Responsibly modeled designs from technical drawings and independently ran FEA analysis to identify any structural incompetency

• Created detailed 3D models and drawings using SolidWorks, PTC Creo, and CATIA with GD&T compliance
• Employed 3D models to assess the weight of the proposed prototypes
• Performed FEA simulations in Ansys to strengthen designs and identify areas of improvement
• Designed automotive, thermal, and consumer components per industry standards, including engine parts and assemblies
• Conducted design validation through simulation, ensuring functionality and compliance
• Managed projects efficiently using Trello

Gained experience in maintenance procedures within a hospitality setting and occasionally assisted with administrative tasks

• Maintained HVAC systems, plumbing, and mechanical equipment, ensuring compliance with safety standards
• Diagnosed and resolved technical issues efficiently using root cause analysis
• Delivered customer service through front desk operations, handling check-ins, inquiries, and maintenance requests
• Kept detailed maintenance records, adhering to health and safety regulations

Acquired practical experience alongside the theoretical principles to contribute towards the manufacturing of solar-assisted heating systems

• Assisted in the fabrication and inspection of ETC domestic solar water heater with direct heating
• Conducted FEA simulations focusing on thermal stress analysis of evacuated tubes and structural analysis of mounting structures using Ansys suggesting an improvement of about 15% in durability
• Worked closely with the manufacturing team gaining hands-on experience in prototyping and testing of products

Completed a 3-month summer internship, gaining knowledge of automotive components and repair processes

• Gained insights into repairing procedures for exhaust system, oil filter, catalytic converter, and Li-ion battery in EV
• Assisted in replacing the engine in a TATA Harrier SUV due to a cracked engine block and excess exhaust
• Modelled a full assembly of a 4-cylinder petrol engine, similar to the one used in TATA Tiago, using Solidworks and identified areas of possible structural failure using FEA analysis
• Conducted testing and validation of parts, analyzing data in Excel to evaluate the performance
• Generated reports detailing findings and recommendations
