Automotive Engineer with solid background in Design engineering. Skilled in using CAD software, prototyping and testing with keen eye for detail. Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams in design, development and implementation of complex projects.

Autonomous Battery Swapping Station:

• Conceptualized and developed intuitive sketches and 3D CAD models that met all project requirements.
• Based designs on carefully considering input from team members and our project supervisor.
• Researched extensively and analyzed existing designs, specifications, and methods to determine the best approach for meeting our goals.
• Conducted a root cause analysis with a fishbone diagram and the 5 whys technique to resolve issues related to delayed processing times.
• Designed and developed the battery module casing, including the optimal cell arrangements, as well as a state-of-the-art robotic arm fitment and charging/storage station.
• Modified subassembly parts according to primary design requirements using SOLIDWORKS, ensuring a seamless integration of all components.
• Ensured that all designs were efficient and reliable, resulting in a top-of-the-line Autonomous Battery Swapping Station.

Recovering energy from waste heat:

• Designed and fabricated heat pipes and heat sinks for thermoelectric generators using AUTO CAD
• Conducted FEA analysis on the exhaust block using SOLIDWORKS and ANSYS
• Utilized copper oxide nanofluids in heat pipes to enhance the thermal conductivity by 15%
• Recovered 20% of waste heat by introducing heat pipes and TEGs to the exhaust system
