• Fabricated fixture components in machine shop using lathe, mill and reducing overall lead-time and outsourcing cost by 50%.
• Performed FEA analysis, FMEAs and conducted user, safety, ergonomic studies and reduced risk factors on new automation fixture.
• Documented 20 plus work instructions, engineering summaries, design reviews, meeting minutes, BOMs, SOPs, EQs, IQs and DOEs.
• Implemented new methods to improve bond strength of medical device disposable components and improved shelf life by 100%.
• Reduced assembly process time by 50%, eliminated operator dependency and increased total component assembly per shift by 1.5 times.

Ashima Group

Manufacturing Intern • April 2018 - August 2018

Working in Ashima was a great experience and I developed my manufacturing skills and leart a lot about lean application. This was possible benig a part of an experienced team.

• Improved the production capacity by 3% by reducing product transit time within shop floor, simplifying flow and functionality using AutoCAD.
• Decreased equipment idling by 20% using kitting and implementing workstation readiness between shifts making it easy for operators.
• Updated more than 10 work instructions, performed equipment qualification and assisted in operator training on machines.
• Maintained documents, conducted process studies and root cause analysis (RCA) to achieve and maintain high quality on critical workstations.
• Monitored weekly production and analyzed machine logs to visualize idle time, efficiency and reduced wait time by 6 seconds per product.

Windsor Machines

Mechanical Engineer • July 2016 - December 2017

Being a large manufacturing unit, there was a lot to learn in Windsor Machines like machining, testing of equipments, 3D modelling and more. I started as an intern and was hired full-time. Few tasks I performed were:

• Calculated tolerance stack analysis on components of size injection molding machines for accurate assembly and reduced rework by 70%.
• Communicated with suppliers for engineering changes and updated designs, drawings, and documentation in PDM system.
• Executed troubleshooting on 4 injection molding machines daily on average and documented the component failures.
• Analyzed 50 plus mold tools and improved performance by reducing weld points, short shots, excessive temperature and pressure, etc.
• Fabricated sheet metal enclosures and housings for electromechanical components and assured assembly fit.

Northeastern University

Resizable Bottle Design

Engineering Product Design • April 2020

Understanding user needs and solving problems is basic in Engineering Product Design. Designed a resizable container for saving floor space.

• Brainstormed, Designed and prototyped a resizable container according to amount of fluid in it, saving 45% of floor space in fridge.
• Researched for patent and current competitors and keeping overall cost below the currently available solutions in market.
• Established necessary steps, determined required resources and created project schedule for all phases of product development.

Segway Control System Design

Control Systems Engineering • April 2020

Developed and tested various controllers for the Segway vehicle.

• Designed system controllers using stability analysis, root locus design, frequency response tools, as well as state space techniques for independently powered wheels.
• Used Maple for complex mathematical calculations, MATLAB to generate transfer functions, Root-Locus and Bode plots of governing dynamics and Simulink to design controllers and check and improve stability.

Life Cycle Assessment: Fuel Tanks

Environmental Issues in Product Manufacturing • April 2019

Assessed environmental impacts associated with all the stages of the life-cycle of an HDPE and a Steel automobile fuel tank.

• Performed life cycle assessment on plastic (HDPE) and steel fuel tanks to determine the environmental burdens in material production, manufacturing, use and end of life stages comparing energy consumption and CO 2 NOx emissions throughout its lifecycle.
• Used CMAP to layout lifecycle flow diagram each fuel tank and studied environmental impacts using CES Edupack and SolidWorks Sustainability and reducing overall carbon footprint by 10% over the lifecycle of 10 years of a 15 gallon automobile fuel tank using HDPE Fuel tanks.

Small Scale Wind Energy and Feasibility

Renewable Energy • May 2017

Study on feasibility of small scale Vertical (VAWT) and Horizontal (HAWT) Axis Wind Turbines in Urban settlement.

• Designed and assembled parts of vertical (VAWT) and horizontal (HAWT) axis wind turbine in SolidWorks.
• Performed flow simulations on each turbine and calculated torque and power generated on turbine shaft in 4-10 m/s of average wind speed as per urban settlement.
• Compared efficiency and other feasibility factors concluding best solution for wind power extraction in an urban settlement.
