AUTOMOTIVE EXPERIENCE – (1.5 years)

Cummins Inc., Product Engineering Intern, United States May 2019 – Aug 2019

Established design concepts and performed design calculations thereby achieved 35% bypass pressure at wastegate

Conducted design reviews to prove capability of housing to contain wheel failures at specified speeds thereby achieving cost improvements goals

Performed regression analysis using minitab and statistical analysis tools to analyze waste gate loads on turbo chargers to save $50,000 on nozzle testing to insure product level performance requirements

Assisted CAE-team for the development of simulation methods for reverse Engineering of competitor turbine wheel

Performed stress & thermal analysis on turbine wheel using ANSYS and proposed design changes to management

Carried out strength tests and metallurgical analysis to solve ‘back face failure’ problem in turbine wheel and facilitated intelligent design decisions

Improved 3D scan quality by 9% using FARO arm technology and validated using color plot overlay comparison

Tata Technologies, Product Design Engineer – On site Tata Motors, India Dec 2017 – Apr 2018

Implemented human factors methodology in EPAS steering concept to eliminate human steering effort by 12%

Led design for manufacturing (DFM) studies to balance design specifications with manufacturing guidelines

Developed DFMEA's and generated detail CAD designs and partnered with suppliers and support system integration

Approved engineering change orders (ECO’s) to correct errors & created work instructions for line technicians

Conducted statistical analysis of Toe in-out angles to increase tire friction hence 3.2% boost in steering efficiency

Managed complete product life cycle with maintenance of technical product documentation (TPD) using PLM

Fabricated functional prototypes models to evaluate functionality, manufacturability, and serviceability of parts

Onward Technologies, Product Design Engineer - Tooling, India Jun 2017 – Dec 2017

Designed and optimized joint-designs in body-in-white for major OEM proto productions using ProEngineer

Created & modified drawings, BOMS, existing prints, and configurations of BIW fixtures using 2D and 3D CAD

Developed new joining concepts for lightweight designs and evaluated prototype design to verify functionality

Prepared engineering drawings of fixtures using GD&T and tolerance analysis to verify performance of mechanisms

Setup FMEAs, flow diagrams, part outs, SOPs and troubleshooting guides towards continuous improvement initiative

Interpreted FEA analysis of B pillar structure of vehicle to provide a more robust solution for the customer's product

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Production Planning and Control Jan 2019 – Apr 2019

Performed ABC Analysis for planning supply, and customer order fulfilment. Analysed and resolved daily supply plan mismatches to demand, produce weekly material and capacity plans. Hence reduced production floor shortages by 70% by suggesting cost effective work cell scheduling and two bin systems

Student Vehicle Project – Electric Go-kart Aug 2016 – Mar 2017

Led Project Management efforts to provide strategic direction and operational supervision to Design Steering System for a Go-Kart vehicle, dealing with Design, analysis, Manufacturing, testing. Designed and developed efficient steering system using analytical tools and CAD thereby achieved 25% increase in turning radius
