Test Engineer Co-op, SixDOF Testing and Analysis, Milford, OH August 2016-Present

Characterized a structure's dynamic behavior for NVH product specification solution/validation using NVH analyses.

Provided support to machine test plan by using standard procedure and propose updated methodology.

Maintained user guide and standards to put all methods in reach to any members of the NVH team through.

Worked with client’s product engineering division associates to debug test equipment and resolve test system concerns.

Gained strong organizational, analytical skills and ability to multitask on a variety of projects Intern, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, Manesar Plant, India January 2015-June 2015

Performed NVH testing on individual components such as disc brakes, brake calipers for a new model ‘YRA’ .

Collected data using LMS Test Lab, provided test support and maintained databases of time-history data.

Proposed optimized solutions to avoid booming noise at tailgate position of the vehicle. Intern, Automotive Mahindra Service Centre, Visakhapatnam, India. October 2014-December 2014

Observed closely the procedure followed to service a vehicle to satisfy the customer.

Functioning of various parts, for example, engine, belt, radiator, toeing machine were studied. Projects:

Operational, vibration and strain measurement analysis on large diesel generator sets August 2016–Present o Performed data acquisition through multiple testing methods along with ISO 8528-9 test. o Processed data through multiple analysis software packages to produce technical reports. o Performed product validation and comparison with finite element analysis result.

Modal analysis on large diesel generator sets, electric bus August 2016-Present o Conducted 100 impact locations modal testing utilizing multiple point impact testing method. o Identified critical mode shapes which affect the structure’s behavior. o Correlated mode shapes with order track and operating deformation shape results.

Modal analysis on aluminum plates, Experimental Vibrations (course), Prof. R. Allemang August 2015–April 2016 o Performed modal testing on rectangular and circular plates utilizing hammer testing and shaker testing respectively. o Obtained reliable Modal Parameter Estimations by studying Frequency Response Functions (FRFs), Coherences with different input excitations.
