- Pioneered Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles, reducing material waste by 30% and increasing repair efficiency by 80% (e.g., by reducing repair time from 10 hours to 2 hours). Led change initiatives for enhanced repairability, streamlining production and minimizing downtime.- Spearheaded cross-functional teams to virtually identify and assemble components, fostering collaboration and driving a 20% increase in component development speed. This resulted in a time-to-market reduction of 6 months.- Developed and implemented standardized repair procedures across teams, reducing repair times by 25% and improving component reliability by 20%. This resulted in an estimated annual cost savings of $10K per deployment. Pioneered a novel repair method with the potential to cut repair time/cost by 40% if standardized.- Conducted in-depth Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) on mechanical systems, utilizing data insights to refine repair procedures and reduce costs while adhering to ISO, IEEE, and UL standards.- Leveraged Autodesk Inventor, CATIA V5 and SolidWorks expertise to develop and validate designs for over 2000 parts. Led 100+ successful experimental validations, ensuring designs were not just feasible, but met rigorous safety and reliability standards. My expertise boosted product dependability by a staggering 10%!- Partnered with internal teams and clients to implement design modifications, assess EOL liabilities, and optimize BOM effectivity dates, minimizing production costs while adhering to industry standards.- Evaluated spare material assessments and analyzed the financial impact of inventory changes, collaborating with teams to strategically set BOM effectivity dates for cost reduction.

- Led a high-performance team of 10 mechanical design engineers in unlocking a paradigm shift within national grids. We spearheaded the development and delivery of a complex power flow control system, deployed across UK, Australian, and US grids.- By implementing topology optimization techniques in the design phase, we achieved a remarkable 50% reduction in material waste.- Through meticulously defined agile project plans, we delivered 3 prototypes and 3 pilot projects within a brisk 5-month timeframe. These successful functional tests resulted in over $300 million in customer deals.- Overseeing the seamless scaling of designs from prototype to full-scale production was paramount. Utilizing OODA loops (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act), RCA (Root Cause Analysis), DfR (Design for Reliability), and ALT (Accelerated Life Testing) methodologies, we maintained a stellar yield rate exceeding 90%.
