Abhinav Prakash: Project Engineer

* Designed innovative mounting techniques to suspend components weighing up to 500lbs in a public area * Design Audio-Video (A/V) systems worth $500,000 consisting of displays, cameras, racks and networking hardware * Conducted Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on existing systems and reconfigured/replaced system elements * Decreased design process time by 20%, by collaborating with estimators to generate sales quote * Obtained highest customer satisfaction rating by building unique customer training program for each system * Assisted Project Manager to liaise with vendors and customers, optimizing inventory, maintaining timeframes.

* Led a team of four, to model 3 different setup ideas for an erosion-corrosion experiment using Solidworks, and fabricated optimal setup in terms of cost and material requirements * Established a flow rate of about 2GPM by designing a hydraulic circuit to connect pump, valves and eductor * Synthesized a system for maintaining constant water-sand mixing ratio in suspension and reduced budget by 50% * Conducted Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and DFMEA to isolate cause for constant leaking of tank.

* Designed a 200,000ft pipeline transporting water from an elevation of 2000ft to 4000ft using AFT Fathom * Developed foundation design for pump stations to estimate equipment requirement and project cost * Reiterated for design improvement by using multiple pumps, reducing material wastage, thus lowering cost by 33%

* Designed, fabricated and shipped a variety of mechanical products worth $15,000 and led a team of 8 technicians * Modeled design ideas for each project in Solidworks CAD software which were presented during design reviews * Complied with customer specified guidelines to receive good customer rating by drawing models with 3D CAD * Lowered development cost by 25% by Using DFA/DFM techniques on the mechanical design * Estimated project costs for each project by creating a Bill of Material (BOM) and defining a procurement strategy * Refined design producing over 100 variations by using analysis techniques such as FEA and CFD using ANSYS
