NAVEEN KUMAR S

Project – Rolls Royce Aero Engines

• Effectively developed models, assemblies and drawings using Siemens Nx and Team center as PLM.
• Enhanced customer satisfaction levels by addressing their specific needs during design process while maintaining compliance with regulatory standards.
• Reduced production costs by optimizing material usage and manufacturing processes.
• Developed detailed 3D models and drawings, ensuring accurate communication of design intent to fabrication teams.
• Developed concept on Sword Fairing to shield Flex fuel pipe which carries fuel from FMU to Core through BPD.
• Performed Tolerance Stack-up Analysis
• Designed Sheet Metal brackets as per JES326 std to support clip stacks which the routings.

Project – GE Vernova (Offshore Wind Turbines)

• Worked for NextGen Wind turbine, in areas like Central Frame, Mechanical Internals (Yaw Supports, Yaw Lubrication, Cabinet supports).
• In Cabinet Supports, Designed a support, which linked the Rear Frame and the cabinet frame with 3 directional adjustment.
• Worked in sheet metal workbench for designing the top cover for cabinet support.
• Routing the Electrical Cables with in the cabinet.
• In Yaw Supports, Modification the existing Yaw covers according the NextGen Requirement.
• Routing Yaw lubrication Hoses to the pinions, by optimizing the existing hose routings.
• Created a concept design for step platform, which act as intermediate platform between Upper and the inner platform(communizing the design to use in multiple places in between the yaw motor space available on the central frame).
• Also done the drafting for the designed parts.
• All this works are done here in NX and PLM Enovia / Corella.
• Apart from this contributed my expertise from other CAD software to develop a tool to automate the drawing creation in NX.

Deputed as Design Engineer at Daimler Truck Innovation Center India Private Limited

• Concept creation & designing the fixtures & brackets using inputs from the testing team from Germany, which is used to hold the housings intact in the testing environment
• Proficient in the designing software NX & teamcenter visualization as well as the PLM tools SMARAG & Finas.
• Successfully met challenging client requirements by developing tailored engineering solutions that exceeded expectations.

• Reduced production costs by optimizing material usage and manufacturing processes.
• Enhanced customer satisfaction levels by addressing their specific needs during the design process while maintaining compliance with regulatory standards.
• Identified opportunities for process improvements and implemented changes resulting in increased efficiency.
• Developed comprehensive technical specifications that clearly outlined design requirements for vendors and manufacturing partners alike.
• Established strong relationships with suppliers, negotiating favorable terms for high-quality components at competitive prices.
• Participated in industry conferences and workshops, staying current on cutting-edge technologies and best practices for mechanical design engineering.
• Mentored junior engineers in best practices for mechanical design, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional growth.
• Collaborated with cross-functional teams to develop high-quality products within tight deadlines.
• Proactively identified potential risks in the design process and developed contingency plans to mitigate potential impacts on project timelines or budgets.
• Used Solidworks & Deform to meet design specifications for functional prototypes.
• Got an opportunity to work for a OEM customer (PSA Stellantis) Group, In this project my contribution are as Design Engineer was responsible in making the Process Design to manufacture the Automotive component as per the customer's requirement. This includes the Simulation, Process drawings, PFD, Failure Mode Effects & Analysis (FMEA) .All these were done using the, APQP methodology
• Apart from this, I got in to TPM activities majorly in the Development Management Pillar, where I got the exposure of VAVE concepts and worked on cost reduction projects, Process improvements, identifying the Critical Path of the project and work on how to reduce the project lead-time etc.

• Reviewed existing designs periodically for potential improvements, leading to ongoing enhancements in product offerings.
• Assisted in creating prototypes for hands-on evaluation purposes before moving into full-scale production.
• Ensured adherence to safety regulations throughout all stages of the design process, minimizing risks associated with potential hazards.
• Assisted design engineers with major and minor project details
• Learned new skills quickly in a high-stakes atmosphere
• Performed well enough to be offered a job upon completion of the Training Period.
• Worked effectively in fast-paced environments.
