Seeking an internship and Full time for Automotive engineering position to where I can utilize my engineering knowledge and problem solving skills to benefit a prospective employer. EDUCATION:

Masters of Science in Automotive Engineering Expected, Dec2017 Lawrence Technological University. Southfield, MI

GPA: 3.15

Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering Graduated,July2014 SRSIT College of Engineering Bangalore, India

GPA: 3.30

KEY SKILLS:

CATIA V5, PROE, GD&T, SOLID EDGE, ANSYS, AUTO CAD and MICROSOFT WORD AND EXCEL Work Experience:

Manufacturing Intern, SUN TECHPRO ENGINEERING PVT LTD. Jan2014-April2014

• Worked in a multi-functional team working on Precision Components. Bangalore, India

• Coordinated closely with manufacturing and process development teams to study the process of making Precision Components.

• Supported manufacturing activities within the plant .

• Assessed Overall Equipment Efficiency within the plant to identify working, idle times .

• Made a successful proposal for process improvement after efficiency assessment. Project Work:

• Design and Fabrication of Pneumatic Press System: Feb2014-June2014 My role is to design the C- chamber using CATIA V5 mechanical design software and also I designed a piston which is used to push the rod to get the required shape of sheet metal (Example “L” AND “U” Shape) Using Air compressor.

• Senior Design Project, SUN TECHPRO ENGINEERING PVT LTD. June 2013-Dec2013 Optimization of thickness grinding process for tool inserts. Worked on Stahli DLM 705 using AutoCAD to design and build equipment. This equipment reduced the overall process time from 878 seconds to 612 seconds i.e. increase in production rate. Worked on concepts, analyzed data and develop methods/process, accounted to Sr. Engineering Manager. Academic Projects:

• Automobile Suspension System: Jan2017-March2017

This is my latest term project, I Successfully Completed this project in December 2016, This Project mainly study about working principle of Suspension system in different situation like Bump and cornering situation, types of different suspension design used and its working principles (Example: Leaf spring, MacPherson Strut, Double Wishbone Suspension System.

• Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition In IC Engine(HCCI): Jan2016-May2016 It is a form of internal combustion in which well-mixed fuel and oxidizer (typically air) are compressed to the point of auto- ignition. As in other forms of combustion, this exothermic reaction releases energy that can be transformed in an engine into work and heat. And the engine increase in fuel efficiency and this engine Can also be operated at higher compression ratios.

• Hybrid Powertrain Vehicle Using Fuel Cells: Jan2016-May2016 The goal is to determine the fuel-cell system size, together with the energy storage system (ESS) size, which leads to the lowest hydrogen consumption. Batteries and supercapacitors are considered as ESSs. The power management strategy is a global optimization algorithm respecting charge sustaining of the ESS. The impacts of the driving cycle (urban, outer urban, and highway), ESS technology, and vehicle constraints on hydrogen consumption are analyzed in detail in this project.

• Study and Analysis of a Truck chassis: Aug2016-Dec2016 In this project an effort is made to review the investigations that have been made on the analysis techniques of automobile frames. That analysis is fatigue analysis. This analysis is helps to identify where the fatigue is taking place and how its takes place with fatigue life prediction.

• Vehicle Dynamics Course Project Aug2016-Dec2016

Steady State Cornering Performance of a Vehicle

Performance Evaluation using Solver in Excel for the vehicle for lateral acce leration ranging from 0.1g-0.5g. Plotted Slip angle, Vehicle roll angle and calculated Understeer Gradient to between 0.15deg/g-0.38deg/g. As a final goal determined the under steer gradient as a function of lateral acceleration.
