Engineering Design: Design and development of aircraft structure (fuselage etc.), interior (monuments, galleys etc.) and systems (mechanical, electrical, hydraulic etc.) according to customer and product requirements.

Design of automobile components, press tool, & fixture as per client’s requirements

CAD: Product design using CATIA V5 various modules (Part design, GSD, sheet metal, assembly, DMU, drafting, & FTA)

PLM: Managed files during their creation and modification stages of engineering Design, using Enovia LCA & SmarTeam.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Enhanced CAD customization applications performance by 10% over one year by implementing the innovative solution to use the system variable & Information file (text file with data which required executing the application) which allow application behavior to be modified without altering its source code. This is especially valuable in a production environment, where changes to source code may necessitate code reviews, unit tests, user acceptance test, deployment, documentation and other procedures to qualify it for use in a production environment.

Improved project performance by 25% over one year by implementing the innovative automation for the ECS duct design and standardizing the duct design method

Succeeded to make on time deliveries by 100% with zero defects & enhanced project profit margin

Projects Handled

Torque management application for assembly line mechanics to look up required Torque Values quickly and correctly for fasteners on assembly joints. It delivers correct Torque Values at point-of-use, thus reducing time for manual look-up and human errors

Created application to automate the design generation process of the Blanking Tools. It provides an interface for the user to create standard template with CATIA V5 design solid from CATIA V4 flat pattern models/ CATIA V5 solid models. It also provide interface to orientate the V5 solids to the machine axis, and provide machining operations for holes, cutouts, profiles, barcode pocket and scribes for the blanking tools (Punch, Die)

Built an automation application to handle the drawing generation process for the tooling department. It provides flexibility to the user to create the required drawing border from the available programs, groups, types & sizes

Built an alternative interface to view & modify tool change manufacturing operation settings. User could view and modify the manufacturing operation settings of a tool easily.

Generated quality control and standard manufacturing CATProcess check application. This application validates the CATProcess size, CATProcess file name length, folder size, CATParts/CATProducts need update, constraints need update, & tool path status etc. It displays the result with pass/fail & log the error report with fail entity.

Programmed application to configure the CATIA V5 version/environment into the user machine. It offer user to set selected CATIA V5 version from the available CATIA versions & configure the CATSettings/environments on the user machine
