Control System Engineer at Cummins Inc.
Control System Engineer at Cummins via LER TechForce | Passionate about Steering Controls and ADAS | Looking for full-time opportunities in Automotive, Robotics industry
I am a Post Graduate in Mechanical Engg specializing in Controls from University of Florida.
I have 2 years of Professional experience in Model based and Non Model Based Control & Filter Design, Vehicle Control for Autonomous vehicles.

I worked on TOAD (Towable Autonomous Dray) project at LHPU, where the aim is to design a semi-autonomous system which can be used on cars with smaller drivetrains for towing purposes. I am currently working as a Control software/system engineer for Cummins through LER TechForce
 
I am looking for Full Time Roles in Automotive, Robotics and Mechanical industry.

Guidance & Autopilot design for Missile (MRAAM)                                               Aug 20 – Jan 21
•	Designed an output feedback flight control system and integrated it within a guidance law to model an air-to-air intercept scenario between Medium Range air-air missile fired at an altitude of 40,000 ft at Mach 2.5and a target drone 20,000 ft downrange.
•	Implemented the guidance to ensure the drone interception at optimal actuator conditions is achieved with peak undershoot and overshoot less than 10%.

Non-Linear controller design on a 4 Link PUMA Robot Manipulator                    Jan 20 – April 20
•	Design and Implementation of Composite Adaptive Controller with RISE adaptive update law.
•	Added Concurrent learning to the controller to increase the accessibility of the control design.
•	Added Integral Concurrent learning to the adaptive law to improve the error performance to 0.01 steady state error using 2% of Max actuation (250Nm).

 Dynamic Neural Network Control design on a 4 Link PUMA Robot Manipulator
•	Designed Repetitive learning Controller for the robot manipulator.
•	Added a Dynamic Neural Network to the control design for better error performance and accuracy with lesser actuation of 0.4% of Max Torque (250Nm).

Linear Plant Identification and LQR control design                                               Jan 20 – March 20
•	Used Sine Sweep method for plant identification and LQR design to control the virtual approximation of the plant.
•	Implemented a Non Linear Controller with a target peak overshoot of less than 15% and rise time less than 2s.

•	Assisted in creating a Lean score report for each station in the automotive plant to improve the efficinecy in the auditing process and identify bottle necks easily.
•	Created a new NRFT tracking system to reduce NRFT in Ring Gear cells by 12% for Tata, and 9-10% for Mahindra, 0.1 % for Nissan.
•	Applied 5S and ergonomic improvements to the work station which resulted in improving worker efficiency, daily targets have been met 85% of the time as opposed to the 70% before.
•	 Assisted in Quality and Safety audit for the plant to ensure the ISO 14001 certification guidelines have been thoroughly followed at Sirsi and Bhosari Plants.
•	Improving the Value Stream Mapping of the plant design by adding more dynamic variables that result in variable bottlenecks that occur at given frequencies ( decided by the vendor)


2) Bottleneck Reduction in U375 UOPS using Value Stream Mapping: Using Value stream maps to identify the process bottlenecks and tackle them with reiterated load and work schedule. This process is repeated multiple times to see the visible changes in the efficiency.

3) Integrating the operator licensing process and optimizing the employee database Use of Excel, Visual Basic to create a lightweight database of employees with interactive GUI controls.
