Profile: https://flows.cv/charansaibandaru

As a passionate Aerospace and Mechanical Engineer with an M.S. from Arizona State University and industry experience, I specialize in product design, analysis, and manufacturing. I excel in delivering efficient, reliable solutions through comprehensive mechanical design, Product design, leveraging CAD tools, finite element analysis (FEA), Numerical solutions, CFD, and materials science. My manufacturing expertise includes a Six Sigma Green Belt, DFMEA, Poke-yoke, 5S, 8D, DMAIC, and Statistical Process Control (SPC), alongside experience with OEE, MRP, and ERP processes. I thrive on tackling complex engineering challenges, applying Root Cause Analysis (e.g., fishbone), GD&T, FEA, and Design of Experiments (DOE). My analytical capabilities encompass mathematical, physics-based modeling, optimization, and statistical/numerical analysis using MATLAB and Python, complemented by a strong understanding of solid mechanics, material characterization, and constitutive modeling of custom nonlinear materials, including lead-free solder joint failure in electronics for automotive, Aerospace and Consumer Electronics applications.
