DEKA Research & Development Corporation

Systems Engineer (Co-op) - Medical Devices
Manchester, New Hampshire
June 2019 - December 2019

DEKA is a Research and Development Corporation based in Manchester Millyard and mainly develops medical devices. It was founded in 1982 by venerable engineer Dean Kamen.
I worked as a Systems Engineer and gained experience in several different domains such as Product Development, Process Improvement, Automation and Controls, Sensing, and Systems Engineering through the responsibilities given to me.
My first responsibility was to redesign and manufacture test fixtures and electromechanical peripherals that resulted in reducing non-essential project expenses. For my second task, I developed a statistical error compensating model for Fluid Measurement Systems (FMS) that compensates for error arising due to environmental changes. I customized the whole test setup to resonate with my specifically designed tests and used Python for automation, data collection, and data analysis, which resulted in the improvement of system efficiency by 75%. My third task required me to resolve an actual field issue, for which I prototyped a bespoke optical sensor supported by ray tracing in TracePro. I also aided in regular design reviews and engineering tasks during my time here.

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC)

Industrial Engineer (Internship)
New Delhi
May 2017 - June 2017

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation is one of the largest metro systems in India with an average daily ridership of over 4.7 million. Daily duties of an Industrial Engineer is to ensure the smooth transition of day-to-day metro activities and processes.
I worked at the Metro depot where the rolling stock is inducted for overhauling and repairs. I managed the incoming rolling stock at the docking stations and designed transport charts using the Critical Path Method. This enhanced their movement time across the facility by 10 minutes. I also used time-series forecasting to facilitate the incoming rolling stock. Deployment of my time and motion studies improved the overhauling process for Bogie and HVAC Systems by 10%. Additionally, I worked on automating the lifting process by modifying programs for cranes.

Universal Precision Screws

Manufacturing Process Engineer (Internship)
Rohtak
June 2016 - July 2016

Universal Precision Screws, a branch of Laxmi Precision Screws (LPS) - Bossard is a consumer-centric Manufacturing firm.
Here, I constantly interacted with customers to identify the requirements for screws and developed CAD models for custom injection molds and fasteners. As part of the Quality Assurance department, I applied Lean Six Sigma Methodology (DMAIC Process) on continuously sampled parts. This reduced the scrap rate by 15%, and subsequently, the overall operation costs by $1000 per batch. While working on the CLG machines for dowel pin manufacturing, I implemented a vibratory V-belt feed system to automate the feeding process that reduced overall operation time by 4 seconds per pin.

North Carolina State University

Research Engineer -
Raleigh, North Carolina
July 2020 - Present

I am currently working as a Research Engineer to establish innovations that can accelerate production initiation using Product Design and Reverse Engineering for Rapid Prototyping. I am aid research studies relating process parameters in Additive Manufacturing with the product quality and their dependence on design of product. Additionally, I work on design optimization of components in consumer products using parameter and topology optimization for better manufacturability with advanced manufacturing techniques.

As a graduate student researcher, I did extensive studies on Metallurgy and Material Science for Additive Manufacturing. My initial work was to prepare and process metal powders for Metal Additive Manufacturing. I was responsible for designing and conducting experiments for Selective Laser Melting (SLM) of Stainless Steel and Electron Beam Fusion (EBF) of Titanium Alloys.
My next project was with the School of Veterinary Sciences, North Carliona State University to create solid models of Canine Heads for surgical planning and practicing Rhinoscopy. I also helped in building framework for hyperparameter tuning of CNN that improved model accuracy by 5%.
