Design Engineer Nov 16 – Jul 19
Sigma Electric Manufacturing Corporation Pvt. Ltd. | Pune, India
• Reduced number of trial productions by designing industrial products and simulating mold flow with Magma soft for
high pressure die casting process. Used windchill and EPDM solidworks for data management
• Designed feed system and tooling construction for new products for GDC and HPDC molding processes
• Coordinated 10+ teams and modified die design concept, feed system and accomplished cost saving up to $40,000
through yield % improvement, rejection reduction, and cycle time reduction
• Developed the standards and checklists for magma simulation results based on prior success and failure of casting
defects to minimize the required lead time in concept design stage by 20%
• Improved the concept design based on lean principles such as SMED to achieve required cycle time and reduced 30%
machining time by changing the location of the feeding system.
