PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Confidential

Design Engineer

Responsibilities:

Designed and developed body structure parts such as side structure, dash, cowl, roof, floor at various stages of product life cycle.
Performed various R&D activities related to BIW including releasing duties and writing technical reports.
Researched on design concepts to improve cost, weight and structural performance of BIW structure.
Designed and developed 2D and 3D drawings using CATIA V5.
Worked on CATIA V5 work benches such as generative shape design, part design, drafting and assembly for more than 6000 hours.
Visited vendor plants and manufacturing facilities of Hyundai to provide technical support.
Benchmarked competitors’ vehicles for BIW technologies and trends, and worked on part localization.
Verified design data with the help of Teamcenter - Vismockup to audit the design compatibility issues for all stages of vehicle development.
Assisted in design for manufacturing and assembly, and participated in teardown sessions to benchmark competitor’s vehicles.
Established Datum Reference Frame for Parts/Assemblies through identification of reliable and critical functional features
Verified drawings to meet ASME Y14.5M standard and suggesting improvements in controlling features effectively to meet product requirements.

Dimensional Engineer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

Tolerance stack-up analysis of parts/sub-assemblies such as wiper, headlamp, seat, FR Bumper, fender apron, hood, tailgate, fenders, closures, suspension based on assembly processes and GD&T using 3DCS software to analyze and report dimensional variation.
Identified specific contributors either from product or process and their impact on total dimensional variation of the product to enhance quality.
Developed and maintained key product characteristics of components and assembly to perform tolerance studies.
Documented case studies of real time dimensional issues for future reference.
Estimated percentage of builds out of tolerance specification to find manufacturing process capability using dimensional variation analysis and suggest changes to meet tolerance specifications.
Supported plant in root causing dimensional issues at various stages such as proto and pilot.
Presented analysis results and recommendations to CAD designers, manufacturing teams and suppliers to suggest and implement design and process changes to improve quality and performance of final product.

Graduate Assistant

Confidential, IL

Responsibilities:

Worked under the chair of Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering as lab attendant.
Assisted chair in conducting Six Sigma training events and preparing course material.
Engaged in on-site collaboration with Korean engineers at company headquarters in South Korea for six months. Trained on 3DCS Variation Analyst.
Worked with Korean counterparts and vendors to develop DVA team, initial variation analysis models, develop training material and introduce GD&T into the engineering drawings.

Confidential

Design Engineer

Responsibilities:

Involved in developing Confidential using closures data and parting lines.
Developed master sections, part drawings and prepared BOM specifications.
Checking and modifying panels according to design guide at every stage.
Coordinated with Korean engineers during development phase and support activities.
Implemented new concept of forming in Centre floor to increase stiffness and eliminate NVH pads without increasing the weight.

Confidential

Dimensional Engineer

Responsibilities:

Identified key product characteristics of wiper such as Crank angles, Blade tips and attack angles.
Built stack-up model in 3DCS variation analyst software using assembly process and manufacturing variations.
Applied GD&T from drawings of components to 3D-model using Functional tolerancing and annotation (FTA).
Identified major contributors for the variation of key product characteristics from the results and discussed the results with concerned design teams and suppliers to optimize tolerances.
Reduced variation of crank angles and blade tip so that optimum area is wiped by the blades.
Reduced variation in attack angle so that NVH is decreased.
