XP Power, Gloucester, MA

Manufacturing Engineer

• Part of a team reporting directly to the Director of Global Manufacturing put together to Plan, Validate, Scale-up, and sustain a manufacturing plant in China where we perform electro-mechanical assembly operations, troubleshooting, and repair to aid in the development of new fixtures, processes, and procedures for NPI.
• Responsible for creating experiments, designing test fixtures and prototypes to validate various fabricated components while simultaneously validating production processes and verifying the execution of those processes.
• Utilize and enhance data systems to monitor and improve first-pass yield using structured problem-solving to identify the root cause of failures and consistent process complications.

Siemens Energy - Dresser Rand (Quest Global), NY

Mechanical Design Engineer

• Successfully created detailed models and Manufacturing drawings of various D-R compressor components using Siemens NX integrated with Teamcenter, and SAP with successful on time release of these in the workflow.
• Utilized Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to create engineering drawings, while adhering to various international codes and standards, including Siemens-Energy internal standards. Leveraged knowledge of these standards to design compressor components in detail to produce customer facing drawings for compressor parts.

Mechanical Project Engineer

• Demonstrated ability to proactively plan and coordinate projects for the Siemens Energy TCP after-markets Project Management team by cross-functional collaboration, ensuring timely flow of materials while monitoring impacts on overall project schedule. Provided mentorship and guidance to newer team members to foster their professional development.
• Created, reviewed and updated manufacturing instructions and spec sheets as part of the Siemens Energy plant transition team, where I played a key role in the knowledge transfer of manufacturing processes for various Turbo Compressor components. Also, reviewed and updated the design and manufacturing process specifications.
• Also implemented the Project Management techniques like Agile Scrum and Kanban using Leankit for improved Productivity.

Interacting Robotic Systems Laboratory, Stony Brook University

Graduate Student Researcher

• Successfully developed and defended a thesis on a novel method for impedance control under uncertain environment properties for a serial chain robot manipulator, utilizing Screw Linear Interpolation (ScLERP) to ensure the required end effector trajectory.
• Conducted specialized experiments in MATLAB simulations to validate the effectiveness of the defended thesis on a 7-degree-of-freedom (DOF) robot (Baxter Arm), demonstrating its ability to perform various tasks with different types of constraints with various orientation parameterizations.

SVS Engineering, India
