Mechanical Engineer
ASML US, LP
• Led end-to-end Engineering Change Process (ECN) execution for EDEV and MDEV projects, managing Change Requests (CRs) and Change Notifications (CNs) from initiation through implementation across D&E, ensuring alignment with ASML policy and configuration management standards. • Chaired CCB/CB meetings with cross-sector stakeholders, preparing agendas, presenting change proposals, and driving consensus on scope, feasibility, and volume assessments to ensure predictable, on-time outcomes. • Created and peer-reviewed DIA BoM structures to assess impacted assemblies and modules, maximizing end-item traceability and minimizing implementation costs across complex Bills of Materials. • Coordinated cross-functional change dependencies by managing notifications across multiple workstreams, compiling CRs impacting shared documentation and effectivity, and intervening proactively when product definition updates affect dependent notifications. • Improved QIF scores to >95% through Delta 1 & Delta 2 quality checks and reduced CR/CN/RP review cycle time to meet KPI targets, applying a data-driven approach to continuous process improvement. • Collaborated with global and offshore cross-sector teams to resolve EOL component issues for NXE RH platforms, maintaining configuration integrity and ensuring timely closure. • Monitored and controlled approved change notification implementation, tracking CR/CN status and reporting progress to Project Leads and Product Development Managers to safeguard schedule adherence. • Coached cross-functional stakeholders on configuration management best practices and change request structuring, building team capability across varying experience levels.
Sr. Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer
Aura Systems Inc
• Developed detailed 3D CAD models of electric motor subassemblies and components (stators, rotors, shafts, housings) using SolidWorks; created assemblies of legacy motors through manual measurement and reverse engineering. • Performed material analysis and selection for new motor designs — including stator laminations, winding wires, rotors, and Nomex insulation — to meet performance, thermal, and reliability requirements. • Researched and evaluated latest stator winding technologies to support new product development and manufacturability improvements.
Design Specialist
Pratt & Whitney (via Cyient Inc)
• Provided hands-on engineering support to design and manufacturing teams, troubleshooting assembly, fit-up, tolerance, and hardware non-conformance issues across LPC, HPC, and Hot Section modules. • Delivered engineering dispositions and recommendations for Non-Conformances (NCs/eQNs) and One-Time Concessions (OTCs) across multiple engine programs (NGPF, PW1100G, V2500, OCE), ensuring FTA compliance and on-time closure. • Held QNL3 delegated authority, independently approving 1,000+ NCs/eQNs, enabling rapid manufacturing recovery and reduced production line downtime. • Performed tolerance stack-up analyses at assembly and module levels to diagnose build issues, resolve interference conditions, and verify dimensional compliance — directly supporting prototype readiness and production builds. • Conducted root cause analysis of recurring manufacturing and assembly issues using structured 5-Why and Fishbone approaches, implementing permanent corrective actions and validating containment through inspection data trending. • Developed automation for NC engineering disposition templates, reducing manual effort by 50–75% and significantly improving engineering turnaround time — a process improvement that scaled across the team. • Created Zero-Defect quality checklists for internal teams and suppliers, improving data completeness, reducing rework loops, and shortening NC cycle time. • Executed Class-I and Class-II ECNs, including a Class-II change that delivered $190K in customer cost savings while improving manufacturability and design robustness through the full ECO process. • Actively participated in design and manufacturing reviews, providing assembly, tolerance, and producibility feedback to reduce downstream test and build issues. • Developed test plans and supported design of experiments for validation testing, directly contributing to prototype development and production readiness. • Authored and reviewed assembly work instructions and manufacturing documentation, en
Senior Design Engineer
Pratt & Whitney (via Cyient Ltd)
• Developed 3D CAD models and ASME Y14.5–compliant production drawings for casting and machining of critical engine hardware including oil jet nozzles, bearing supports, and LPC/HPC rotors and stators. • Performed tolerance stack-up analyses and generated 2D burst models to support structural validation, assembly clearance verification, and failure investigations. • Led design optimization and producibility initiatives — improving manufacturability, reducing component weight, and lowering cost — including a complete redesign of bearing supports for NGPF engines. • Converted legacy 2D drawings into fully parametric 3D models, improving design reuse, configuration control, and downstream manufacturing and inspection accuracy. • Prepared engineering dispositions for NCs/eQNs and OTCs; supported root cause investigations by correlating design intent, inspection results, and manufacturing feedback. • Authored and maintained Design Substantiation Memos (DSM), Technical Data Packages (TDP), and engine manuals, ensuring audit readiness. • Supported manufacturing, inspection, and test teams by resolving drawing interpretation issues, tolerance concerns, and assembly questions during production builds. • Participated in internal and external audits, demonstrating compliance with quality management systems and engineering standards. • Mentored and trained new engineers, accelerating onboarding and reinforcing consistent engineering and documentation practices.
Graduate Engineer Trainee
Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL)
• Developed 3D CAD models, assemblies, and production drawings for Hard Landing Indicator, Spring Box Assembly, and Main Landing Gear components for the Hindustan Jet Trainer aircraft. • Resolved design snags by providing engineering dispositions and preparing project slips to support timely issue closure. • Collaborated with cross-functional teams (design, stress, manufacturing, quality) to obtain alignment and approvals for final component release. • Ensured compliance with organizational quality and drafting standards, maintaining high accuracy and readiness for production.
