Senior Design Engineer | Product Engineering October 2016 - December 2023
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

 Design semi-elliptical and parabolic leaf springs for vehicles using calculations as per customer needs.
 Work with cross-functional teams to develop leaf springs.
 Generate and implement VAVE ideas to achieve significant cost savings.
 Select materials and processes for leaf springs that ensure strength, fatigue resistance, and cost-efficiency
 Generate 3D CAD and detailed drawings, ensuring design accuracy.
 Perform FEA simulations using Ansys to optimize structural integrity and performance of the design.
 Perform DVP tests to validate design durability, analyze failures, and enhance design reliability.
 Prepare detailed design documentation (APQP, BOM, DFA-DFM, DFMEA, DVP, etc…). Prepare and implement lessons
learnt from various projects.
 Support manufacturing, procurement, assembly, and quality teams, resolving product design issues.
