Kalamazoo, Mi, United States

- Conducted a mathematical bolt joint analysis and generated a code based on input brake torque values to determine the shear stress on each bolt which helped to determine the first bolt that would slip under hypothetical loading conditions.- Simulated the deflection behavior of the brake assembly using Creo and devised a fatigue test to validate the calculations above.- Improved brake hardware life by creating clamp load decay graphs and regression curves of bolt and nut combinations.- Initiated root cause analysis of dust shield failure in brake assemblies to reach a cost-effective solution using OEM parts.- Installed data loggers on trucks and analyzed the data using IMC-FAMOS to determine the effect of air-pressure variation.- Designed and led the manufacturing initiative for a stub-axle shaft machined from a single billet vs. a 3-part welded assembly.- Worked as a development team member of the scrum team and participated in different sprint tasks and assisted in audits.- Routinely updated and released change proposals (CP’s), change requests (CR’s) and test requests (TR’s) using TeamCenter.- Designed and manufactured an electro-pneumatic drum brake lining measurement gauge (automated) to measure the lining thickness which included 4-way pneumatic valves, rotary encoders, proximity sensors and an AC-DC power supply.

Rochester, Ny, United States

- Improved the CAD environment in a new design tool called Onshape and taught students design and automation software.- Developed an automated material handling system to reduce the cycle time in cleaning glass panels for 3D printers.- Designed and conducted CFD analysis of a helical hydro-turbine which created clean energy from low-velocity water bodies.- 3D printed a patent-pending musical instrument combining the characteristics of a violin and flute using laser sintering.

Rochester, New York

- Reverse engineered and built welding fixtures to fast-track welding processes of cranes across facilities in the United States.- Troubleshot control system issues such as loss of connection to the printed circuit board (PCB) in the pneumatic handle.- Conducted a root-cause analysis of leakages in a pressure release valve and stopped the leak by improving the valve design.- Updated design validation plans (DVP’s), released new parts and worked with vendors to ensure quality conformance.- Updated engineering change notices (ECN’s) and routinely led tolerance stack-ups to ensure quality conformance of parts.

Thane, Maharashtra, India

- Interfaced between the hardware, software and electrical teams to successfully manufactured and launch a batch of All-Terrain vehicles in 8 months from an idea phase to full-scale product launch working with national and international vendors.- Designed a lightweight powertrain system, independent suspension links and panels using sound engineering practices. - Laid out tasks for interns/technicians. and solved conflicts such as budget and time allocations between different teams.- Resolved production line bottlenecks and implemented root cause and corrective actions to improve quality.- Conducted thermal fatigue tests of the top-mounted exhaust system to ensure it met industrial heat performance standards.- Laid out tasks for interns/junior engineers and resolved conflicts on budget and time allocations between different teams.- Resolved production line downtime and implemented root-cause and corrective action plans (RCCA’s) to improve quality.- Ensured conformance of the mechanical and electrical systems to SAE, ASME, AGMA, IATF, ANSI Y14.5, and ISO standards. - Undertook modal analysis of the vehicle chassis to find its natural vibration modes and ensuring the first few modes of vibration are beyond the minimum values that can be excited by the vehicle’s operation.
