SBM Offshore USA Inc., Houston TX 5/2012 – Present Engineer, Mechanical Design
Designed and developed mechanical equipment for offshore and subsea applications using 3D CAD and FEA. Conducted design review. Compiled technical reports for regulatory authorities, while drafting manufacturing drawings and formulating specifications for procuring the equipment. Performed package engineering, bid evaluation and vendor management for procurement of equipment and services. Resolved conflicts within set time and budget by managing supplier and verifying supplied calculation reports and drawings. Supervised equipment testing to ascertain compliance with applicable standards. EPC Projects:
Centralizing Equipment for installation by diver:
Explored multiple concepts of adjustable mechanisms for installation in limited space around platform support.
Designed a low weight welded Aluminum equipment using 3D CAD (SolidWorks) and FEA for design validation.
Collaborated with Client and Installation Contractor to perform HAZID and DFMA analysis to optimize the design.
Integrated System for stabilizing and centralizing heavy equipment in subsea environment:
Researched multiple mechanism options and developed a feasible, cost effective solution using 3D CAD for detail design (SpaceClaim) and FEA for stress analysis & design validation.
Compiled executive design report comparing the conceptual designs for installation complexity, extent of modification to existing structure, ease of use, diver safety and cost.
Collaborated with Client, Installation Contractor, and multiple Vendors to ensure acceptability of the solution.
Sourcing of components including hydraulic actuators, machined parts, power screws, sensors, epoxy & bolts.
Inflatable Sealing System to seal against sea water:
Designed the sealing arrangement & performed package engineering, ensuring timely delivery of all components.
Improved the pneumatic control system logic through HAZID and FMEA of the sealing system.
Optimized the elastomeric seal profile using FEA (Abaqus) to improve sealing effectiveness of the arrangement. P a g e 2 2
Root cause analysis for failure of heavy chain accessories:
Implemented RCA of failed chain clump weight & shackle nut. Used FEA (Abaqus) to simulate impact with seabed.
Designed an improved clump weight arrangement for installation by remotely operated vehicle (RoV).
Thermal FEA for fluid swivel units: Determined heat dissipation across the swivel wall, ensuring surface temperatures are within threshold values. Included thermal radiation effects in the FEA (Ansys). Research and Development Projects:
DeepDraft® Semi-submersible Unit: Optimized the design of In-Line chain connector (ILMC), reducing weight by 12%.
Seawater Intake Riser (Achieved higher technology readiness level):
Designed and validated the integration arrangement for 700 m long riser, supported from floating vessel.
Optimized pulling head shape for the riser using 3D modelling (SolidWorks). AGCO Corporation, Jackson MN 1/2009 – 5/2012
Design Engineer
Evaluated mechanical components used on heavy-duty tractors and sprayers for strength and functional performance. Extensively used FEA to improve several systems and components of high-horsepower farm equipment. Key Projects:
ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) optimization for high horse power tractors and sprayers:
Initiated FEA program for optimization of ROPS while satisfying OECD & ISO requirements for operator safety.
Piloted elasto-plastic FEA of ROPS (Ansys) and achieved 95% accuracy of simulation vs actual test.
Formulated optimization and standardized activities for ROPS structure across tractor and cabin configurations.
Chassis for tractor and sprayers: Assessed the designs with FEA (Ansys), provided direction for weight reduction.
Steering Arm design optimization: Evaluated steering arm design for weight optimization and standardization (PTC Creo).
Spreader Bar lifting aid: Utilized 3D modelling & tolerance analysis (PTC Creo) for design of lifting aid for tanks and boom assembly.
Exhaust system support, Fenders and Boom actuation mechanism: Implemented modal analysis determining appropriate stiffening to the exhaust system supports and fenders of the tractors. FEA for boom actuation mechanism. GE Energy, Houston, TX 10/2008 – 1/2009
Mechanical Engineer
