Mantri Metallics Pvt Ltd. Kolhapur, India.
Robotics Engineer
• Devised the working and applications of the FANUC R-2000 robot for the pick and place operations of casted products to increase smart manufacturing adoption rates by about 20% over three months.
• Controlled and managed the motors, sensors, and conveyor systems with the use of Allen-Bradley PLC’s, in the manufacturing of the whole process by relay derived ladder logic. Designed a path frame for the robot to carry a casted job from and to the CNC machine and the conveyor belt using a teach pendant and adding reference waypoints to ensure smooth and collision free motion. Automated the process and ensured immediate closure to production issues. Reduced production escalations, efficient manufacturing, and potential issue occurrences by over 20%. -

Harman International, India.
Test Engineering Intern
• Devised recursive tests and aided in setting up test beds for Printed Circuit Boards (PCB’s) for the audio and infotainment systems installed in automotive industry.
• Created a well thought-out and improved way of individual component development, production, operation, service and decommissioning according to the ISO standards to ensure high level safety is built into car components from the start.
• Used test data to reduce boot-up failures in boards, improving reliability significantly and used issue-tracking softwares like Jira and Agile to effectively manage various projects simultaneously.
• Implemented DFT techniques to add testability features to a hardware product design along with integrated circuit board testing methods to evaluate specific part of the process without designing a complex integrated circuit. -
