About Manu P.

Hi I’m Manu Pullan a Mechatronics Engineer with 3+ years of experience in CAD custom machine design robotics automation product testing validation and technical documentation. In my most recent role as a Requirements Analyst at Swoop Aero I improved the blade angles of drones in SolidWorks for better control in different wind conditions. Using FEA I calculated the maximum liftable load capacity and integrated graphene batteries in a prototype to improve flight duration. Overall controllability increased by 32% and energy density by 41% without increasing weight. As a Product Designer at Tough Industries I used SolidWorks to create CADs and performed FEA for fatigue and stress of tow bars and their accessories such as dog-bone locks and dash latches. I also applied materials in SolidWorks to find alloys with more resistance to fatigue for custom tow bar designs. At CSIRO as a Mechanical Design Engineer Intern I designed an automatic test bed for solar cells that included a rotating feeder system to hold 96 cells a SCARA robotic arm to transfer cells to the test holder and a rotating test holder that automatically adjusts for various angles under a solar lamp. My Key Engineering skills include: ✔𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻: Designed and simulated machines and equipment such as robotic arms tow bars and solenoid valves using SolidWorks including material requirements FEA for heat transfer fatigue and stress and system flow to calculate product speed or power transfer between components. ✔𝗙𝗘𝗔: Performed FEA simulations in SolidWorks for stress fatigue analysis on parts of equipment/machines such as drones for calculating liftable load capacity tow bars to determine maximum pullable load and solenoid valves to compute maximum pressure capacity. ✔𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Performed testing and validation on test beds for products such as electromagnetic switches coils and capacitors at Indian Solenoids. Designed and set up a test bed in CSIRO to test solar cells including the feeder system transfer system and test holder. ✔𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Designed multiple robotic arms including SCARA for a CSIRO project a delta robotic arm for Ensign Laboratories and a 6-axis robotic arm for a Bachelor projects. Successfully completed automation projects such as real-time hand mimicking robotic arm automatic test bed for 96 solar cells and automatic bottle cap transfer system. 📧Feel free to contact me at manu.pullan@gmail.com
