Mechanical Design Engineer – CFR Engines INC - Peewaukee, WI 07/2019 to Current CFR ENGINES INC – Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

● Design engineer in a Knock Engine (Octane and Cetane) team. Responsible for Product designing including conceptual designing to manufacturing and field support. Design includes complex 3D models, castings and sheet metal designs.

● Responsible for designing all the parts and assemblies on PTC CREO 7.0 and maintaining record for each part via PLM (Windchill)and ERP (Epicor) database.

● Converted 2D drawings into 3D models to build a full proof Windchill database.

● Responsible for keeping all the assemblies, fabrication drawings, ECO’s, and revisions updated in PLM and ERP databases including all BOM’s.

● Responsible for Mechanical design analysis of the assemblies and parts to drive the product from prototype phase to manufacturing and product launch.

● Responsible for setting up weekly meetings, monitoring project status, design reviews, acceptance meetings and delivering the target every week.

● Responsible for building the 3D models and prints for the official company instruction manuals. Mechanical Design Engineer - HUSCO International INC – Waukesha, Wisconsin 01/2018 to 06/2019

● Maintain Design Control of Assigned Application(s) - Understand form, fit, and function of product and all components thereof.

● Analyze cost effectiveness and feasibility. Leverage appropriate engineering tools (analysis, hardware, GD&T etc.) to support design, test, build, troubleshooting and continuous improvement activities.

● Maintain prints, specifications, and documents to communicate function, form, and fit of assigned product and components.

● Responsible for creating complete, organized and detailed print packages, updating the revisions on design changes and releasing the parts.

Mechanical Design and Simulation Engineer – Quad Tech, Sussex, WI 08/2016 to 12/2017

● Designed and optimized mechanical components for Inspection Systems (printing industry).

● Performed flow simulation to reduce the prototype costs helping in speeding up the production process. PTC CREO and ANSYS- FLUENT were utilized for 3D modeling and simulation.

● Responsible for fabrication, assembly and debug processes on print head flush systems and printing inspection modules.

● Researched customer design proposals, specifications, and manuals to evaluate the feasibility, cost, and maintenance requirements of designs.

SOLIDWORKS- Teaching Assistant – Milwaukee School of Engineering – Milwaukee, WI 06/2016 to 08/2016 Milwaukee School of Engineering – Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

● Worked directly under the HOD of Master’s at Milwaukee School of Engineering.

● As a TA conducted classes for 25 students, helping them with basics and in- depth knowledge of 3D modeling on Solidworks.

● Developed communication documentation and presentations to help convey key design aspects to the students. CERTIFICATIONS

● Verified Certificate of Achievement- Sibley School of Aerospace Engineering, Cornell University

● Certification: "A Hands- on Introduction in Engineering Simulations".

● Course work included: Static Structural and Fluid flow simulations on F1 engine exhaust and wind turbines. PROJECTS

1. Knock Engine- Electrical Panels (Octane and Cetane)

● Created a 3D Model of Electrical Cabinet that controls and communicates with the Knock Engines. Studied and understood the application of the product and improvised the model to communicate it via 3D Modeling.

● Created all the 2D fabrication drawings related to this product. Worked on precision GD&T, maintained Bill of Materials, for quoting the product and helped in production. Further responsible to handle any design changes or upgrades connected with this project in the future.

● Maintained different workspaces for these projects and updated the PLM/ERP systems on a daily basis and communicated the design changes across cross functional groups. Responsible for the whole designing database and CAD Modeling of parts used on updated CFR Engines. 2. Designing and Modifying of Assembly Lines for Electro-Hydraulic Valves - Automotive:

● Modified, designed and developed the existing assembly line to manufacture a new range of the Oil control valves. Created and maintained documentation packages involving parts, 3D drawings, Step/DXF files and Bill of materials.

● Designed and developed a new vacuum station for an assembly line to clean the debris from the pallet carrying the valves from start to end of an assembly line cycle. Designed fixtures, tooling and sheet metal parts for various automated stations on the assembly line.

● Designed a feed in/ feed out stations with customized conveyors. Added Yamaha and Epson robots to perform automated processes for manufacturing and testing of a wide range of automotive valves. Also developed concepts to operate on parts in an assembly line using air slides, air cylinders, rotary actuators, linear actuators, gripper, end effectors etc.

3. CFD - Fluent and SOLIDWORKS- RECUPERATORS:

● As a part of my thesis I was involved in research on RECUPERATORS used in aluminum melting furnaces.

● A RECUPERATOR (heat exchanger) was designed and flow simulation was performed for improvements in the efficiency of design. Efficiency was improved from 65% to 78% with design modifications.

● SOLIDWORKS was used to create the 3D model. Computational Fluid Dynamics was used to perform flow simulation on RECUPERATOR (ANSYS - Fluent) with different flow velocities.

● Maintained data records and calculations and presented them as a final project for my Masters Graduation. 4. Stabilizer - Printing industry:

● Redesigned and improvised a Stabilizer to stabilize the web while printing at high speeds, inspect the printing quality and color concentration. Efficiency and Cost reduction were the main challenges.

● A high velocity air beam was used to achieve the required pressure drop (vacuum), which provided stabilization of the web. Vacuum generation was increased by 20% with a new design implementation.

● Multiple fluid flow simulations performed on the model which saved both time and cost of prototypes.

● PTC CREO was used for 3D Modeling and ANSYS- FLUENT was used to perform flow simulation. EDUCATION
