  Worked on developing and maintaining software of the Autonomous Mobile Robot, used for material movement in industries. Experienced in developing python programs, specially control systems. Familiar with PID controllers, MPC control and Kalman Filters. Have intermediate working knowledge of Python and basic programming knowledge of C++. Worked on the design of electric vehicles, to autonomously transport goods in factories and warehouses. I was responsible for designing thermal management solutions for all electronics used on the vehicle. My role includes chassis design, sheet-metal enclosure design, prototyping, testing sub-systems, and deploying the product. I use Onshape and Solidworks for CAD design, Simscale and Ansys Icepak for CFD/ Conjugate Heat Transfer Analysis.
