As a Product Design Engineer, I facilitated innovative technology introduction by leading the end-to-end product lifecycle, including business case review, conceptualization, CAD modeling, finite element analysis, rapid prototyping, testing, customer-site release, large-scale manufacturing, and commercialization. To do so, I collaborated cross-functionally to implement DFX, build complex CAD models, and perform FMEA and root cause analysis on prototypes to pinpoint and communicate technical issues to stakeholders.

• Led mechanical design and development of 7 next-generation vibratory separators from concept to

design, prototyping, validation and successful business commercialization resulting in 24% increase

in revenue

• Led team to ensure successful commercialization of products in European market by meeting local certification requirements and addressing design for manufacturing and supply chain

constraints.

• Identified technical issues for stakeholders by conducting FMEA and root cause analyses on

prototypes.

• Collaborated with external vendors and cross functional teams to implement design for assembly,

reliability, quality, manufacturing and supply chain strategies, lead design review meetings to resolve

issues.

• Engaged team of design engineers in European facility and supported them to ensure on-time

delivery of products successfully executing $1.2 million worth of customer orders.

• Developed an AI based tool to predict motion parameters of vibratory separators. The software tool

with $4.3 million NPV (Net Present Value) allows customer to run machine at optimum conditions

enhancing process efficiency by 15-18%.

As a Mechanical Engineer, I was brought onboard to optimize designing of large-volume plastic consumer goods components using Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) at this $8.3B FMCG industry segment. To achieve this, I designed various simulations and analyzed the corresponding data to ensure manufacturing of customer-centric and cost-effective products.

My key accomplishment here involved developing a MATLAB-based tool to identify high-performing 2D and 3D components for comprehensive finite element analysis and screen out low impact design combinations. These simulations helped assess part usability, reliability and cost effectiveness. By identifying hook and loop combinations for simulation, I achieved a 40% reduction in computational cost.

As a Graduate Researcher, I identified tolerance-related manufacturing errors in automotive transmissions by applying manufacturing eccentricities and analyzing their impact on noise and vibration characteristics of the powertrain. I then conducted quasi static analysis with varying torque conditions and magnitude of runout error to study transmission error. The outcomes of these finite element based analysis were used in a MATLAB analytical model for a comprehensive dynamic analysis.
