PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
FLUID DYNAMICS RESEARCH CENTER IIT Chicago ILLINOIS
High pressure exhaust and HVAC duct design Spring 2010
I designed a new exhaust for the high pressure wind turbine which was damaged in one of the test. I also fabricated my design in sheet metal and connected the exhaust to the HVAC duct.
IPRO IIT Chicago ILLINOIS
Automation of CNC system and deduct tool breakage Fall 2009
I found the tool breakage rate and then suggested the depth and feed rate and installed a monitor sensors to deduct the tool break and also suggested better cutting tool for better performance and longer tool life.
IPRO IIT Chicago ILLINOIS Spring 2009
Tool Cabinet Design
I made a new design to the existing model of the tool cabinet using Pro E which had not only better look and easy to handle but had more reliability and robustness.
SUNDARAM CLAYTON LTD Chennai TAMIL NADU 2005 - 2008 New Product Developer & Production Engineer
Serve as New Product Developer & Production Engineer for the Production engineering department in the R and D division of SCL. I handled the new product development project and did all the needed steps in the.
• Marked and studied customers drawings and met the customers specific requirements.
• Conducted technical reviews and weekly project reviews with customers.
• Performed process planning for new products including selection of machines design and development of fixtures tools gauges washing machine and leak test rigs.
• Handled cell formation for new products with all facilities and ensured the ramp-up production was on-time.
• Prepared project reports calculated Takt time and cycle time for all projects.
• Created assembly drawing and including bill of materials for tools fixtures and gauges using Pro E Solid Works and AutoCAD with detailed part diagrams 2D/3Dof the individual parts and also fabricated them.
• Created cells for product with the number of CNC and special purpose machines gauge checking equipment leak test machines and final assembly tables.
• Performed CNC programming and machining of the product checking for quality and reliability using gauges CMM machine and profile projectors
• Raised purchase orders and kept stock of the inventory of gauges tools tool holders and fixtures using SAP
• Completed test components of three Prototype samples (100 each) with the desired results and assembled with the other components.
• Learned and implemented lean manufacturing Kanban process in the production line.
• Prepared documentation on PPAP(Part Production and Approval Process) handover manual for production.
• I helped in the mass manufacturing of spur gear. Used Gear Hobbs and milling tools to produce it
• I have used 6 sigma and DMAIC methodology in the manufacturing line to control the number of defects.
Projects:
• Delphi TVS Governor Cover
• Lucas Bracket Front and Rear (X14)
• Visteon Epsilon Cylinder Rear and Front
ADDITIONAL PROJECT
Anna University Chennai Tamil Nadu
Reduction of Defect in Honda Oil Pan and Gear Housing
• Reduced the customer related quality problems by 15% reduction in P.S.N (Process Scrap Note) defects.
• Analyzed defects and provided solutions using Pareto Fish Bone diagram Kasian Location Matrix 3WH etc.
• Utilized collected data for quality analysis
Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago IL
• Projection of piece wise curve on Bessel s function
Using Matlab and piece wise function the line were projected onto the Bessel s function using Galerkin method.
• Study of cutting tool reliability technology in manufacturing of metal components (Manufacturing engineering)
A study done on the different types of cutting tools which are used in the manufacturing industry and their purpose of use them. Some of the tools I studies are turning boring drilling tapping hobbing shaping gear grinding.
• Reproduction of two counter rotating vortex in Fluent.
Using fluent and Gambit we created a cortex and tried to reproduce the result of what will happen when two vortex are been made to collide.
• Calculating the reliability in F1 car and failure rate on track (Reliability engineering)
Calculated the theoretical reliability of the failure of F1 car on the race track and then how to improve the reliability based
• Turbine Blade Design
Designed turbine blade using reverse engineering. Completed structure of blade using MATLAB code.
Used Pro-E to make model and used Finite Element Analysis to check for it design reliability.
