ABOUT NIKHIL NAYAK
I’m a dedicated Mechanical Engineer with a passion for simulation, product design, and sustainability-driven innovation. I recently completed my Master of Professional Engineering (Accelerated) at the University of Sydney, where I advanced my skills in thermofluids, solid mechanics, FEA, and control systems. I also hold a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering (First Class with Distinction) from Srinivas University, where I was awarded the Gold Medal and the Padma Shri Dr. S. K. Shivakumar Innovation Award by the Government of Karnataka.During my internship at Gurit, I helped optimize composite material manufacturing by developing SOPs, streamlining workflows, and driving quality improvements. I collaborated with cross-functional teams to identify bottlenecks and implement data-backed solutions that enhanced overall operational performance.My technical toolkit includes SolidWorks, Creo, MATLAB, Python, ANSYS, LS-DYNA, and a growing command of simulation and control tools. I’ve led and contributed to projects involving:Natural fibre composites for packagingLS-DYNA crash simulation for UAV structuresSolar still modeling in ANSYS FluentSmart infrastructure and health-tech—now protected under two Australian patentsMy certifications include:Six Sigma Green Belt (PMI & IIBA)Operational Excellence & RCA (PMI)Electric Vehicle Powertrain Fundamentals (Skill-Lync)Geospatial Applications (ISRO)Mechanics of Materials (Georgia Tech)Reverse Engineering & Digital Manufacturing (LinkedIn Learning)I thrive in collaborative, multidisciplinary environments and am currently exploring opportunities in mechanical design, simulation, R&D, and innovation-led engineering. Let’s connect if you’re working at the intersection of engineering, sustainability, and impact.
