VEERAMALLU PHANI CHATURVEDI

Project 1: Parkhurst – Product Design & Manufacturing

Role: Sr. Design Engineer
Overview:
Contributed to end-to-end product development for commercial components, focusing on sheet metal and machined parts for various applications.

Key Contributions:

• Developed detailed project proposals for clients, clearly outlining design intent, scope, and delivery timelines.
• Verified design compliance with internal specifications and industry standards to ensure manufacturability and regulatory adherence.
• Drafted comprehensive documentation including 2D drawings, tolerance stacks, and BOMs to support downstream fabrication and assembly.
• Designed and modeled custom components using CAD tools, optimized for precision machining and efficient sheet metal fabrication.

Project 2: Cummins Aerospace – Aerospace Component Modelling

Role: Sr. Design Engineer
Overview:
Focused on the design and development of aerospace-grade components, particularly forged parts, for Cummins’ aerospace applications.

Key Contributions:

• Worked on high-precision aerospace components including aluminum and steel forgings, ensuring conformance to tight tolerances and aerospace standards.
• Collaborated with cross-functional engineering and manufacturing teams to address design-for-manufacture (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) constraints.
• Created detailed 3D models and 2D drawings adhering to aerospace documentation practices, including GD&T.
• Utilized SolidWorks, with a strong emphasis on advanced surfacing techniques, to model complex forged geometries and ensure manufacturability in aerospace environments.

Internal Automation Projects

Objective: To streamline repetitive engineering and HR-related tasks through automation, reducing manual effort and improving efficiency across departments.

• Drawing to PDF Automation Tool:
  Developed a utility that converts drawings from designated folders into PDFs, auto-aligns them based on the Bill of Materials (BOM), merges them, and adds a prefaced cover page with page numbers. The output is a ready-to-release production pack for shop floor teams.
• Resume Screening & Job Match Tool:
  Built an automation tool that parses resumes and rates them against a given job description. Evaluation criteria include relevant experience, proficiency in CAD tools, and education background. This tool enables the HR team to quickly identify and prioritize the most suitable candidates for technical roles.

• Designed and validated components using CREO. Managed BOM in SAP and lifecycle in Agile PLM. Reviewed drafts and ensured design compliance.

• Delivered >10 machines including heat sealers and leak testers. Performed structural/thermal analysis and optimized for manufacturability.

• Installed battery machines globally, recommended design improvements, and trained in the US for advanced equipment.

• Researched NiSiC coatings on aluminum alloys, resulting in >50% durability improvement under harsh conditions.
