Mobashir Kashani

Profile

• Working on design and development of natural gas engine’s PRL components (MWM platforms TCG 3016, 3020, 2032)
• Responsible for complete root cause analysis of CPI, finalization, validation and implementation of ICA & PCAs
• Responsible for NTI, NPI & MCR of PRL components
• Leading regular CPI and MCR meetings with CFT members and project black belt to develop and execute validation plans, FMEAs, risk assessments, field follow-ups, and PPAP sample submissions.

Selected accomplishment

• Designed modifications in VM32 cylinder block for the twin-stage turbocharger NPI project, resulting in increase in mounting strength and increase in oil supply capacity (MaK)
• Led the root cause analysis for piston bowl rim crack CPI on TCG 2020, identified compressor surge and knocking as root cause. Supporting in the implementation of corrective engine control measures.
• Awarded VP’s Employee of the quarter for identifying the root cause of piston bowl rim crack CPI.
• Provided engineering support for early liner cavitation CPI on TCG2032B, contributing to the identification of the root cause, design & development of effective ICA & PCA.
• Conducting in-depth root cause analysis for vertical liner crack and piston seizure-liner crack on TCG3020 as part of CPI Find it project
• Leading the piston pin resourcing project for 2032B platform, implementing, dimension, and process changes while conducting thorough risk assessment and validation.
• Provided critical engineering support in the liner resourcing project transition from Mahle to WTQ.
• Resolved the ring scuffing issue on PRL components of 3032 NTI project by increasing top land height.
• Designed a concept layout for a 100% hydrogen fuel intake system for TCG3016, demonstrating feasibility and contributing to future product development.

Profile

• Responsible for understanding product design requirements, designing, optimizing, and developing the Engine as per new emission norms (1.5 liter 4 Cyl Engine, BSVI & CAFÉ engine Development)
• Interacted with component suppliers (Tier 1 & Tier 2), PPAP, checked control plans and performed material cost reduction
• Organized and conducted DFMEA with CFT members, attended and resolved field service concerns
• Provided support to manufacturing team during each stage of engine build & after product launch.

Selected Accomplishments

• Designed and Developed a novel camshaft design incorporating an additional bearing to eliminate rear-end deflection under fuel pump roller tappet load thereby improving engine reliability and performance.
• Led the design and development of a cylinder head for the modification required for BSVI compliance parts.
• Optimized cylinder wall thickness and implemented torque plate honing, reducing 3rd, and 4th order bore distortion.
• Identified and resolved connecting rod failure issue by conducting root cause analysis, benchmarking, and CAE simulations, resulting in improved component life.
• Reduced engine blow-by through revised end gap chamfer specifications based on benchmarking.
• Engineered the design and development of fuel injection system components (housing fuel pump, clamp, pipes, hoses), as part of MCR supplier resourcing project. Finalized piston bowl and injection spray layout.
• Innovated a unique oil gallery in the housing fuel pump to ensure effective lubrication of roller tappet and camshaft lobe, preventing premature component wear.
• Designed a plastic cam cover with integrated oil separation unit, successfully completing Fuji film, oil carryover, and temperature mapping trials. Additionally, designed an aluminum cam cover & intake duct for prototype engine build.
