• Supervised and assigned tasks to a team of 20 operators, ensuring parts are manufactured to required quality standards by conducting first article inspection and in-process quality checks on a sampling basis• Identified, analyzed, and minimized the faults arising during manufacturing – Achieved a 57% reduction in missing parts, the topmost issue caused by operator error of placing parts in different trolleys, by implementing a projector system with arrows to guide the operator. • Strategized about meeting the schedule and achieving the daily production output targets for approx. 15 machines by resolving operational issues and ensuring effective resource allocation• Identified and implemented continuous improvement initiatives for improving productivity and product quality – Refined Flex machine cleaning/handover process during shift changeovers, bringing down transition time by 20 mins• Promoted OHS compliance on the shop floor by imparting safe lifting and stacking techniques through regular toolbox meetings and by conducting random safety checks - resulting in no major reported incidents• Conducted regular stocktakes, ensuring accurate inventory records and minimizing operational disruptions

• Carried out the 3D modelling of spacecraft structural components, including brackets, inserts and angles• Reviewed the engineering drawings of the structural components for ease of manufacturing and GD&T-related aspects before fabrication• Reduced the average turnaround time for manufacturing spacecraft structural components by 20% through streamlining the process and establishing effective communication with the designers and the fabrication team• Spearheaded the implementation of ISO 9001:2015 standards in the department, and strategized about the achievement of specified KPIs for each year• Carried out quality assurance activities for all deliverables, including sandwich panels, and assessed the test reports to ensure the quality of finished products• Supervised a team of 15 technicians to carry out the fabrication and repair of Aluminium and Composites honeycomb sandwich panels and sub-system assemblies for 20+ spacecraft projects within established time limits• Planned and managed the procurement of space-grade materials right from the generation of technical specifications to the delivery of items, and expedited the process by liaising with all the stakeholders• Prepared data sheets comprising the mass and other details for all the deliverables, and generated weekly status reports for review by the division head

• Taught design of machine elements and engineering drawing to a class of 50+ undergraduate students• Evaluated and supervised student activities and performance levels to provide reports on academic progress• Built strong rapport with students through class discussions and academic advisement

• Successfully installed and commissioned three line conveyors, including chutes and pulleys, as a part of the plant capacity expansion project from 7 to 10 MTPA• Strategized and conducted the operations of the RMHS department and disposed of any snags to ensure uninterrupted delivery of iron ore and coal to the Blast furnace through line conveyors
