I am a mechanical design professional with 19 years of experience in R&D for automotive and off-highway sectors, specializing in Body-in-White, interior and exterior trim, and packaging. I have hands-on CAD experience across Solid Edge, CATIA V5/6, and NX, and I excel at translating complex requirements into manufacturable designs that balance performance, cost, and quality.
I have led cross-functional and overseas design projects, delivering 96% on-time delivery and 15% cost savings. I enjoy building high-performing teams, fostering collaboration, and driving continuous improvement through structured reviews, DFMEA, and robust design for manufacturability.

brackets for multiple components, including development of flat patterns, optimized geometries, and manufacturable layouts. It also includes reverse engineering of several plastic coverings to recreate accurate 3D models for redesign and improved fitment. Heavy mounting structures are re‑engineered for optimized performance through weight‑reduction studies, improved load paths, and cost‑effective manufacturing solutions. Conducts stress checks and weight‑reduction evaluations.
My role. concept design, part scan, 3D design, 2D drawing, weight optimization, FEA, Tolerance stack-up
Developed mounting solutions, interfaces, and covering panels for an automotive system within a highly constrained package. Work included parametric modelling, DFM/DFA, clash and tolerance analysis, GD&T, BOM control, and assembly sequencing. Ensured serviceability, manufacturability, and interface integrity while resolving NVH, thermal, and access constraints, delivering a validated, production‑ready design. Outcome: a validated, serviceable design ready for production and future variants.
My role. CAD Engineer – 3D modelling, assemblies, GD&T, Engg documentation, tolerance analysis, DFM/DFA
Project focuses on designing a safe, ergonomic, and durable automotive ladder platform to improve vehicle access during maintenance and inspection. The design includes structural analysis, material selection, stability assessment, and compliance with safety standards. The outcome is a lightweight, modular platform that enhances technician efficiency and workplace safety. Various Mechanical needs: strength, stiffness, durability, fatigue resistance
Safety and compliance: load capacity, stability, standards
Environmental conditions: corrosion, temperature, wear. Ergonomics, weight, comfort
My role in this project includes Concept design, CAD engineer, assy packaging & material check, drawings, assembly, Tol study, GD&T
This project focuses on redesigning vehicle strut‑tower brace system to improve load transfer, structural rigidity, mtg robustness. Original brace relied on eight long 8mm bolts with limited upper support, creating risk of strut‑tower casting failure. Redesigned introduces new load paths using multiple Mtg points, 3D gusseted bracket structure & reinforced aluminium. Evaluation of material options such as 6061 aluminium, steel inserts, and composite bonding. An optimized brace assembly capable of safely distributing force into the tower, bulkhead with improved stiffness, durability & manufacturability. My role in this project includes concept design, parametric CAD modelling, load‑path redesign, bracket development, material evaluation, GD&T, Tolerance check & drwgs.
Designed parametric CAD models for front door inner panel (GSD + Part Design). Ensured compliance with crash, sealing, intrusion, and NVH requirements. Performed draft analysis, emboss optimisation, and mastic application planning. Developed master sections and joined flanges considering hemming feasibility. Coordinated with CAE team for stiffness/strength optimization. Performed section creation based on curvature, NVH, and rollover requirements. Developed SOR (Sequence of Operation) for manufacturing feasibility. Managed spot weld plan, mastic bead positioning, and adhesive bonding regions. Developed floor assembly: front/rear floor, tunnel, cross members, and reinforcements.
Redesigned a heavy fabricated assembly into a single cast part using topology optimization, functional validation, and complete GD&T/tolerance analysis—delivering major cost, weight, and manufacturing efficiency improvements, resulting in a simplified, cost‑effective, and production‑ready component…
