Mechanical Design Engineer, A.D. Engineers May 2018 – Nov 2018

• Developed fixture for 3 major components-bearing housing; cover; cone in Centrifuge manufacturing by leveraging 3-2-1 principle, 42% reduction in manual efforts and 6% reduction in manufacturing cycle time.

• Worked on phases of design and product development by sketching, prototyping, and testing to ensure the fixtures exceed requirements before being placed into production facilities.

• Prepared CAD model of fixtures in SolidWorks and presented a 2D drawing of it using GD&T standards.

• Selected suitable material and fabrication technique, provided Bill of Material (BOM) for the fixtures.

• Worked on arc welding, roll bending, gas cutting & various machining process for Centrifuge production.

• Examined the performance of the Centrifuge for quality assurance and revised the engineering drawings for the Centrifuge assembly. Production Manager, G-Chem Industry Dec 2017 – Apr 2018

• Managed the inventory control by providing analysis of inventory adjustment or revisions, coordinated random inventory cycle counts, maintained records of inventory, and orders for accurate invoicing.

• Inspected and signed for all incoming shipments, prepared outgoing shipments, arranged transportation for products, and communicate with vendors.

• Supervised the production line of Solvent (Thinner) with retaining the quality of standards. Research Experience

• Performing Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation on biological tissue and visualizing the result of flow pattern & mass flow rate of the miscible fluids.

• Creating 3d geometry in SolidWorks & mesh model for tissue and implementing appropriate inlet and outlet boundary conditions.

• Assigning porous media region and species transport model for CFD experiment to measure the resistant flow and dissolving fluid in the tissue. Project Experience

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on a Table Frame

• Revamped a Table Frame to optimize for resisting more applied load in real life scenarios.

• Created CAD model of Table Frame in CREO, performed stress and deformation analysis in Ansys, examined the effectiveness of a designs and made appropriate changes from the analysis result.

• Scaled down maximum deformation by 91%, equivalent stress by 67% and 8% of total weight. Hydraulic Sheet Metal Cutter

• Converted Sheet Metal Cutter in hydraulic sheet metal cutter to obtain high sheet metal penetration in addition with the smooth motion of actuator.

• Fabricated modular hydraulic power pack system by taking advantages of hydraulic circuit diagram.

• Achieved 2.5 times more sheet metal penetration and reduced 19% fabrication cost by using modular hydraulic assembly. Effect of Groove Angle on MIG Welded Plate

• Conducted fifty-four tensile strength tests on the MIG welded plate to determine the optimal groove angle.

• Implemented Design of Experiments (DOE) approach to evaluate the test results according to various input parameters of MIG welding such as voltage, travel speed & groove angle.

• Summarized the DOE values and concluded that the 60 deg groove angle provides an average of 7% greater tensile strength. Statistical Analysis on Total Flight Arrival & Departure

• Performed analysis on flight data for arrival and departure to evaluate the stability of data.

• Collected one hundred data at a frequency of twenty-four hours, created equations in Excel for various statistical methods such as X-bar, R-bar, Cusum & EWMA, generated suitable control charts.
