What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level mechanical/design engineering role focused on vehicle dynamics, CAD/CAE-driven product development, and simulation. I value collaborative teams, hands-on prototyping, mentorship, and opportunities to solve real-world vehicle and braking-system challenges.

I am a detail-oriented mechanical engineer with strong analytical skills and a solid foundation in design, simulation, and problem-solving, ranked among the top 5% of my IIT Roorkee batch.

As Braking Head for Team KNOx, I led the braking-system design for an e-ATV, finalized a 1 Lakh budget for braking components, and ensured safety and stopping-distance requirements were met while conducting knowledge-sharing sessions for juniors.

I have completed projects including static and thermal analysis of an e-ATV brake disc using SolidWorks and ANSYS (concluding structural steel as the suitable material), a 3D-printed intermeshing-copter prototype modeled in SolidWorks, and a numerical solver for the 2D lid-driven cavity problem validated against Ghia et al. (1982).

I am proficient with SolidWorks, ANSYS, MATLAB, and OpenFOAM and enjoy applying CFD and CAE techniques to vehicle and thermal problems. I seek roles where I can contribute to hands-on product development, simulation-driven design, and collaborative engineering teams.
