Work experience

Product Design Development Engineer at 2L Engineers, Jul 2025 - Present · 1 yr 4 mos, Hubli, Designed and developed Non-Slam Check Valves with complete product lifecycle ownership from concept to production-ready documentation. Prepared General Assembly (GA) drawings with detailed BOM, tolerances, and annotations compliant with ASME, API, and EN international standards. Performed Linear Static FEA simulations in SolidWorks Simulation to validate structural integrity and identify stress concentrations under operational loads. Conducted CFD analysis in SolidWorks Flow Simulation to evaluate fluid flow behaviour, pressure drop, and valve performance characteristics. Assisted in product development by performing hand calculations for spring design, force analysis, and load estimation to support design decisions. Collaborated with the development team to iterate on designs based on simulation results, ensuring performance targets and safety margins were met. Prepared Installation and Operation Manuals (IOM) for valve products, ensuring clear technical communication for end users and field engineers. Developed API-compliant technical documentation, ensuring all product data sheets and design records meet API standard requirements. Independently designed and developed a Non-Return Valve (NRV) from scratch — applied industry design standards, performed spring calculations for cracking pressure and flow resistance, and validated performance through CFD simulation in SolidWorks Flow Simulation.
