## Work experience

Engineering Intern — R&D / Energy Systems at Bharat Electronics Limited \(BEL\), Feb 2026 \- Apr 2026 · 3 mos, Bengaluru, Conducted techno\-economic design for a 150 W hybrid electric marine propulsion system targeting 6\-month continuous operation; performed energy throughput analysis \(648 kWh raw / 900 kWh effective at η=0\.90, DoD=0\.80\) and sized a 10 kWh LiFePO4 battery pack against a 350 kg payload constraint\. Evaluated solar PV integration using 2×600 Wp panels \(23\.23% efficiency, Vmp=44\.78 V\) with MPPT control; confirmed energy\-positive operation with 6 kWh/day generated vs\. 4\.33 kWh/day consumed\. Simulated PV\-to\-battery charging in MATLAB/Simulink using a Perturb & Observe MPPT algorithm; validated 940 W PV output, steady\-state battery current 13 A, and SOC stabilization at 67 V under STC \(1000 W/m², 25°C\)\. Drafted defense\-grade electronic circuit schematics in OrCAD Capture; produced design documentation compliant with BEL R&D standards\.

Industrial Exposure — Substation Operations at BESCOM, Jul 2025 \- Jul 2025 · 1 mo, India, Studied operational characteristics of 11 kV Ring Main Units \(RMUs\) with SF6 insulation, Load Break Switches, and Vacuum Circuit Breakers; observed SCADA\-based Local/Remote switching and observed metering for real\-time V, I, and energy monitoring\. Traced the single\-line diagram of a 220/66/11 kV KPTCL substation; identified Gas Circuit Breakers, 3000/1 A multi\-core CTs \(accuracy class 0\.2 & 5P10\), PTs, and double\-bus topology; conducted distribution transformer field inspection \(oil level, BDV, earthing, breather, HT/LT lugs, GOS contacts\)\. Studied rooftop solar net metering interconnection; traced signal path from PV array through MPPT grid\-tied inverter, uni\-directional solar meter, and bi\-directional net meter to the utility distribution network\.
