About

Shikhar Saraswat is a Senior CAE Engineer at Yazaki North America, who is driven by innovation and has a passion for technical strategy consulting, IIoT4.0, and R&D. He is highly skilled in CFD simulation tools such as CONVERGE, STAR CCM+, and ANSYS CFX, as well as post-processing tools like ParaView. Shikhar has expertise in new product design and development, PPAP trials, APQP documentation, process FMEA, machine and process validation, and customer relationship management. Shikhar has a career objective of seeking opportunities in the domain of CFD and engine simulations, where he can apply his knowledge of fluid simulations while working on tools like ANSYS ANSA, CONVERGE, and STAR CMM+ for thermal, IC engine, and external aerodynamic analysis. He has also developed numerical analysis skills for automating using MATLAB, OpenFOAM, and SIMULINK for further applying them in battery management system for electric powertrain development. With over 4.28 years of relevant experience, Shikhar has worked with companies such as L&T, Amber Enterprises India Limited, and Argl Ltd. At Amber Enterprises India Limited, he led a team of simulation engineers and was responsible for project lead for CFD and thermal simulation for new product development in terms of RAC. He also dealt with flow simulation of commercial AC manufacturing for clients like Daikin, Mahindra, Jhon Deere, and LG. Shikhar proposed VA/VE solutions based on CFD simulations for faster project execution and implemented the simulation to develop a prototype by pre-estimating the mass flow rates and pressure drop while determining the cooling capacity for the complete unit using ANSYS CFX. Shikhar's education history includes a Master's degree in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Design & Simulation from Skill-Lync and a Bachelor of Technology (BTech) in Mechanical Engineering from Jaipur Engineering College & Research Center. He is proficient in technologies such as test, JavaScript, product designer, infra, research scientist, ML, Apache Airflow, big data, ETL, integration, software engineer, and senior software engineer.
