Pritam Waghode

As an electronics engineer in the formula student team responsible for designing a battery management system for a 44V battery pack to be used on a DUT24 vehicle and designing a power converter board for a DUT24 vehicle, capable of powering the entire low voltage and autonomous system.

As an associate engineer worked on designing schematics and harnesses for CAT and FG Wilson genset packages on CREO for NPI projects ranging from 30kVA to 2500kVA. As an electrical engineer had the responsibility of working on working on the selection of harness components and other electro-mechanical components for different projects based on the location of the production facility. and on the integration of alternators, AVRs, and breakers with the engine, base frame, and rest of the electrical system.

During three years, played various roles in the team starting from the data acquisition engineer to leading the E-Powertrain and Electronics system during the final year. Worked on many different areas such as validation of the suspension system, designing of safety electronics circuit for the team's first electric vehicle, optimizing PCBs and battery pack design for better thermal management and performance, modeling of the wiring harness on CATIA and battery pack on MATLAB for simulations.
