Design Intern
Soudamini Instruments
- Modelled scaled 3 ft Plate Girder, Bowstring and Through Girder bridges in CATIA V5 from engineering drafts
- Drew 2D fabrication drawings in AutoCAD for CNC laser cutting
- Calculated wheel-centre distances and bolster alignment for ICF and CASNUB bogie underframes
- Ran one production line: laser cutting, resin printing, UV post-curing, puttying, drilling and tapping
- Oct – Dec 202502
Research Intern
DRDO-associated project at CCOEW
- Calculated orthographic projected areas by theory and validated them against SolidWorks — 0.05% error
- Analysed failure modes and criticality of drone flight-control components: accelerometers, gyroscopes, damping
- Oct 2024 – Aug 2025Case study →
