IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a mechanical design engineer with experience in aerospace structural design, CAD migration projects, and CAE analyses, having worked on exo-atmospheric missile and interceptor programs at DRDL/DRDO. I combine hands-on modelling in Nx-CAD and DSS-SolidWorks with ANSYS Workbench analyses to iterate designs for manufacturability, integration and performance.
I have led team efforts on complex projects, delivered presentations and documentation, and completed internships in mold design, moldflow analysis and piping/project design. I also freelance on Nx-CAD and DSS-SolidWorks projects and continually expand skills in tooling, GD&T and multidisciplinary engineering workflows.
