Mechanical Engineering Intern
Easton, United States — Jan 2025 – May 2025

Led mechanical design and validation for 5+ clients, driving new product introduction (NPI) from concept to production release for high-volume manufacturing (50K–100K+ units annually) using injection molding, CNC machining, and sheet metal fabrication.
Designed test fixtures for V&V and a chip-on-glass LED illumination device for a biosafety cabinet, optimizing thermal dissipation by 78% and simplifying assembly to reduce COGS.
Negotiated and partnered with U.S. manufacturers to cut product launch timelines by 80% and lower costs by 25%; coordinated DFMA with vendors to ensure rapid iteration, and prepared 2D drawings and BOMs to support manufacturing.

New Product Development Intern (R&D)
Trumbull, United States — May 2024 – Aug 2024

Initiated and prototyped Auto Integra, an automated ICSI micromanipulator with ±2µm precision and CV-based embryo segmentation; improved conception rates by 126.2%.
Engineered a magnet-Hall sensor system to detect IVF incubator lid position, optimizing Neodymium magnet placement to improve gas purge efficiency by 83%.
Authored bench test protocols, led usability studies, and supported packaging for Class III IUDs in cross-functional FDA NDA-stage projects.

Vehicle Quality & Engineering Intern
Ananthapur, India — Feb 2023 – May 2023

Eliminated critical water leakage in Kia Carens by redesigning weatherstrip geometry, tailgate alignment, and drip channels; reduced defect rate from 62% to 0.
Reduced Kia Seltos cowl assembly time by 40% through interface redesign; validated through thermal chamber testing and failure analysis.
Boosted First Time Yield by over 70% and improved OEE by resolving sealing variation via die correction and SPC-based process control.

Engineering Intern
Hyderabad, India — Jul 2022 – Aug 2022

Evaluated RDF feed properties (moisture content, calorific value) to improve combustion efficiency, enhancing boiler thermal stability by 10%.
Supported deployment of a drone-based deodorization system through field validation, route mapping, and odor monitoring, cutting complaints by 60%.
