Work Experience

Production Control Intern

Tesla, Inc. | Fremont, CA (May 2024 - August 2024)

  • Worked on the Material Handling Automation project for the General Assembly of Model 3.
  • Worked beyond the scope and took ownership by connecting with Teams of other facilities to learn their approach
  • Developed a Business case and Achieved a ROI of less than 2 years by designing a simulation in FlexSim and proposing a strategy that optimized workforce allocation, reducing headcounts through the deployment of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)

Robotics New Product development

Armstrong Machine Builders Pvt. Ltd. | Pune, India (July 2021 - May 2023)

  • Developed Autonomous Mobile Robot for Handling Pallets of 1 ton for warehouse Industry.
