Work History

Deputy Principal Engineer

Alten India Pvt Ltd
04.2023 - Current
  • Provided Performance recommendation to the Workscope Team and monitor the effectiveness of the recommendation
  • Recommend workscope team with the potential rework require to restore the engine performance to make sure overhauled engines successfully pass the pass-off test and comply with the safety regulations and meet the customer contractual agreement
  • Derived Testbed on-wing margin difference for TGT and Shaft speeds
  • The Goal of this study is to numerically derive the difference between the testbed and on-wing TGT and shaft speed margins
  • The aim of this study is to reduce the cost of rework on engines that will be subject to maintenance
  • Improvement carried out on this task: Derived testbed and on-wing TGT and shaft speed margins difference for different rework levels (for e.g., HPT Blades only) rather than using carpet difference for all reworks
  • Analysis of On-wing TGT and Shaft Speed margins deterioration trends and Weibulls derivation
  • Forecast TGT and shaft speed margin lives so that service business / planning team can plan for engine removals and corresponding shop visits
  • TGT and Shaft speed Weibulls are supplied to the Service Business Team in the form of Eta and Beta, these are used by business planning team for current flying and future engines
  • Study Workscope Effectiveness
  • The aim of this study is to quantify the change in key performance parameters from different workscopes performed on the engine
  • The output of this activity is used in recommending workscope
  • Slope correction for TGT and Shaft speed margins
  • On-wing TGT and Shaft Speed margin shows correlation with operational parameters such as altitude, Mach Number, DTAMB and PST
  • These may cause under or over prediction of available margins leading to in-service red-line events or earl removals
  • Mixed linear regression method is used to derive slope and offset required for margin correction.

Senior Lead Engineer

Alten India Pvt Ltd
02.2021 - 04.2023
  • Creation of Function Data for Design (FDD) Document which contains Steady State performance data to understand the performance impact regarding the new engine design iteration
  • This document is fed into sub-systems so that they can perform their component analysis
  • Understand the new engine design iteration to reflect this in the FDD scope
  • Revision of Design Factors to understand whether all the risks and assumptions are still applicable for this new Design Iteration
  • Get in touch with all the end customers / RR subsystem teams to ensure that all relevant cases are captured In the FDD
  • Work with the relevant subsystem teams when any new bids are required to be introduced for a specific case.

Lead Engineer

Quality Engineering and Software Technologies Priv
01.2018 - 12.2020
  • Technical Variance Support for Rolls Royce Civil and Business Jets”
  • Understanding and interpreting the issues raised on engine components/modules in shop against an Engine Manual/CIR
  • Investigate and propose solution from the historical data and engineering judgment like fit, form, function, etc
  • Demonstrate compliance with the applicable certification basis
  • Identify the opportunities to revise the existing Technical documents which can be relaxed for inspection criteria in order to reduce maintenance burden and life cycle cost for the part.

Senior Engineer

Quality Engineering and Software Technologies Pvt Ltd
07.2014 - 01.2018
  • Engine Health Monitoring Services for Large Civil Aero Engines and Business Jets”
  • Engine Condition Monitoring has benefited the airline operator across the globe by quantifying deterioration at the component level thus improving the performance of the engine, Planned Engine Removals, Reduced ground running of the engines, sharper maintenance and improved operational efficiency
  • Performance monitoring and Trend Analysis at Take-off, Cruise and climb for civil large engines
  • Successfully transitioned team of 7 members from Bangalore to Belgaum Location
  • Transition was carried out by acquiring new capability, creating and monitoring training plan and winning customer confidence through Business visit.

Engineer

Larsen and Toubro IES
06.2012 - 07.2014
  • Static Strength Analysis of Keel Beam Rear Damping Area (KB-RDA) Frame 61, 62 and 63 of A350-900XWB aircraft for Certification Phase
  • Linear Static, Modal and buckling analysis of Keel Beam Rear Damping Area
  • Fastener failure checks like pure shear, tension, shear bearing Interaction and Shear tension interaction
  • Stress dossier preparation as per AIRBUS standard.

Project Associate

Council of Scientific and Industrial Research IIT Madras
01.2010 - 06.2011
  • Worked as a Project Associate under Prof
  • P
  • A
  • Ramakrishna, Aerospace Department, IIT Madras, project titled “Experimental studies on hybrid rocket motors” sponsored by Aeronautical Research and Development Board (AR & DB)
  • Successfully designed an experimental cantilever beam set up to measure the thrust of model rocket motors to obtain the specific impulse
  • Data Acquisition was done using National Instruments System and data filtering/processing was carried in Matlab.
