Work History
Design Engineer
RKS Design & Engineering LLC
Surat
10.2018 - 04.2023
- Drafted routine 2D working sketches, layouts, and manufacturing drawings from 3D SolidWorks models/assemblies for telecom infrastructure (e.g., Platform/T-Sector/T-Boom/V-Sector mounts, Monopole/Self-support/Guyed towers), adhering to common drafting standards and supporting clients like TMobile, AT&T, and Crown Castle.
- Updated and maintained 3D SolidWorks models/assemblies and generated/ revised detailed 2D manufacturing drawings (including sheet metal designs) for telecom infrastructure (e.g., mounts, towers), ensuring as-built/as-released accuracy, adherence to standards, and alignment with engineering requirements.
- Supported engineers with drawing revisions, change documentation, and quality checks; managed drawing system integrity by organizing project files, tracking revisions, and flagging discrepancies to maintain consistency across 50+ projects.
- Created and maintained BOM-related elements through material/equipment selections, specifications, estimates, and production packages; incorporated basic engineering aspects (e.g., sizing, stress considerations) to optimize manufacturability and achieve 15% faster project timelines.
- Produced supporting documentation (manufacturing reports, mapping reports) and collaborated with fabrication partners (e.g., Sunland Welding) to streamline processes, identify efficiencies, and ensure accurate data transfer from CAD to production.
Design Engineer
Bhagat Group
Sachin
04.2023 - 07.2024
- Developed fabrication and as-built drawings in AutoCAD and SolidWorks for textile machinery, applying GD&T principles (datums, feature control frames, tolerance stack-ups) with detailed dimensioning and material selection to ensure CNC manufacturability.
- Created and updated BOMs, performed drawing revisions, and conducted design validation checks to improve accuracy and reduce errors by 20%.
- Collaborated with engineering and production teams to resolve design issues, ensure compliance with specifications, and support manufacturing processes.
- Prepared technical documentation, reports, and project coordination materials using MS Office while maintaining high data accuracy and process standards.
