About
I’m Imaan Rafiq, a graduate Product Design Engineer (BSc Hons, Aston University) who enjoys building ambitious products that work in the real world. I combine high-fidelity SOLIDWORKS CAD with hands-on Design for Manufacture knowledge, including injection moulding constraints, GD&T, and BOM costing—so my concepts can actually be produced at scale.
I’ve developed award-recognised smart-mobility technology through my James Dyson Award-recognised Smart Walker project, where I integrated LiDAR, ultrasonic sensing, IMU posture monitoring, and AI-assisted gait analysis using embedded ESP32-S3 electronics. I’m also comfortable working across engineering and operations—drawing on Toyota Production System, 5S/Kaizen, and structured project delivery—while communicating clearly with multidisciplinary teams to turn early research into functional, manufacturable prototypes.

Work experience
Evaluated complex programmatic logic and technical documentation for advanced AI models, using rigorous edge-case testing to probe software logic and improve performance. Built structured test scenarios to increase robustness in parsing and generation tasks and supported quality improvements for model outputs.
Owned the end-to-end B2C sales pipeline from prospecting and needs analysis through proposal, negotiation, and close. Used consultative selling to tailor solutions to individual customer requirements, working in a high-volume, target-driven environment. Operated within a structured CRM workflow to track pipeline activity and performance, strengthening reporting discipline and commercial ownership. Built strong face-to-face rapport and developed objection-handling skills transferable to cross-functional engineering and logistics work.
Worked in a lean manufacturing environment applying 5S and Kaizen for shift-level problem solving, root-cause analysis, and workspace safety. Supported assembly and quality inspection across ten vehicles from line start to finish, applying Poka-Yoke error-proofing and zero-defect JIT principles. Used live production data to identify bottlenecks and propose corrective actions, gaining practical grounding in operations, quality, and process improvement.
