## Work experience

Product Engineer \- Transmission Calibration at Ford Motor Company, Feb 2020 \- Present · 6 yrs 6 mos, Greater Detroit Area

System Simulation and Calibration Engineer at hofer powertrain, Jan 2016 \- Jan 2020 · 4 yrs 1 mo, Troy, Michigan, Involved in automatic transmission systems simulation, calibration, testing and validation \(MIL, HIL, Dyno and In\-Vehicle\) Tools: Matlab/Simulink, ETAS\-INCA, MDA, Vector\-CANape \(analysis\), NI DIAdem

Research Assistant at Indian Institute of Science, Aug 2013 \- Jun 2014 · 11 mos, Bengaluru Area, India, Worked as Research Assistant under Principal Research Scientist V\.Surendra Nath at the Aerospace Department\(Open Circuit Wind Tunnel\) \. Project: AERO\-ELASTIC STUDIES ON REUSABLE LAUNCH VEHICLE\-TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATOR \(RLV\-TD\) Tasks carried out: • Design and fabrication of 1:15 scale aero\-elastic composite model of RLV\-TD, along with launch pedestal and umbilical tower\. • Wind tunnel testing of the model at various wind angles to determine model tip\-acceleration \(using LVDT\), base bending moment, shear force, vortex shedding, frequencies and mode shapes corresponding to first lateral mode\. • Spectral analysis of external force data from balance to identify vortex shedding\. Hot\-wire anemometer studies to compliment the above studies\. • Measured and studied steady and oscillatory amplitude response of the tip using Linear Variable Displacement Transformer \(LVDT\) and accelerometers respectively\. • Measured and analyzed turbulent velocity profile using a 16\-channel pitot static tube rake\. • Smoke and tuft flow visualization\.
