Experience

• CAD Designer Hydro Puls Systems BV, Belgium · Part-time May 2026 – Present 3 mos Belgium Designed mechanical components, assemblies, and engineering mechanisms using Autodesk Fusion 360 and PTC Creo.
  Developed an inline 4-cylinder engine with dynamic mechanism simulation.
  Designed a 6-DOF robotic arm and performed motion simulation.
  Worked on UAV system architecture and autonomous aerial vehicle design concepts.
  Supported research and development activities for the Hydro Puls Direct Drive (HPDD)
  V26 Thermal Reactor Transducer (TRT) prototype through mechanical design and
  engineering analysis contributions.
  • Assisted with CAD-based design development, structural analysis, and design
  verification checks to support component evaluation and prototype refinement.
  • Applied simulation tools to perform engineering assessments and support validation of
  structural and mechanical design considerations.
  • Contributed to technical documentation and multidisciplinary R&D discussions
  involving mechanical systems, thermal considerations, and prototype integration.
• Kamikaze Drone Engineer Brahmastra Aerospace & Defence · Part-time Apr 2026 – Present 4 mos Delhi, India Contributed to the conceptual development and system-level analysis of autonomous loitering munition and strike UAV platforms, supporting multiple UAV concept studies within defence aerospace workflows. Utilized CAD tools for 3D modeling and conceptual UAV component and system design, supporting design visualization and engineering discussions. Assisted in mission profiling and operational scenario evaluation by analysing key system parameters including mission objectives, payload considerations, flight requirements, and deployment constraints. Supported UAV architecture evaluation and engineering discussions, integrating aerospace fundamentals across vehicle design, autonomous systems, CAD development, and mission planning concepts. Collaborated with engineering teams on next-generation UAV development activities, gaining practical exposure to CAD-based aerospace design, autonomous aerial platforms, and defense aerospace engineering workflows.
