Mechanical Design Engineer, Co-op, EMPATICA July 2020 - Dec 2020

• Developed a medical wearable for patient health monitoring through collaboration with multidisciplinary team of engineers

• Applied statistical tolerance methods during design phase for mass production to estimate yield and failure in assembly, reducing failure risk to less than 1%

• Prototyped mechanical designs, including integration with electronic components and connections into highly cosmetic device using SLA 3D printing and injection molding before proceeding to mass production

• Created e-clip alternative for assembling button subassembly directly to main pod, decreasing assembly time by reducing number of parts, saving $1 per device

• Engineered efficient assembly line fixtures and adaptive tooling, using combination of custom supports, locks and clamps, resulting in easier assembly, and reducing assembly time by 30%

• Developed novel sheet metal connectors to connect on-wrist charger to watch, solving for a suboptimal user experience by providing a more intuitive integration between charger and watch

• Incorporated DFM feedback from global suppliers to ensure manufacturability of parts through injection molding and CNC machining, ensuring smooth manufacturing process

• Diagnosed assembly problems around waterproofing and button feedback during quality testing by performing root cause analysis using 5 whys along with Fishbone diagram, conserving throwaway manufacturing time, effort and cost Engineering Assistant, ENABLING ENGINEERING Oct 2019 - Apr 2020

• Led a design team for creating an adaptive guitar that can be played using only one hand for specially abled people

• Addressed client’s special needs through effective communication, analyzing constraints, and formulating design requirements

• Managed tasks efficiently with team members resulting in completion of prototype a month earlier than deadline, giving adequate time for rigorous testing before delivery

• Designed electro-mechanical system using rack and pinion gears, stepper motor, Arduino, potentiometer, enabling user to strum strings with help of foot pedal

Graduate Teaching Assistant, COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING AND DESIGN Jan 2020 - Present

• Trained 60 students in SolidWorks and for CSWA and CSWP, achieving success rate of 66.66%

• Assisted professor in publishing next edition of “Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing” textbook by creating innovative tutorials for underlying chapters, enabling students to grasp design concepts effectively

• Mentored, graded, lectured, researched, and prepared class materials for graduate students ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Capstone Project, Powertrain design of E-Vehicle, IIT Mandi Aug 2018 - Aug 2019

• Designed CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) system for E-Vehicle powertrain using BLDC motor on SolidWorks with a goal for climbing steep slopes up to 15 degrees

• Executed FEA simulations on driving and driven axle under static and dynamic loads, motion analysis of powertrain, and statistical tolerance analysis before releasing components drawing to production

• Performed DFMEA to troubleshoot issues around assembly and integration of system in existing powertrain

• Integrated manufactured CVT assembly to the E-vehicle, achieving positive results for slope of 12 degrees
