Work Experience

Lead Engineer - ESP at VINFAST - Vietnam

January 31, 2025 - January 31, 2025

Led engineering issue resolution for chassis modules (mounts, steering, wheels and tires) and tracked closure in JIRA. Managed plant-level vehicle activities including engineering trials, prototype build support and running changes (ECR/DCR); prepared and released SOR, DVP, DFMEA and Spec Book for parts. Attended VinFast customer audits and resolved engineering open issues; achieved vehicle and subsystem-level sign-offs for VF6/VF7 (LHD & RHD) chassis modules. Oversaw tool kick-offs and coordinated with suppliers to ensure timely part readiness. Resolved compressor bracket noise by implementing a PCA part as a running change for VF6 (and planned for VF7), addressed wheel insert rattling noise with PCA proposals, and resolved knuckle insert noise issues with implemented countermeasures.

Global Project Team Lead at Renault Nissan Technical Centre India

January 31, 2024 - January 31, 2024

Led conceptual design and development of engine mounting systems and packaging for CMF-B & CMF-CD global platforms across NA/Europe/Asia clusters. Managed technical and team engagement to optimize performance and meet design milestones. Collaborated with cross-functional teams and trained engineers on emerging technologies to enhance project delivery and readiness for future challenges.

Sr. Designer - Exhaust System at Renault Nissan Technical Centre India

December 31, 2022 - December 31, 2022
