Work History

Vehicle Dynamics Engineer

BAJA SAE India
03.2024 - Current
  • Validated complete vehicle geometry by integrating CAD models and ensuring dimensional accuracy and assembly correctness for dynamic simulation in MSC Adams. Conducted extensive multi-body dynamic simulations to evaluate and optimize key performance parameters, including vehicle stability, ride comfort, and handling characteristics under various operating conditions. Applied advanced modeling techniques to assess the impact of suspension geometry, mass distribution, and external forces, contributing to data-driven design improvements and enhanced vehicle performance.

Design Engineer

BAJA SAE India
03.2022 - Current
  • Design and Development of ATV upright design for BAJA SAE India by selecting advanced materials, reducing weight by 20%, and enhancing structural rigidity. Leveraged cutting-edge simulation tools to ensure a higher factor of safety and optimized performance. Achieved significant improvements in durability and reliability under challenging off-road conditions. As the geometry lead, I designed and optimized the vehicle’s structural layout, achieving a harmonious balance between weight distribution, and stability. Focused was on peak performance while adhering to safety standards.
