Mechanical Design Engineer • New Product Development (NPD)
Mechanical Design Engineer with 4 years of industrial experience in New Product Development (NPD). Currently developing severe-service high-pressure control valves at Emerson (Fisher), following 3 years designing automotive exhaust systems at L&T Technology Services.
Holds an M.Tech in Design Engineering from BITS Pilani (84%) and B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from SASTRA University (78%). Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) and formally certified in ASME Y14.5 GD&T. Recipient of the Emerson EDGE Award and the LTTS OpenHack Employees' Choice Award.
Work Experience Highlights
Design Engineer – New Product Development (NPD)
Mechanical component development for high-pressure control valves per ASME B16.34 and ASME Y14.5 GD&T. Calculation-led sizing, FEA simulation, factory floor trial iterations, Teamcenter PLM, and Microsoft Power Apps NPD tracker.
Engineer – Automotive Exhaust Design & Development
Designed automotive sheet-metal exhaust components and mounting brackets. Performed structural, thermal, and vibration FEA reliability studies, 3D STL scan validation, and received the LTTS OpenHack Employees' Choice Award.
Dissertations & Projects
Leaf Spring Optimization
Evaluated structural geometry, joint architecture, and hybrid composite materials using FEA and Pugh decision matrix. Recommended an S-glass/epoxy-steel hybrid achieving 28% simulated weight reduction and 66% higher stiffness.
Laser Shock Peening on ZE41 Mg
Investigated pulsed Nd:YAG laser shock peening on aerospace magnesium alloy. Demonstrated an ultimate tensile strength increase from 134 to 168 MPa (+25.4%).
PLA Coir Fibre Composite
Fabricated eco-friendly bio-composites using surface-treated coir fibers and PLA matrix. Characterized mechanical tensile, flexural, and impact properties per ASTM standards.
