Vivek Jha

Designed and developed office seating, dining furniture, stadium seating systems, and plastic furniture solutions from concept ideation to production. Led complete NPD lifecycle including user research, concept generation, industrial design, CAD development, prototyping, validation, tooling, and production launch. Produced production-ready designs by balancing aesthetics, ergonomics, user experience, and manufacturing feasibility. Successfully designed a commercial office chair that entered mass production and generated an initial IKEA order of 8,000+ units. Managed and reviewed multiple product development programs, including mentoring mechanical designers. Defined product architecture and engineered structural solutions to improve performance, durability, assembly efficiency, and manufacturing cost. Performed costing, value engineering, and coordinated with tooling vendors/mold manufacturers/suppliers for tooling validation, pilot production, and commercialization. Produced BOMs, eng

Led industrial product design and NPD for commercial fuel delivery systems, including the Repos Mobile Fuel Station (RFS). Designed and developed products such as the Repos Gas Station, Repos Automatic Tank Gauge (R-ATG), and a Portable Fueling Station. Created high-fidelity 3D models and renderings using Rhino 3D and KeyShot. Defined CMF strategies to improve brand consistency and cost-effectiveness. Collaborated with production, quality, and procurement teams to streamline development and standardize components for scalability.

Designed and developed phygital (Physical + Digital) toys, AI-driven book-reading robots, and an interactive piano keyboard. Created detailed 3D models and photorealistic renderings to communicate design intent. Conducted material and feasibility studies to support manufacturability and cost-effectiveness.
