• Led powertrain launch for new vehicle model launch to deliver and monitor program launch milestones, issue management governance meetings, vehicle build plan and early issue detection at build phase for integration of Air intake, auxiliary cooling, engine mounts and after treatment exhaust component and systems issue spanning across multiple powertrain groups.• Co-develop and execute systems level testing, build quantity plan and sign-off for air intake, auxiliary cooling and exhaust system ensuring all program emission levels are covered reducing testing complexity and cost.• Co-led air intake and auxiliary coolant system issue spanning across multiple powertrain groups for root cause investigation with appropriate quality tools like DMAIC, 8D, 5-Why Analysis.• Vehicle powertrain NVH testing using microphone and accelerometers and establish all units produced post launch are within defined NVH criteria for customer in cabin.• Co-ordinate release of workshop diagnostic modules containing various diagnosis test, assembly & dis-assembly of components, parts re-use strategy along with powertrain hardware, ford customer service and calibration team for first time right repair.

• Administered and coordinated launch of 2.0L Diesel engine from prototype build stages to mass production with established program milestones and approval cadence as per GPDS guidelines.• Interface & system design alignment between engine boosting, air intake and calibration team for robust hardware design & diagnostic warnings for target markets with varying climate, customer duty cycle, homologation & emission requirements.• Interface & system design alignment between High pressure fuel system, low pressure fuel system and calibration teams for robust hardware design & diagnostic warnings for target markets with varying climate, customer duty cycle, homologation & emission requirements• Led water-pump and thermostat seal design change to reduce warranty costs. Define and implement Design Verification Plan & Report (DVP&R) to release engineering sign-off meeting APQP and PPAP requirements.• Co-developed lifting eyes, Oil pan and support brackets with local supplier footprint as part of Total Value Management (TVM). Communicating design requirements, discuss manufacturing feasibility, Design Verification Plan & Report (DVP&R), release engineering sign-off meeting APQP and PPAP requirements.

• Responsible for engine system level testing plan release, monitor testing progress, post teardown analysis for various localization and quality actions pertaining to Diesel engines manufactured in India.• Responsible for developing and maintaining Engine coolant system health chart for all seals meeting design rules for DV5 engine variants.

• Led engineering change control for all changes for DV5 engines manufactured in India. Liaise with global and local teams to implement engineering changes on time at two engine manufacturing facilities in India and/or global coordinated DV5 changes.• Responsible for maintaining Bill of Material (BOM) in WERS for all DV5 engines manufactured in India to provide correct trigger to downstream activities keeping complexity to minimum, prevent mis-builds.

• Implemented cost reduction action on diesel Engines which required design changes on intake system, Engine mounts and validation of vehicle NVH teams. Aligned and liaised with various teams to conclude on Design of Experiments (DOE). Was implemented with approx. save of 1.5% per diesel engine.
