## Work experience

Engineer at Genesis 16 Motorsports, Jun 2024 \- Present · 2 yrs 2 mos, Maharashtra, India

Lead at Genesis 16 Motorsports – SAE E\-Baja \(Electric Off\-Road Race Vehicle\), Aug 2023 \- Present · 3 yrs, Led complete overhaul of rack\-and\-pinion steering system — transitioned from spur to helical gear geometry, improving efficiency and load distribution; substituted EN19 steel with Aluminium 7075\-T6, delivering ∼40% subsystem weight reduction while satisfying all structural integrity requirements validated via Ansys FEA — a team\-first achievement\. Engineered the team’s first dynamic Brake Bias Adjustment System \(BBAS\), enabling real\-time front/rear brake force distribution tuning; currently in prototype validation on the E\-Baja 2026 competition vehicle and projected to improve overall handling performance by 15–18%\. Defined and iteratively refined steering and suspension hardpoints across multiple design loops to achieve target Ackermann geometry and desired handling characteristics, directly enhancing vehicle cornering behaviour\. Executed end\-to\-end design\-to\-validation workflow: SolidWorks CAD → MSC Adams Car kinematic simulation → Ansys Workbench FEA; developed custom calculation templates for Ackermann analysis, steering ratio verification, and hardpoint validation prior to physical prototype build\.
