Experience
Senior Cae Specialist (Cfd)
Jul 2021 — Present · Pune, IN
Descriptions:I led CFD modeling and validation for dryer airflow systems with focus on thermal performance, NVH, and combustion. I also managed simulation-driven development to reduce cycle times and enhance energy efficiency.Achievements- Led simulation-driven airflow and thermal design for dryers using Ansys Fluent, increasing drying efficiency by 15% and cutting energy use by 30%- Upgraded washer-dryer energy efficiency rating from Class E to B through 100% simulation-based validation- Designed and validated ventilation safety features using combustion modeling, maintaining CO₂ levels <4% as per global child-safety regulations- Built multi-domain CFD models to support NVH, thermal, and structural teams, reducing reliance on prototypes and accelerating design cycles- Achieved 4 patents for airflow, performance, and safety innovations, and 1 trade secret- Trained and mentored junior engineers, fostering internal CFD expertise and best practices.
