Work history
Mechanical Engineer
Evionics Innovations Pvt. Ltd., India
2022.05 - 2023.01
- Worked on concept and mechanical design for e-cargo bikes, creating PDS, GD&T drawings, and first pass FEA (ANSYS) for roll cage.
- Supported prototype builds/testing and multi-domain integration with the powertrain team.
- Troubleshot mechanical issues in roll cage prototypes using FEA/GD&T, reducing iterations 20%.
Mechanical Design Engineer
Sai Rams Innovations PVT. LTD., India
2018.09 - 2022.05
- Leading end-to-end design and prototyping of modular Face-ID enclosure using FDM 3D printing (PLA for tolerance / fit validation; ABS / PETG for functional prototypes), implementing version control and comprehensive design validation for production readiness.
- Contributed to modular self-service kiosk designs (sheet metal design, assembly and hardware integration), generating CAD assemblies and 2D drawings that reduced prototype rework by 25% and applying DFMA principles to reduce material waste by 15%.
- Collaborated with SMEs and suppliers on tooling procurement and documentation to support prototype-to-production transition.
- Assisted purchasing with vendor validation, procurement timelines, and cost optimization for inventory.
- Hands-on rapid prototyping using FDM printing (PLA) and design validation for functional prototypes of RFID tag readers.
Team Design Lead
ISNEE / QUAD TORC, INDIA
2016.10 - 2017.10
- Designed and analysed ATV roll cage in SolidWorks with FEA simulations in ANSYS and DFMEA for chassis components, thus enhancing durability.
- Supported cost optimization through in-house fabrication (disk brake flanges, engine mounting brackets, brake master cylinder mechanism), inventory control and custom jigs/fixtures, reducing prototyping costs by 10%.
- Collaborated with vendors to incorporate manufacturing feedback from SME’s, improving production and reducing rework.
- "Quad-TORC" is an off-road quadbike design challenge for undergraduate and diploma students of engineering.
