What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply my simulation and materials expertise in semiconductor or advanced manufacturing engineering—partnering closely with teams to validate designs, improve reliability/quality, and deliver measurable performance gains through careful experimentation and analysis.

I’m a Materials Science & Nanotechnology Engineer focused on turning simulation and materials insight into practical, high-performance designs. I’ve worked across FEA/CFD (ANSYS, ABAQUS), thin-film and materials characterization, and ballistic composite development to improve real-world outcomes.

At Syndex, I lead the design and material selection of multi-layer ballistic systems targeting NIJ III/IV threat levels, while building internal ballistic test infrastructure to validate iterative designs. Through tribology-based exoskeleton testing at NIT Calicut, I reduced penetration failure rates by 20% by applying rigorous surface-behavior and metrology-driven evaluation.

I also support industrial-scale quality and process reliability—at RM Enterprises, I improved equipment longevity by 15%, maintained 98% machine uptime, and used Statistical Process Control to cut defect rates by 15%. I’m now seeking semiconductor or advanced manufacturing engineering roles where simulation, materials engineering, and disciplined experimentation can create measurable impact.
