Dear Sir/Madam,

My recent trips to Rolls-Royce Deutschland and UK amplified my lively interest to work in Europe for technology companies on AI. Through my engineering background, Aerospace domain and data science skills I am a good interface between Aerospace industry and the digital world. I am therefore thrilled to find this job offering and am hereby applying to become part of the digital revolution at MTU Aero. I will be in Berlin from 15th November till 20th December for a business visit and if my profile is shortlisted, i will have an opportunity to take part in face to face interview.

This role has many elements of data science: Requirements gathering, Data aggregation using multiple databases, understanding of data science solution architectures, identifying and defining data signatures, creating and optimizing analytical models using machine learning, model validation, visualization and creating diagnostic and prognostic capabilities. Furthermore i have explored my interest in other projects on anomaly detection, predictive analytics and segmentation. Furthermore I am participating in other AI projects like the Advanced Analytics where we are building an different ML models as a catch all solution. I am leading and mentoring a team of 9 data scientists, responsible for prioritising and managing workloads on behalf of my team.

My earlier experience was with General Electric, Bangalore on developing a cruise control system (Trip Optimizer) for Freight trains. I had worked on designing and validating sub-systems of Trip Optimizer (2015 Engineering Excellence Award for design and Execution excellence). My interest in data science and AI started while i was analysing field data for estimating Davis resistance for China main line freight trains. I developed an empirical models to estimate the Davis resistance. During this period i co-invented a patent (USPTO Application # (123) ***-*** 5) which has a direct application on autonomous driving vehicles. I started my career with AvioHeliTronics Infosystems Pvt Ltd, Bangalore by working on developing and verifying the safety critical avionics software for Flight management system as per DO-178B standards. Then moved to MOOG India, Bangalore where i worked on developing and verifying the safety critical avionics software for secondary Flight control system of Boeing 747-8.

Experience of working with different companies/industries gave me a valuable insights on how the business works and allowed me to build a good network.
