Experience

• Master thesis Permobil · Contract Feb 2024 – Jul 2024 5 mos Timrå, Västernorrland County, Sweden 1. Developed a parametric CAD model of the human thigh-buttock region in SolidWorks and Excel, using human anthropometry data from online databases for accurate geometry and scalability.
  2. Simulated the sitting interaction between the human model and cushion in Ansys, applying hyper-elastic material properties to represent realistic tissue deformation under load.
  3. Conducted optional pressure mapping tests on wheelchairs and fat percentage analysis of volunteers to validate simulation outcomes.
  4. Addressed the issue of pressure ulcers in wheelchair users caused by prolonged sitting by enabling virtual testing of cushion designs before physical trials.
  5. Helped reduce manual testing effort, time, and energy consumption, while improving result accuracy and customization for different body profiles.
  6. Strengthened expertise in parametric modeling, FEA, ergonomic analysis, and material simulation, alongside collaboration with cross-functional teams, report writing, and technical presentations.

• Engineering Trainee Titan Company Limited · Contract Nov 2019 – May 2022 2 yrs 6 mos Bengaluru, KA, India 1. Contributed to CAD modeling and product testing tasks supporting senior engineers in the design and validation of mechanical systems for watch production.
  2. Designed an automated product display system using Creo that simplified product showcasing for sales teams and reduced the time taken to access multiple samples.
  3. Performed testing of an Automatic Time-Setting Device that synchronized watch timing with GPS data, drastically reducing manual setting time per unit for the assembly team.
  4. Collaborated with vendors, PPC, and QA/QC departments to ensure smooth product transfer.
  5. Gained hands-on experience in product validation, CAD design, while working in a fast-paced industrial environment.
  6. Improved soft skills in technical communication, teamwork, and documentation through collaboration with diverse departments.
