Ing. Vamsikrishna Kagithala

Founded an engineering consulting and services startup, which promotes product development and engineering through innovation and collaboration. Key areas of interest: +Robotics +Automotive Industry +E-Mobility +Food Industry

Supported technology companies and startups with new product development and engineering as a freelancer.

+Led the team as deputy to the Head of the design and co-oordinated projects with customers, suppliers, project management and manufacturing. +Developed a product configurator software for the sales team, to automate creation of machine design from 3D-models to technical documentation. Successfully eliminated manual work by engineers and provided sales team with direct interface to create standard machine design. +Supported the department of design with training in technical skills and onboarding.

+Designed and built a prototype of an optimized Infrared radiation system for Automotive testing, which helped in reducing overall cost, increase structural stability and better thermal performance. +Successfully developed and implemented automation in creation of machince design using product configurator. Overall development type for future projects reduced from approx. 5 days to a few minutes. +Been rewarded with a grade of 1.3/4.0 (1.0 being the highest) for my Master Thesis for extraordinary work.

+Helped the department of research and design in designing and creating project technical documentation for special machinery intended for Automotive testing. +Learned about german work-culture and ethics, which helped me in later stages of my career. +Secured a research project for my Master Thesis upon exceptional performance during my internship.

+As part of my curriculum during my Masters degree, I developed a educational working model of a home automation system for students. +The system included a wooden prototype of design model of a house, circuit board of home automation system on breadboard for testing and programmable PLC system with a ladder logic to control the shome automation system. +Successfully simulated Automated light System, Kitchen Safety System and Windows Security System, which were later used as a demo model for students.

+Voluntary involvement with HSRW Submarine team, where i helped the team in designing and building a human powered propulsion system to power a Submarine for an International Submarine race. +Designed 3D models of base, mechanism frame, chain drive system and pitch limiters using Solidworks. +Performed structural analysis and confirmed suitability of designed components using Ansys Workbench.

+Designed and built many manual robots for various common day-to-day applications. +Many merit achievements in several national competitions for Robotics.

+Worked on inefficiencies of an engine as part of my Bachelors Thesis. +Reduced engine oil consumption approximately by 15 times after replacing faulty piston rings in a serial production of engines.

+My first experience in a professional role, learned how an R&D team functions. +Gained firsthand experience in emission and consumption testing on engines used for Marine applications and Heavy vehicles.
