About

Mechanical engineer with two years of industry experience, passionate about building practical, scalable solutions, with an innovation driven outlook. Experienced in design, rapid prototyping, and fabrication of functional products; backed by numerical simulations and analysis.

Experience

Associate Mechanical Engineer - Advent Rotational Program THERMAX LTD. · Full-time Aug 2022 – Jul 2024 1 yrs 11 mos Pune, Maharashtra, India Collaborated with a cross-functional team to optimize and standardize biomass-fired thermal oil heater design, achieving around 3500 Kg weight reduction and 30 sq. m smaller footprint on average across entire series.

Developed automated 1D iterative thermal models in Excel/VBA for the APH, Economizer, and MPA furnace; benchmarked simulations against field-calibrated design tools to achieve within 2% to 10% temperature accuracy while accelerating heater design cycles.

Performed pressure part sizing, thermal & pressure drop analysis and weight estimation to optimize and standardize heater.

Mapped manufacturing processes for boilers and heaters on the factory floor, identified bottlenecks, proposed automation improvements, and prepared detailed RLA and RCA reports based on site evaluations, during my 4 month period rotations across Innovation, Technical Services and Manufacturing departments.
