuc program codes daily, as changing machining & specimen requirements.
Worked on Catia V5 and Ansys to perform CAE analysis to justify GD&T units used while machining.
Troubleshooting interdisciplinary problems between design and manufacturing departments.
Coded CNC (fanuc) codes for valve body machining processes like lapping, drilling, tapping, boring.
Interpreted warranty data and used SPC to increase reliability of manufactured industrial valves.
Maintained inventory of parts in WIP, finished goods and MRP as per design specifications from clients.
Enhanced the quality of machined products by implementation of standard machining techniques to achieve accuracy in spindle speed, depth of cut, coolant supply, and Tool bit angle.
Academic Projects:
Six Sigma and Quality Control Project, on McDonalds French fries Feb 2015
Performed detailed data collection of French fries in terms of length in each lot sold.
Implemented process capability techniques and Gage R&R analysis to decide acceptance criteria.
Utilized Minitab and Excel to report the acceptance of fries and variability data.
Design of Experiment Project on topic Analysis of factors affecting Lap timings of a bicycle. Nov 2014
Selected response variable as Lap timings and 3 parameters seat height, Tire pressure, riding position to access the response variable.
Two levels of each factor and 3 replicates to run 23 factorial design i.e. 24 runs was chosen.
Data collection of parameters and response (lap timings in sec) recorded with accuracy of 1/10th of sec.
Minitab and Excel software used to compute ANOVA to know contribution of factors on lap time.
Human factors and Ergonomics Project on Evaluation of Ergonomics tool: KIM (key indicator method) for LHC (lifting, holding, carrying) and PP (pushing, pulling) at USPS, LA Mar 2015
Benchmarking KIM tool with standard ergonomics evaluation tools with NIOSH lifting equation, RULA, REBA, MAC tool (Manual handling assessment chart), QEC (Quick exposure check).
Identification of key indicators at USPS warehouse like Time rating, load, body posture, work condition.
Determined time rating for holding, carrying, displacement tasks and rating points for load and posture.
Utilized Biopac student lab 4.0 and Jack Simulation (Siemens) to record fatigue level on vital muscles.
On the data collected the score was 14 indicating restricted movement and strong bending body posture.
Suggested to use KIM tool as complimentary to MAC to reduce MSD’s in material handling at USPS.
Vehicle Packaging Project on QFD (Quality Function Deployment) analysis on customer needs and benchmarking on development of driver side door trim panel of Honda Accord (08). Sept 2015
Selected driver door trim components on guidelines of Kano model (basic needs & expectations).
Designed packaging of component location based on dimensions defined in SAE J1100 and FMVSS.
Collected customer needs data by observing, communicating with users and experimenting.
Created importance rating and house of quality to benchmark with VW Jetta (08), Ford Taurus (09).
Created report which helps design team with all the aspects to take decisions in product development.
NVH in Vehicles Project on Parametric study on Automotive Hood structure using ANSYS. April `15
Designed geometry of automotive hood using Catia V5 and imported to CAD geometry tool in ANSYS.
Used accelerometer to induce force and Data analysis of by LMS Test.Lab (Siemens).
Performed Modal analysis in Ansys 16.0 with mode count 30 and frequency range 1 to 1000 HZ.
Recorded observations interpreting Digital Signal Processes to conclude that frequency of particular mode is higher for the part of higher thickness.
Mechanically Operated Pesticide Sprayer, [VTU, Belgaum] JAN 2013 – JUNE 2013
Designed and fabricated frame for multipurpose, affordable “Manually operated pesticide sprayer”.
Utilized Catia V5, AutoCAD and Ansys for design and analysis of stable frame with 22 gage steel.
