CAD, GD&T and PLM Workflows

From parametric engine assemblies to production change notices, Aaryan works across the full design-data lifecycle: modeling in Creo and Siemens NX, dimensioning with GD&T, and managing releases through PLM systems like Teamcenter and Aras Innovator.

How Aaryan has used this

TurboFan Engine Assembly, a complete engine modeled as a personal project in Creo Parametric.

Built the full 3D parametric assembly with bypass ratio optimization studies, component integration and interference checking, and performance parameter calculations, applying GD&T across the design throughout.

Result: The assembly ships with a browsable 3D model and a 21-image gallery on the project page.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure, Summer 2025 internship in the mechanical department at the Grand Prairie office.

Designed custom enclosures for panelboards in CREO and executed engineering change notices in SAP, and engineered neutral assemblies that resolved switchboard configuration edge cases in production designs.

Result: Returned with a full-time offer; Aaryan joins Siemens Smart Infrastructure after graduation.

Professional experience

Single Piston Sterling Engine, a mechanical design project run through enterprise design-data tooling.

Designed the engine in Siemens NX and managed the design data through Teamcenter and Aras Innovator, exercising the same PLM release workflows used in industry alongside GD&T-driven detailing of the mechanism.

Result: Project files and related CAD work are collected on the project page.

Sterling Engine project

Purdue Space Program Satellites team, as a Structures, Mechanisms and Thermals member.

Contributed structures and mechanisms design work for the satellite team, including Fusion 360 design work and laser-cut hardware, while also serving as deputy systems director for the Satellites team.

Result: Carried the work across a 10-team organization where he also served as secretary.
