EXPERIENCE

Manufacturing Engineer Co-op July 2024 - Jan 2025

Advanced Material Handling - Semiconductor Manufacturing, Entegris Chaska, Minneapolis

• Led ramp-readiness by optimizing machining resource utilization through dual qualification, and CM01 based level loading, minimizing overcapacity risks and saving $180K annually within 4 months.

• Utilized multi-spindle Y-axis MAZAK CNC to consolidate 3 operations into 1, improved lead time, enhanced dimensional accuracy, reduced part handling, achieved an 18% reduction in cycle time, and increased OEE.

• Designed a inspection fixture in SolidWorks to replace block gauges for valve depth measurement, applying GD&T and validated through Gage R&R and enhancing product quality by reducing inspection scratches by 20%.

• Enhanced deburring process by integrating 3D section views, defined tool specifications, and contamination controls in SOP. Led PFMEA to address sealing and surface finish risks, reducing scrap by 24% and saving $72K annually.

• Performed MOST analysis, to identify motion waste and implemented 6S improvements by introducing part-holding bins and custom tool organizers, validating a 20% reduction in non-value-added time using SAP and Power BI.

• Spearheaded root cause analysis under CAPA using Sensofar 3D NEON, resolved depth-of-cut variation by replacing collets and optimizing CAM parameters, and restored surface roughness (Ra) within specification.

• Partnered cross-functionally with Procurement and MRP teams to optimize polymer sheet stock by standardizing dimensions and enforcing size limits, resolved material handling issues and achieved 95% material yield.

Manufacturing Systems Engineer - PLM July 2021 - July 2023 GE Vernova, Tata Consultancy Services Chennai, India

• Contributed to NPD by redesigning oil ports and integrating an oil changer for the gearbox, conducted DFMEA to mitigate risks, reduced maintenance time by 50%, improved serviceability, and implemented updates in PLM.

• Led Engineering Change Management (ECM) processes by coordinating drawing verifications, part updates, and compliance checks, ensuring timely and accurate implementation of service part changes.

• Defined and maintained item relationships, supersession logic, and part replacement rules in Enovia PLM, ensuring variant-specific compliance, and seamless ERP integration with minimal disruption.

PROJECTS

Built a 3D-printed payload enclosure, soldered and insulated sensor wiring, and integrated structural supports to ensure reliable data capture and survivability at 82,000 ft during a NASA-funded high-altitude balloon mission.

Fabricated PN diodes and MEMS devices on silicon wafers in a Class 1000 cleanroom using photolithography, sputtering, and DRIE, ensuring process precision and device reliability through SEM, 4-point probe, and filmetrics analysis.

Engineered a corrosion-resistant Al, Cu, Zr composite brake system by conducting ANSYS FEA simulations and validating performance through experimental material testing.

Led a team in developing an IoT-based industrial oven monitoring system by integrating Arduino with thermocouple sensors and cloud analytics (ThingSpeak), using MATLAB-based SPC to reduce temperature variation by 15%.
