WORK EXPERIENCE
Design Engineer
Data Patterns (India) Ltd.
10/2021 - Present, Chennai
Led complete life cycle design of aerospace and defense products delivering structural enclosures, thermal management solutions and mechanical interfaces compliant with airborne, Marine and Ground platform requirements.
Expertise in designing electromechanical enclosures for RF, digital, power supply, and motherboard PCBs (EMN/EMP creation) in compliance with VITA and IEEE standards. Led the design of Rugged RME products ensuring compliance with EMI/EMC shielding requirements and IP-rated protection standards.
Participated in customer design reviews to verify compliance with technical requirements and specifications.
Strong background in thermal management system design and testing for airborne products, including Air Cycle Machine (ACM), heat exchangers, pumps, accumulators, cold plates, and manifolds.
Applied thermal and structural FEA techniques to assess, validate, and optimize the integrity of critical mechanical systems subjected to various flight loading conditions. Performed DFMA analysis at the concept design stage to optimize manufacturability and assembly, reducing rework and overall manufacturing lead time. Working knowledge of material and surface finish selection based on functional, environmental, and manufacturing requirements, ensuring compliance with ASTM, IS, and MIL standards. Managed and maintained comprehensive engineering documentation, including design documents, analysis reports, Mechanical assembly instructions, and Bills of Materials (BOMs). PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
Data Patterns (India) Ltd.
Designed and developed an externally mounted aircraft EW system, optimizing aerodynamic integration to minimize drag while ensuring reliable electronics cooling through a ram-air-based ECS mechanism across various flight operating conditions. Designed and developed a 1-ATR system in compliance with ARINC 404, incorporating forced- convection cooling, EMI/EMC shielding, and IP-rated protection, while ensuring structural reliability against aircraft vibration and shock through optimized isolation mounts. Designed and developed a radar subsystem for marine applications, integrating cold plates for efficient electronics cooling. Optimized chassis design using aluminum channels and extrusions to ensure structural integrity while reducing weight. Designed and developed rack-mountable subsystems across multiple U-sizes and user consoles, ensuring compliance with human ergonomics standards for optimal operator usability. Designed and developed 3U and 6U conduction-cooled cassettes in compliance with VITA standards.
