Shubham Pathak

Benchmarked competitor ABS products and contributed to concept design. Modeled system behavior in MATLAB/Simulink and explored valve concepts for fluid pressure control. Applied electromagnetism principles and used ANSYS Maxwell to simulate electromagnetic valves. Oversaw CFD studies on hydraulic unit designs and supported initial feasibility tests. Explored an optical sensing mechanism for throttle applications, leading to a patent filing. Modeled sensor response, tested accuracy in lab conditions

Developed concepts for an electronic steering lock actuator for electric two-wheelers. Performed design calculations, FEA, and DVP tests on early prototypes. Integrated optical switches for position sensing and assessed durability and compliance through verification tests.

Led an 80-member interdisciplinary team in designing, manufacturing, and testing two Formula Student race cars (combustion & electric). Oversaw full vehicle lifecycle, technical compliance, and project execution under strict timelines and budgets. Represented the team at international competitions, securing podium finishes at Formula Bharat and a top-6 rank at Formula Student Germany.

Engineered and validated drivetrain systems including gearbox, differential, and driveshafts. Focused on weight optimization, efficiency, and durability through CAD/CAE simulations and track testing.
