Manufacturing Engineer at Xos Trucks
As an Industrial and Mechanical Engineer, I draw on a track record of facilitating vehicle design improvements for automotive companies. I achieve this by leveraging my engineering expertise, identifying faults, and utilizing rootcause analysis techniques. Additionally, I am adept at using cutting-edge tools and engineering design and analysis skills.
Most recently, for instance, as a Vehicle Evaluator at Roush, I exceeded my goal to find 3 faults per vehicle. I achieved this by carefully evaluating vehicle performance, conducting secondary research to keep common vehicle issues in mind, and overexerting the vehicle. My feedback and fault identification spurred critical quality improvements for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) prototype vehicles. Moreover, I also benchmarked vehicles for product validation and improvement here.

I am passionate about vehicle safety and design improvements. During my master’s in industrial engineering, I undertook a project to recommend product improvements for an airbag design. I approached this project using the Six Sigma Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) tool and quickly identified the propellant used for airbag deployment as the cause of product degradation. then recommended two viable solutions—a new and improved, tubular airbag design as well as an alternative material for the propellant.

My interest in vehicles and taking on new challenges extends to creating go-karts and racing cars and participating in competitions. I was part of a team that ranked in the top 60 out of 200 teams for a Formula SAE SUPRA event. For this project, I undertook the responsibility to resolve powertrain mounting issues. I also helped with the design and fabrication of the chassis. I also co-built a single-passenger electric go-kart operated via battery for the Eco-Kart Series.

As a Vehicle Systems Evaluator, I played a key role in the reduction of potential vehicle recalls, warranty claims, and customer complaints for key clients. I identified durability/reliability issues for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) prototype vehicles by performing vehicle testing. I also performed static and dynamic tests for HVAC, engine, transmission, In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI), and Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS).

During this role, I often exceeded my goal to find 3 faults/vehicle by taking the initiative to conduct secondary research on common issues for in-production vehicles.

I also troubleshot minor issues with vehicle systems by determining and correcting the root cause. I performed High Mileage System Reliability (HMSR) tests using onboard diagnostics (OBD) for troubleshooting purposes.

Engineering Projects
During my master’s in industrial engineering, I worked on several projects with wide-ranging applications. Some of these are:
AIRBAG IMPROVEMENT USING SIX SIGMA METHODS: I ensured occupant safety by forming a control plan to correct automobile faults and improve component quality through the implementation of the Six Sigma Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) tool. I proposed the correction of airbag faults by identifying the degradation of the propellant, Ammonium Nitrate, as the root cause. I collected customer data by conducting a 150-person survey and subsequently provided two viable solutions to the problem. One of these was the design of a new, tubular airbag model for which I used SolidWorks. I also recommended using an alternative compound for the propellant.

WAREHOUSE REDESIGN MATERIAL-HANDLING REVISION: For this project, I made suggestions to improve plant design and material handling for a charity organization, ‘Helping Hands for Relief & Development.’ I designed multiple warehouse layouts after mapping the existing warehouse using Floor Plan Maker. My proposed changes, if implemented, would boost warehouse productivity by 25% after correcting bottlenecks and congestion points.

WAREHOUSE ERGONOMICS & HUMAN FACTORS: For this project, I suggested ways to reduce risk factors and ease job duties for package handlers at FedEx Ground. I made recommendations for the application of ergonomics in the workplace and suggested use of an industrial exoskeleton to support material handling for up to 150 lbs. I utilized the National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) lifting equation to assess manual material handling risks associated with lifting and back my suggestions.

Engineering Projects
While pursuing my bachelor’s in mechanical engineering, I executed many advanced-level engineering projects. Some of these were:
MANUFACTURE & PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF PIEZO-ELECTRIC FLOOR TILES	: I generated sufficient energy to light up a 15-LED illuminating strip through piezo-electricity. I maximized pressure and the corresponding power output on piezo pressure points by creating multiple tile layouts. 

POWERTRAIN TEAM ASSOCIATE FOR FORMULA SAE SUPRA: Our project team ranked in the top 60 of 200 teams after co-designing, fabricating, assembling, and testing a formula vehicle to race at the event. For this project, I rapidly developed familiarity with electric arc welding, SolidWorks, and manufacturing and fabrication techniques. I also worked closely with 4 powertrain team members and supported a 22-member project team to overcome component procurement and installation challenges.

POWERTRAIN TEAM MEMBER FOR THE ECO-KART SERIES: I built a single-passenger, electric go-kart operated via battery. Here, I helped in the creation of multiple blueprints of the go-kart by utilizing computer-aided design (CAD) tools, like SolidWorks, while collaborating with 11 team members.

Six Sigma is a method of vastly improving quality in Product and processes. The Takata Airbag issue was a good example to where improvements must be made in terms of quality and engineering. Creating a project charter and using Six Sigma Techniques like DMAIC, I was able to identitfy the root cause of Takata airbag's life threatening airbag explosure when they are deployed in the event of an accident. Proceeding to the other phases of DMAIC I created an alternative airbag design using CAD (SolidWorks 2018) that would be a much safer design and I have also proposed a better solution to the issue of airbag propellant degradation.

Proposal of Introducing Exo Skeletons for Package Handler at Fed-Ex Ground. Researching the Loading Facilities and various Load Area Statistics provided generously by Fed-Ex Ground McCook we have proposed and presented that Should Fed-Ex provide these Exoskeletons to its employees who need them it will come at an investment at the end of which the company will profit earlier than usual as the job of the package Handler will become less stressful when lifting incompatibles as calculated by using the NIOSH Lifting Equation.
