I am an optimistic and energetic Mechanical Engineer who believes in creative and innovative solutions to the challenging problems.
I completed my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Chicago and currently looking for a full-time opportunity.
I have an extensive experience in the following fields:
-
Design, analysis, testing and prototype validation of automotive structures, components, systems, and assemblies.
-
Extensive experience with CAD, CAE and FEA tools such as AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, ProE, CATIA, MSC ADAMS, and ANSYS.
-
Experienced with programming languages such as MATLAB/Simulink, C & C++, JAVA, Python and Arduino IDE.
I am open to relocation anywhere in the US and I am open to both Direct Hire and Contract full-time positions.
