  Nov 2021 - now

  Sr Design Engineer

  11/2021 - Present· As a part of the seven-member team, my responsibilities are to support the Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA)engineering teams in the area of Dimensional Management, GD and T & tolerance stackup analysis studies for Chassis,cab , mechatronics & other related aggregates.Tolerance stackup management-· These tasks are based on the request from the Engineers developing the parts & each one varies with respect to theobjective. Below is a brief update on the tasks carried out.· Was involved in the Short range radar(SRR) variation study mounted on the after treatment system. The radar ismounted on the step supporting bracket which is mounted on an after treatment system. The study was critical as theSRR had a calibration limit & the angular deviations had to be within the limit. As the variation was above the limit in theazimuth direction we proposed a refinement in GD&T along with the possible tolerance changes along with the rejectionrate.The same kind of study was carried out for Bumper mounted, side battery box mounted, Hood mounted SRR setups.·Executed a task from the manufacturing plant wherein the DEF tank mounted on the frame was at an odd angle. Wewere able to detect the cause i,e geometric effect of the mounting bracket & proposed a refinement in the tolerancevalue which was implemented.·Other tasks include finding the minimum gap between the front cross members & the front box (HV battery mount) withthe cooling radiators for the EM2 BEV trucks.Resolution of Battery cover mounting misalignment with the Battery packfor the same vehicle.
