Utsav Mudgal — Product Engineer

I am innovative and intellectually curious, with experience working in technical and techno-commercial projects. An encouraging, supportive, and result-oriented team player and team leader, evident in professional and academic projects. Currently, I am in the field of test engineering to work towards stronger data-driven design for sustainable advanced powertrain technology. I serve in an integral role in the test & validation projects for powertrain durability and HALT testing, contributing to the reliability development of electromechanical powertrain products. My career has exposed me to a diverse outlook through working with professionals in multiple domains. I have a master’s in aerospace engineering with a specialization in unmanned vehicle systems and control theory (PID, State Space, LQR, 2PBVPs). I have exposure to dynamic system modeling and simulations enhancing my MATLAB and Simulink skills. I have modeled and simulated Guidance Law for UAV Systems which was the topic of my master’s thesis (https://rc.library.uta.edu/uta-ir/handle/10106/30223) I am a forever student and continuously look for new opportunities to enhance my knowledge in the field of engineering. Having conceptual knowledge in mechanical and aerospace engineering allows me to transfer skills to different areas of requirement.
