Derby, England, United Kingdom
I'm currently overseeing the design optimisation of all Platform Mechanical and Electrical systems on board the SSN-AUKUS attack submarine. The work I do ensures our Navy submarines remains mission-ready upon its deployment. Additionally, I support the broader Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) efforts, ensuring sustained support for the UK's submarines throughout their lifespan.
- Lead the delivery of Availability, Reliability & Maintainability (AR&M) activities across the entire Mission Systems business unit at Babcock (some of the projects include Mil SatComms Solutions, Attack Subs WHALS, RN intercept and Escort Boat, Electronic Warefare Systems, Destroyer Combat Systems etc. ) - Develop assurance strategies through predictive AR&M model. - Provide leadership to the engineering team to deliver a range of new and modified subsystems and services covering a range of Military and Commercial technologies (COTS) and software. - Develop and implement strategies for ensuring the engineering team has the right capacity and capability to meet the needs of the AR&M program. - Oversee the development of new/enhanced services, systems, and capabilities to ensure that evolving end-user needs are met. - Represent the company at stakeholder meetings, governance forums, and design reviews. -Drive a multi miliion pound programme of technology change to enhance AR&M. - Capability development of the Mission Systems AR&M engineering team. - Ensure the engineering team meets the needs of various programs by developing strategies for staff movement and professional development. - Lead the development and implementation of AR&M strategies and AR&M plan to enhance system reliability and maintainability and hence, make system meet their availability goals. - Manage the performance and development of the AR&M engineering team and AR&M capabilities.
Responsible for setting up and leading the Availability, Reliability & Maintainability (AR&M) discipline for the SKYNET Programme which is used by the UK Armed Forces and Intelligence Community to communicate. SKYNET 6 was established to provide new space-based communications capabilities out to 2041 from the end of the SKYNET 5 PFI service. It directly underpins the armed forces’ capability to communicate and operate globally. Role requires strong stakeholder management, leadership, use of numerical probabilistic analytical tools, FMECA, Fault Tree, Root Cause, DRACAS/FRACAS, RCM, MTA, LoRA and support to LSAR
Lead AR&M analyst on the SSN(R) and SSN-AUKUS Nuclear Submarines Platform Mechanical and Electrical systems. Provided design recommendations and specified reliability charecteristics of various systems for e.g. S&BV, Desalination, Trim and Comp, Fresh Water Cooling, Chilled Water Cooling etc.
In my two-month at IE, I contributed to the CFD-led design optimization of Fuel Cells intended for commercial aircraft. In this brief period, I successfully delivered both 1D and 3D models for the optimal dimensions of the fuel cells' water galleries, enhancing their performance significantly.
Provided modeling satergies for 400 Series CRDi and EPA EU Stg 5 engines. CHT, 1D 3D coupling simulation
I was placed on a Garden Leave by JCB due to my involvement in JCB's Non-Disclosure Agreement Programme
Project engineer for the H2 Engine Project, provided inputs for technical direction and supported steering groups. I also looked after in-service engines performances and managed DRACAS / FRACAS via JCBs tool called the ePCM to ensure new product implemented LfE and design risks were mitigated earlier during product lifecycle.
I provided crucial CFD support during the development phase of the Stage 5 - 6 cylinder JCB Diesel Engine. Within a mere three months, I established a 1D-3D coupled simulation capability at JCB, specifically catering to the design and advancement of intake manifolds for our engine development initiatives. This endeavor involved fostering communication between different departments and software vendors. I led the JCB India (Pune) team dedicated to after-treatment CFD simulations, ensuring compliance with the Bharat Stage Emission Standard. Additionally, I play a key role in supporting the business through the NPI process. Managing the ePCM tool (FRACAS) to aid in meeting Gate targets, I collaborate closely with Chief Engineers and senior business executives, offering insights into potential issues within active engine programs that might impact the Engineering Sign Off (ESO) process.
