• Led an image and brand saving project of the company by carefully proffering timely solution to multiple field cracked windshield issues, by putting together a cross-functional team of manufacturing engineers, tooling designers and welders and delivered results by carrying out comprehensive root cause analysis with FMEA, etc. within the shortest possible time, saving the company more than $10M in product recall, leading to improved stakeholders’ and customers’ confidence.• Successfully… Show more • Led an image and brand saving project of the company by carefully proffering timely solution to multiple field cracked windshield issues, by putting together a cross-functional team of manufacturing engineers, tooling designers and welders and delivered results by carrying out comprehensive root cause analysis with FMEA, etc. within the shortest possible time, saving the company more than $10M in product recall, leading to improved stakeholders’ and customers’ confidence.• Successfully led a company–wide digitalization project of quality assurance using FLAGS software in two manufacturing plants. Reduced the quality inspection time by more than 50% and saving the company in multi-million dollars in labor time and improved first time quality and quality at source. This was achieved by leading seven technicians and a junior engineer.• Proactively planned and conducted process audits and test analyses to ensure that the company is compliant with relevant quality and safety requirements and improved turnaround time (TAT) of product delivery. Authored some quality policies. Show less

• Led the design and analysis (using FEA) of the battery compartment of D-45 bus model in a project to deliver over 700 buses, part of a $395M worth of contract with New Jersey Transit Bus System. • Proposed and successfully implemented a new design, using Siemen’s NX Unigraphics, for the baggage bay area of D-45 commuter and J-45 luxurious bus. This improved ease of installation and proper ergonomics leading to improved technicians’ time efficiency by about 20%.• Diligently managed… Show more • Led the design and analysis (using FEA) of the battery compartment of D-45 bus model in a project to deliver over 700 buses, part of a $395M worth of contract with New Jersey Transit Bus System. • Proposed and successfully implemented a new design, using Siemen’s NX Unigraphics, for the baggage bay area of D-45 commuter and J-45 luxurious bus. This improved ease of installation and proper ergonomics leading to improved technicians’ time efficiency by about 20%.• Diligently managed multiple First Article Inspections (FAI) projects simultaneously for new and improved design by coordinating six (6) technicians and welders, ensuring cost and schedule were well managed and performances were within relevant industry specifications.

• Designed and led highly impactful research on improving the weldability of a high temperature aerospace superalloy (IN 738) leading to about 70% reduction in post-weld cracking using a newly developed pre-weld heat treatment. Published results in reputable peer review journal and conference proceedings.• Performed In-phase thermo-mechanical fatigue research using Gleeble thermomechanical simulation machine for better prediction of failure of aerospace superalloy. Found that welded IN 738… Show more • Designed and led highly impactful research on improving the weldability of a high temperature aerospace superalloy (IN 738) leading to about 70% reduction in post-weld cracking using a newly developed pre-weld heat treatment. Published results in reputable peer review journal and conference proceedings.• Performed In-phase thermo-mechanical fatigue research using Gleeble thermomechanical simulation machine for better prediction of failure of aerospace superalloy. Found that welded IN 738 in the new pre-weld condition performed comparably to unwelded material at certain strain ranges.• Validated the use of the new pre-weld heat treatment for industrial usage for the improvement of laser weldability of IN 738 superalloy. • Oversaw the laboratory and tutorial sessions for MECH 2272 – Materials Engineering I for undergraduate students.
