Fleet Systems Response Specialist, Waymo @Adecco, Michigan Jan 2020- Present

• Monitoring and identifying the data driving performance parameters of Google Self-Driving Cars and emergency response to issues as per the standard test cases and validating the changes with simulation software.

• Assisting Maintenance team with Performing Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) during Post system Testing the obtaining the CTQ parameters using various analytical tools.

• Process Mapping and staging of various on field tests to avoid the risk of failure of the system for safety concern. Academic Experience

Design and Fabrication of an Autonomous Vehicle July 2019

• Responsible for designing and modeling the chassis of an autonomous vehicle in CATIA V5 and programming Arduino Uno R3 Microcontroller to make it move, turn and sense any obstacles in front of it using an ultrasonic sensor.

• DFMEA & PFMEA for manufacturing chassis with process mapping and controlling final fabrication process. Design and Development of a Smog Consuming Machine Aug 2017

• Designed a chamber using Catia V5 and fabricated it, which sipped in the impure lethal air comprising of smog and other hazardous gases using an Electric Duct Fan.

• Used ionization process and a HEPA charcoal filter to absorb the carbon monoxide, purifying the air further by reducing the Carbon Monoxide content by 0.064%.

Suspension Tuning for a Sports and a Luxury Vehicle Dec 2018

• Obtained a graph for road profile by designing a mathematical model and simulating the suspension system for a Nissan GTR using MATLAB & SIMULINK.

• Tuned the suspension system for an aggressive sports car and a comfortable luxury car accordingly by benchmarking the parameters related to spring and damper. Analysis of Exhaust Manifold May 2020

• Improved the geometry of two exhaust manifold designs with four and two inlets each in ANSYS Design Modeler to obtain a better quality of mesh with a skewness of 0.8399 and an orthogonal quality of 0.1194.

• Calculated the pressure drop, temperature drop, heat transfer by obtaining convergence in ANSYS FLUENT for both designs at all the inlets respectively.
