Mechanical Engineer Iii
Current- Conducting and supervising field vibration measurements with Data Acquisition systems like SCADAS and EDAQs using PCB accelerometers and strain gauges on Backhoe Loaders, 4WD loaders, Crawlers Dozers and Articulated Dump Trucks.- Conducting noise audits and backup alarm tests using ISO Standards ISO 6393:96 and ISO 9533 respectively to meet target goals and regulatory limits for catering to domestic and international markets.- Investigating the root cause for vibration and noise control issues using Modal Analysis & post processing noise and vibration data to resolve field and design complaints. - Evaluating design modifications to identify possible effects on the noise and vibration control using a change in geometry, constraints and material properties.- Evaluating isolation systems of various components using Modal Analysis, Vibration data, material properties and dynamic stiffness of all components involved to determine the best combination of mounting brackets and isolators that can deliver desired noise and vibration levels.- Designing a central database management system that organizes and categorizes all the noise audit data for different machines and product groups. Utilize VB Net script to extract octave data plots from corresponding LMS files.- Assisting cross functional teams with resolving vibration and structural issues at component or machine level. Address field complaints and machine evaluation team’s reviews on machine performance and perceived noise levels.
