Mujahid — Mechanical Engineer

May 2018- Present Culligan International, Libertyville, IL Mechanical Engineer (Contract): - Designing components and assemblies for industrial and commercial grade water processing units. - Carrying out design, weight calculations and conducting design review of custom water filters/softener. - Performing standardization of custom products, verify and update the designs on company's database. - Successfully achieved a reduction of 8 hours in assembly time through optimization of assembly process. - Generating engineering drawings of the assemblies and components, incorporate GD&T and Bill of Materials (BOM) before releasing data for manufacturing

February 2016 - December 2017 Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL Research Assistant: - Developed an intelligent 3D Transient Thermal Finite Element Model (APDL Code) to study the thermal histories of a ceramic (Si 3 N 4 ) tube undergoing Laser Assisted Machining (LAM). - Performed mesh convergence and created post processing macros to read results and study the effect of individual process parameters on variation of temperature induced into the tubes. - Verified FE results with experimental results and predicted effect of thickness on temperature variation. Teaching Assistant: - Prepared tutorials for software packages Creo, ANSYS APDL & Workbench, and documented ABET report. - Conducted and graded quizzes, exams and assignments for courses CAD/CAM, Finite Element Method (FEM), and CAD of Mechanical System

November 2016 3D Printed Gearbox Design Challenge (NIU) - Designed a gearbox consisting of 3 gear sets, offering a gear ratio of 4:1 to lift a load of 1lb to a minimum of 6 inches, used design principles to determine the diameter of shafts, number of teeth - Accommodated 10% tolerance to avoid fusion of gearbox walls with gears during the SLS process

GPA:3.7/4.0
