About Rahul Mazumder

Seasoned Mechanical Engineering Professional with 7 years of experience in the oilfield tools industry, specializing in design engineering, finite element analysis (FEA), and product development. My work focuses on developing reliable, high-performance drilling and well-construction tools that meet ISO, ASME, and API standards while improving safety, efficiency, and sustainability in field operations.At SLB in Pune, I design, validate, and enhance complex mechanical assemblies such as underreamers, stabilizers, and mud motors. My role involves creating CAD models, performing FEA using ANSYS, and applying engineering calculations through Mathcad and hand analysis. I have delivered multiple design improvements from inline strainers and flow tubes to erosion-resistant sleeves and low-cost whipstocks, ensuring higher tool life and reduced downtime.Alongside technical design, I author detailed technical manuals and mentor engineers to ensure precision and consistency across projects.Throughout my professional journey, I have combined mechanical design principles with computational and data-driven methods. With a foundation in Programming and Data Science from IIT Madras and a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from NIT Silchar, I integrate structured modeling, numerical analysis, and AI tools to refine engineering outcomes and decision-making.Selected Achievements: Reward of Excellence – Power Pak Mud Motor modification (G2 section) Reward of Excellence – Wired Rhino XM (all sizes) Reward of Excellence – RG3 13.375” underreamer development Reward of Excellence – FEA for modified Hole Opener 1st place – STSI Eureka Stream Champs technical quiz (2024)| 2nd place (2025) Ranked 1st in Northeast India with 99% marks in IIT Madras’ Programming & Data Science qualifierCore Competencies:CAD Design (PTC Creo, CATIA, SolidWorks) Finite Element Analysis (ANSYS) Mechanical Design Calculations Product Development API, ASME & ISO Standards Mathcad & MATLAB Python & Excel VBA Technical Documentation I’m dedicated to strengthening my technical foundation through advanced certifications and hands-on involvement in challenging R&D projects. I’m also growing my leadership capabilities to guide teams and contribute to impactful engineering solutions. In parallel, I’m exploring AI and data applications in mechanical design to enhance performance and innovation in the energy and manufacturing industries.If you wish to contact me you can contact me on my mail id: r••••••••@gmail.com
