WORK EXPERIENCE

Graduate Research Associate The University of Texas at Dallas January 2015-May 2015

Researched papers and reviewed various methods to optimize and implement state of the art energy harvesting techniques, using human motion.

Performed experiments using Bob-Cat Analyzer for the multi-modal analysis of the electro-magnetic and piezoelectric energy harvesting device.

Design Engineer Harsha Engineers Ltd. June 2013-August 2014

Used CREO and CATIA to design compound die for stamping operations for Bearing Cages, carried out Dimensional Variation Analysis, Tolerance Loop Analysis to conform limit and tolerances in the design.

Performed Static and Fatigue stress analysis on Compound die components and checked for nonconformities using ANSYS. Also, performed Forming Analysis on sheet metal in HyperWorks to ensure all customer requirements are adhered while manufacturing processes.

Reduced thickness error, evaluated prefeasibility of the product and determined the tolerance limit for the tools by data gathering, hand calculations and statistical analysis using MiniTab.

Worked proactively with cross-functional team for new product development, rework manufacturing processes and to explore design challenges to achieve the goals of manufacturing excellence.

Prioritized tasks to troubleshoot manufacturing issues and assigned resources against schedule demands and priority, also coordinated with customers to ensure timely delivery and precision quality products.

Part of internal audits team; carried regular assessments, reviews, lead continuous improvement projects to achieve

“TPM Excellence” and “Zero Accident Environment” and retraining programs to reaffirm quality focus. Design Intern KHS Machinery Ltd December 2012-June 2013

Designed frames for various type of Innopack Kisters line of Packing System using Pro-E.

Developed optimized frame for shrink packer SP 1000 to save space when utilizing the machine.

Conducted Fatigue and Structural Analysis and studied material non-linearity in ANSYS.

Achieved material optimization and cost reduction through CAE Analysis and Statistical Analysis. Manufacturing Intern Bosch Rexroth Ltd July 2012-November 2012

Used AutoCAD to design the assembly tool for correct placement of Lip Seal onto the spool of SX14 control valve.

Operated CNC machine using G-Codes an M-Codes to manufacture the tool.

Helped increase the speed of assembly line by 45% ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Reliability based Design Optimization of

Helical Spring

Reliability Based Design January 2016- May 2016

Designed Helical Spring using SolidWorks and carried out structural analysis and modal analysis to understand various design parameters and its effect on the boundary condition. Used Matlab for functional approximation to find statistical equation of the natural frequency with varying data distribution of design parameters. Lastly, Monte-Carlo Simulation and HL-RF Method was used to find the reliability and optimization of the helical spring. Overall Health Monitoring System(OHMS) Systems Engineering January 2015-April 2015 Utilized various concepts of system engineering-design and practices, to design a real-time overall health monitoring system providing continuous update. This includes conducting Failure Analysis, Risk Analysis, Verification & Traceability Matric, and System Engineering Management Plan.
