I am a Mechanical Engineer with an MSc from the University of Glasgow, specializing in CAD/CAE design, FEA simulations, and technical documentation. I have hands-on experience collaborating with international clients to redesign propulsion and wing systems for UAVs and to optimize battery packs. I am open to relocation and enjoy translating complex engineering challenges into clear, actionable designs. I bring a practical mindset to design, simulation, and manufacturing coordination, with a track record of delivering production-ready drawings, BOMs, and validated structural analyses. Based in Hyderabad, India, I am eager to contribute to multidisciplinary teams and continue expanding my expertise across the product development lifecycle.

Work Experience

Junior Engineer - Mechanical(Simulation) at Mechadyno Technologies
November 30, 2024 - September 28, 2025
Partnered with a US aerospace client to redesign propulsion and wing systems (concept design) for a UAV. Conducted vibration simulations on battery packs to validate safety standards. Optimized a 15 kWh Li-ion battery pack design, achieving a 10.2% weight reduction (20 kg). Reduced the end plate weight by 23.3% through static structural optimization. Validated strength with a factor of safety of 2 for the battery pack base plate via static structural analysis. Prepared technical documentation and reports.
