- Responsible for engineering deliverables on time and with accuracy.- Plan, Schedule & deploy engineering resources to achieve project schedules.- Interact with internal and external customers to iron out project specs, design concepts, etc. to achieve alignment with customer expectations.- Mentor and guide team members in their career objectives and help them develop professionally.

(Calgary Division- Oil Rig and Stimulation Design and Manufacturing )* Responsible and accountable for the engineering deliverables for assigned projects. * Proacive consultations externally with the customer at various design phases to ensure complete convergence with requirements.* Review designers' work and initiate a dialog to arrive at optimum design solutions.* To ensure all designs incorporate safety aspects in their concept.* Assisting sales by developing conceptual models to help in customer presentations and quotations.* Interacts with all departments within Stewart & Stevenson.* Mentor junior team members and assist in their individual goals whenever possible.

* Responsible for application engineering support for the branch.Sizing & selection of the hydraulic system components for all in-house and customer installed projects.* Manage projects on a turn key basis and as a single point contact.Co-ordination - Internally with various product managers & warehouse personnel in regional nodal centers (Toronto & Edmonton), shop manager & technical personnel to carry out each project successfully.* Co-ordination - Externally with vendors & clients to ensure continuous flow of information, material, etc.* Direct & mentor technicians on technical matters like best practices, safety and environmental implications of their work.* Provide detail quotes for systems technically appropriate and economically competitive. * Professional development through journals, product & application seminars by manufacturers.

* Sizing & selection of the hydraulic system components for all in-house and customer installed projects.* Handled walk-in customers for hydraulic components.* Manned the parts issue to shop against work orders.* Co-ordinate internally with shop manager & technical personnel to carry out each project successfully & externally with vendors.* Direct & mentor technicians on technical matters like best practices, safety and environmental implications of their work.* Provide detail quotes for systems technically appropriate and economically competitive. * Maintain all necessary documentation on truck modifications carried out in installing hydraulic system, additional lighting and vocational bodies for audit by CMVSS as Prairie Hydraulic Equipment is an authorized In-complete Vehicle manufacturer.

* Designed a small hydraulic system for a "rag compacting press". * Selecting & sizing of new hydraulic components and/or suggesting equivalent components in case of replacement (most often than not using first principles method as very little information was available with the customers). It is a business of "If you know what it is, you sell it".* Diagnose hydraulic problems on drill rigs with the help of schematic and symptoms or sometimes by tracing physical hydraulic lines.* Ordering previously selected components from the best source, price & delivery wise.* Good exposure on Canadian and local fluid power industry.

* Design & application support for all truck mounted hydraulic systems.* Truck center of gravity calculations, weight distribution, GVWR selections, etc was used extensively as basic theoretical principles in addition to hydraulic theories to marry the truck and the hydraulic system.* Total turn key responsibility of completing the projects including placing orders with manufacturers, tracking the status, giving direction to technicians.* After sales support in terms of customer training, addressing technical queries, etc,* Maintaining customer relation through out the product life cycle.MIS & reporting function for inventory management, order forecast & planning due to long lead times from manufacturers.* In addition to routine projects, some projects specified and executed orders (made by the manufacturers not by us) that deserve mention are type I & III ambulance and Aircraft re-fuelers.* Managed & directed a team of five product engineers.

* Design & application support for truck mounted hydraulic systems.Truck center of gravity calculations, weight distribution, GVWR selections, etc was used extensively as basic theoretical principles in addition to hydraulic theories to marry the truck and the hydraulic system.* Excavators and wheel loaders (shovel) specifying as per customer requirements.* MIS & reporting function for inventory management, order forecast & planning due to long lead times from manufacturers.* Manufacturer training seminars, self learning courses regarding truck body building calculations.

* Started as a Graduate Trainee and got exposure in hydraulic component design and manufacture.* Design hydraulic systems as per customer's application requirements.* The focus of Yuken's product line was on "Industrial Hydraulics".Typical applications included industrial hydraulic metal presses, injection molding machines, machine tools, material handling hydraulic systems, etc.* Hydraulic flow pressure calculations, power calculations, circuit logics, controls, manifold design, are some of the important facets of hydraulic system design that I got valuable experience in.* Routine & special reporting was needed in regular intervals as I operated in a region about 3000 Km away from the headquarters and the plant of the company to ensure proper co-ordination.* Conducted training seminars on issues specific to the manufactured system usage & maintenance and general areas of hydraulic systems like fluid cleanliness, safety, environmental implication, troubleshooting, etc.* Professional development was continuous on the job and off the job was in regular intervals generally in areas like time management, technology marketing, AUTOCAD training, hydraulic technology updates, etc.* Participated in technical training, computer training both off and on the job and technology management seminars.
