Sr. CAD Support Engineer, Honda R&D Americas, LLC April 2018 – April 2020

Coordinate with Honda Engineering Suppliers in setting up their CAD & PLM custom environment as per Honda pre-requisites, validating the environment for its correctness and resolving issues.

Ensure proper maintenance and regular updates of CATSettings on the CATIA V5 environment for different suppliers and different departments within the organization.

Responsible for documenting CAD modifications or upgrades and communicating them to all the suppliers so that they are able to analyze the impact and make respective changes on time.

Test and validate the CAD/PLM installation for its correctness as per the pre-requisites set by the client engineering standards.

Deployment of the CATSettings and environment configurations during software upgrades or hotfix patches

Explain the technical configurations and engineering standards to be followed as per the set environment

Educate and help the engineering suppliers and designers with the client’s best practices to be followed while working with CAD(CATIA V5) & PLM(VPM Navigator)

Responsible for queries from the supplier companies on the compatibility and impact of the installation and upgrade process which requires engineering and CAD expertise to ensure the changes are documented, communicated and queries are resolved correctly.

Responsible for conversion of CAD data from Catia to Unigraphics and vice versa with the help of conversion tools such as AFSAFLIS

Responsible for checking and validating data send by designers from different department with using functions such as checkmate for validating and uploading data to Team center

Coordinate with the IS (Information System) team for the resolution of the issues reported by various supplier engineers related to infrastructure (VPN or network), Administration (Login..),Software usage errors (CATIA V5/PLM)

Responsible for resolving any data transfer issues and data migration issues, which the supplier design engineers or supplier designers face.

Senior Design Engineer, GKN Sinter Metals July 2011 – July 2015

Responsible for modeling, drafting and reviewing customer product drawings using 3D CAD & PLM software

Evaluated the weight and volume of the product by optimizing compaction density and metal powder density

Calculating tonnage required for various operations and choosing carbide pallet for tools and dies

Participated by leading internal design review, prelaunch, in-progress production, and post-production meetings

Successfully implemented more than 50 projects related to Automobile components such as Rod guides, Valve guides & seats, pistons, synchro-hub gears spherical and flange bushes for many customers such as Renault- Nissan, Toyota, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, TATA, and Volkswagen and also implemented VAVE projects successfully

Designed and modeled process tooling (Stamping Dies, punches, core rods, inserts), punch and die electrodes, jig and fixtures, breaking load fixtures, and created drawings of general assembly(GA) for high tonnage presses

Created wire cutting profiles and programs for punches, dies, adaptors, spacers, and gauges

Produced process drawings for production of tools such as drilling, milling, wire cutting and turning operations

Developed CAD models for gauges, adaptors, spacers, clamping plates, resting for high tonnage presses

Verified manufactured tools, adaptors, spacers, gauges as per the original design

Prepared Quality Control Plan, Process Sheet, PFMEA, BOM and DFMEA for regulating product quality

Modified existing designs and processes through ECN (Engineering Change Note) and document updation

Supported cross-functional teams in APQP, PPAP, TS16949, ISO, and OHSAS audit documentation Graduate Research Assistant, Lamar University Jan 2016 – Dec 2017

Thesis named “Preliminary investigation on generation of electricity using micro wind turbines placed behind the front bumper of the car” defended successfully November 2017

In this thesis, micro wind turbines were placed on the car in such a way that car’s motion was used to convert rotary motion of turbines to generate electric power, which then charged the battery of the car thereby reducing the weight and increase the mileage of the car

PAPERS AND PUBLICATIONS

Published a technical paper on “Preliminary investigation on generation of electricity using micro wind turbines placed on a car” available at http://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/ijred/article/view/12609 March 2017

Submitted another technical paper on “Harvesting of Wind Energy using Micro Wind Turbines on an Automobile” which is under review November 2017
