Work History

Mechanical Engineer

Valeo
10.2020 - 06.2023
  • Performed Technology Failure Analysis of various motors, DC -DC converters during the design validation and product validation stage
  • Rectified issues during product validation stage before the inverter part is sent for mass production
  • Conducted complete failure analysis with detailed reports on inverter parts of DC - DC converters, gear motor generators, 48V integrated belt starter generators which is used in mild hybrid vehicles
  • Prepared detailed reports after complete teardown of the part highlighting main defects due to the field tests conducted and categorizing them based on their nature and severity in the physical part and the inverter part (PCB)
  • Systematic dismantling of parts including optical and microscopic inspection,soldering and desoldering techniques, cross section study of main defect regions of PCB adhering to the IPC - A - 610 standard
  • Supported transversal activities such as radiator benchmarking, PCB benchmarking, supporting the hardware team with PCB failure analysis like burns , IC damage
  • Supported screw bench activity to find the maximum torque the screw can withstand before breakage and analysed the data collected to provide tightening torque values and checking residual torque of screws of the field tested parts
  • Awarded Certificate of Appreciation for Root Cause Analysis for high rejection rate in PCB Mounting using non-lubricated screws
  • Awarded Rewards and Recognition twice for Zero Defect and On-time Delivery of Job
