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
