PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Production Engineer I Nilkamal Fasteners I (Screws, bolts, nuts, rivets, washers) May 2013 to July 2014

Supervised manufacturing operations and updated standard operating procedure in collaboration with operators

Improved manufacturing processes by data analysis using rational sampling, SPC statistical process control, scatter diagram and fishbone cause and effect diagram

Performed time studies for optimal performance and safety by implementing lean principles - Genba and Kaizen

Managed inventory and updated the facility layout using 5S and reduced the delivery time by 20% ENGINEERING PROJECT EXPERIENCE I Michigan Tech

Matrix CNG Fuel Tank I Sponsored by Southwestern Energy I Working with REL Inc. Engineers Objective: Determine the impact durability of the newly designed non cylindrical CNG tanks for automobiles by edge and corner impact analysis as per the NGV2 standards

Selected optimum mesh element and size by using mesh convergence study in order to reduce the solver time

Simulated nonlinear edge and corner impacts on the CNG tank using LS-DYNA

Simulated nonlinear impact analysis of tank and chassis assembly, to evaluate their crashworthiness

Validated test results by comparing the results from LS-DYNA with other FEA solvers and physical drop tests
