Shikhar Kumar

• Worked on design updates and specification improvements for Quicke front loader components. • Used Solid Edge and Teamcenter for CAD modelling, drafting, and engineering documentation. • Supported assembly optimisation and production-oriented design improvements. • Reviewed drawings and design data with focus on accuracy, manufacturability, and documentation quality.

• Investigated alternative materials for heavy-duty electric truck battery frames. • Compared aluminium with thermoplastic composite materials for lightweight and sustainability-focused design. • Performed CAD design, simulation, material selection, mechanical testing, and thermal evaluation. • Evaluated glass-fibre reinforced PA6 composite materials for structural battery frame applications.

• Gained exposure to rolling stock systems, depot operations, and metro maintenance workflows. • Observed inspection and maintenance activities for metro rail components and subsystems. • Learned how engineering, operations, and maintenance teams coordinate in a rail transport environment.

• Gained exposure to aircraft manufacturing processes, including CNC machining and component production. • Observed assembly processes related to the Dornier 228 aircraft. • Developed understanding of workshop practices, production planning, and engineering coordination in an aerospace manufacturing environment.

Specialization in Machine Design.
