Work Experience

Research Intern — Lucas TVS

May 2022 – Jun 2022 | Chennai, India

At Lucas TVS, I worked closely with both the production and R&D teams, gaining hands-on experience in automotive manufacturing and product innovation. My responsibilities included monitoring large-scale production workflows and assisting with research initiatives.

Key contributions:

• Supervised assembly lines for alternators, starters, motors, and wipers, gaining insight into mass production processes and workflow optimization.
• Collaborated with the R&D department to explore new product innovations and evaluate emerging technologies for future automotive applications.
• Developed an understanding of how manufacturing processes intersect with research and product development, bridging practical assembly-line practices with engineering innovation.

This internship provided valuable industry exposure in production engineering, process optimization, and applied research, complementing my academic work in robotics and automation.

Research Intern — WIKA Group

Jun 2022 – Jul 2022 | Chennai, India

During this internship, I worked with the engineering team at WIKA Group, focusing on the design and production of industrial sensors used for flow, temperature, and pressure measurement. I gained exposure to the full lifecycle of industrial instrumentation—from conceptual design to final calibration.

Key contributions:

• Supported the design and prototyping of precision measurement devices used in industrial sensing applications.
• Assisted in sensor calibration procedures, ensuring accuracy and compliance with industry standards.
• Learned about quality control practices and the importance of maintaining reliability in industrial instrumentation systems.

This experience strengthened my understanding of sensor technologies and measurement systems, knowledge that continues to influence my work in robot perception and sensing systems.
