WORK EXPERIENCE

Lexmark International, Lexington, KY (04/2006 – Present)

• As a lead product development engineer for the Multi Function Printers (MFP) group, I

am responsible for research, design & development of the new color All in One printer.

• Responsibilities include designing conceptual models, building prototypes, testing and

verifying various parts of a scanner, meet the spec requirements mechanically using CAD

software IDEAS and electrically using multimeters and Oscilloscope.

• Constantly traveled to Asia (China, Taiwan etc) for various manufacturing builds to

inspect the plastic parts, looking at Cp/Cpk data, identifying tooling related issues on the

plastic parts, supervise the production process and ensure that the product is meeting the

specs.

• Need to ensure that all the part drawings and BOM’s are up to the correct revision levels

using PLM matrix application.

• Work with various cross functional teams like product safety, reliability, service,

packeaging etc. to make sure that the printers are meeting US safety standards.

• Troubleshoot any problem that occurs in the product assurance lab.

• Always looking out for cost effective solutions at the same time meeting safety,

reliability etc requirements.

• Need to provide regular status updates and presentations to mangers.

• Addressing customer related problems for announced products.

Siemens VDO Automotive Corp., Huntsville, AL (Jan – Dec’ 2005)

• As a Co-op for the Electronics & Drivetrain group, I worked on various projects

conducting Thermal Analysis and Simulation for drivetrain modules such as GMT900

(GMC), UXCU etc. using FLOTHERM.

• Conducted Strain gage analysis on IDM modules to detect the root cause of the burned

capacitor on the PCB. The data was collected using Yokogawa DC 100 Data Collector.

• Used the Thermal IR Camera to capture thermal images of the hot components in the

24V ECM and 24V IDM modules. The images were subsequently compared with the use

of thermocouples and calibrated meter.

• Used INSTRON (5 KN) to find the PCB releasing force for a Press-fit Connection on a

GMT900 module.

• Using SAP, I helped the Mechanical group in creating and modifying the BOM's,

changing materials, correcting Trace Codes etc. to name a few.

• Using the Risk Management Tool IQ-FMEA, I modified the function and failure analysis

part of 24V IDM.

• Apart from all the above, I was also involved in making corrections to ISTR (Initial

Sample Test Reports), helped in preparing the G8D PCM-Cracked Vias report.
