Strong engineering professional with a Master of Engineering - MEng focused in Mechanical Engineering from University of Windsor.
• Define project scope, specifications, and schedules • Manage a comprehensive pipeline of project solution implementation from mechanical design and CAD modelling, through to detailed specification of mechanical equipment, and component sourcing and fabrication, testing and validation. • Utilize finite element analysis (FEA) and other simulation techniques to evaluate designs for structural integrity, thermal performance, and fluid dynamics. • Design/fabricate and/or source suitable mechanical testing systems. • Plan, analyze and present validation experiments for pilot scale design solutions. • Prepare specifications required for third party fabrication, liaise with vendors and contractors to ensure successful and timely completion of work.
• Responsible for design, analysis, documentation, assembly, and testing of fluidizer subsystem for slurry-based Fuel Management System (FMS) able to operate in an extremely corrosive environment. • Designed a Fluidizer subsystem test bench for accelerated testing of iterations in the design process and gathering valuable data for CFD, developed a detailed test plan and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). • Design and upgrade FMS components based on Test data and recommendations from the process team. • Perform Vibration analysis on rotary components of FMS, CFD on fuel storage and delivery components of FMS, analysis performed in Ansys. • Designed thin-walled fuel storage tanks and performed FEA to design stress under material allowable stress with a factor of safety 4 (long-term static FOS for composite materials). • Collaborate with workshop technicians for manufacturability concerns and fabricate prototypes based on design and installation on the test bench for performance evaluation. • Model transient behavior of FMS and HVAC using Python and deriving requirements for system components. • Calculated and designed structures and lifting mechanisms to handle live loads up to 1.3 tons. • Produced detailed manufacturing drawings and assembly documentation according to ASME Y14.5 design and drawing standards. • Conduct Preventive Hazard Assessment of lab systems and Test Stations. • Create 3D models for Piping and Support structures based on Piping and Instrumentation diagram. • Worked with Senior Mechanical Engineer to define and implement Prototype and Engineering Lifecycle and Templates for product design and development in Solidworks PDM as per ASME Y14.5 – 2009 and ISO 2768. • Contact manufacturers to manufacture/fabricate custom parts, and vendors to supply the shelf-parts.
• Manage all phases of the design process for a multitude of products, components, parts, assemblies, and subassemblies, including drafting, dimensioning, tolerancing, prototyping, and documenting results. • Responsible for mechanical design, CAD model development with SolidWorks and Siemens NX, and engineering drawing development of aerospace structures. • Responsible for stress analysis, detail part sizing, and strength verification of primary and secondary aerospace structure, and test articles using classical hand analysis methods and by interpreting results from finite element analysis. • Execute Random Vibration Analysis grounded on Power Spectral Diagram (g2/Hz vs. Hz) and Modal analysis on components/assemblies under development/improvement phases. • Thermal modeling of electronic systems and thermal management solutions using Siemens NX Space Systems Thermal and Matlab. • Developed Python data model to collect and analyze data from sensors for decision making and operate ADCS of CubeSat consisting of Magnetorquers, gyroscope, and reaction wheel.
• Continuously improved processes via designs, work instructions, statistical process control, and other relevant methods and concepts. • Designed innovative component/module replacements for existing machinery that improved functioning and extended the life of equipment thought to be obsolete for a fraction of the total replacement cost. • Identified the root causes for the machine breakdown by analyzing data with the 8D Corrective Action, Fishbone diagram, and Pareto Analysis, curtailing the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). • Evaluated all system capacity and analyze all production requirements and system deficiencies. Increased production by 8.7% by utilizing the Economic Lot Quantity and Lead Time Analysis methods. • Analyzed manufacturing data and summarized operational trends to formulate improvement plans. Decreased cost/ton from 1.3 INR to 0.8 INR. • Prepared planned maintenance schedule each month based on the production schedule, assisting in the reduction of breakdown production loss by 17.3%. • Developed modification plans, contracting strategy, materials strategy, and execution plans to ensure the assigned projects/ modifications are implemented in a timely event free manner.
