Senior Engineer and Project Manager, 2008 - 2011HCP Engineering, India (subsidiary of HCP Denmark)HCP Engineering specialises in conceptual design and engineering of mechanical and all types of steel structures.Key Achievements• Project managed the engineering team for design and analysis for international projects.• Reported to the team in Denmark regarding the work progress and communicated necessary inputs to the design team.• Interacted with the client to address requirements and propose fit-for-purpose solutions considering project specific constraints. • Modelled and analysed design components, supporting structures using 3D modelling software like Solid works and FEA analysis using Ansys. • Prepared technical reports for clients, engineering and management personnel or for third party and class approvals • Liaised with client side verification and approval engineers on agreed technical outputs, variations and design calculation methods.• Mentored and coached junior engineers for design and analysis.• Performed calculation and analysis studies for multiple structures using software systems and manual calculations.

Design, Analysis (Analytical, FEA using Ansys) for various components in the oil industry• Retrieving Tool for Sand Control Packer (Redesign & Analysis)• Twin Flow: The tool has two flow zones - one inner and one outer which will allow the operator to flow two separate zones at the same time. The tool had to be redesigned for a given flow area under the given operating pressure.• Hostile Density Mandrel: The Mandrel has long slots and numerous holes along the length and it is under an eccentric compressive load. The task was to find the stresses of critical regions under various loads.• Stimulation Tool: Multiple electronic circuits are used to activate the tuning fork which in turn vibrates at a very high decibel. The vibration helps in cleaning the oil well walls and for the smooth flow of oil and gas.• Pump Casing: Failure analysis of the Pump Casing under working load conditions• Cover Plate stress (Manual analysis /verification, for Noble DownHole Technology) (at Beeken TechQuest)
