As a hardware project lead I was responsible for design outputs (production drawings, purchase specifications, Bill Of Materials(BOM), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Instrument CAD model, Product test specification) of 2 cross flow filtration systems Translated system requirements to product concept and detail designResolve technical issues with pragmatic design alternatives benefiting both time and cost without affecting the quality of the system.Liaising with cross functional teams - manufacturing, service, product marketing, supply chain, vendor, regulatory & applicationConduct Technical Design Review (TDR) with cross functional team and follow up to close critical review commentsResolved technical issues during product developmentResponsible for design documentations and risk management according to medical device QMS process - ISO 13485Headed Design Review Board (DRB) and co-ordinated in Engineering change management (ECR/ECO)Conducted Technical Designs Reviews (TDR) and implemented follow up activities Initiated Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA) drive across life sciences team

Led Value Engineering team in achieving 2.45M$ annual savings and 10% SPC (Standard production cost) reduction of Chromatography system and won award under value creation category. Key responsibilities: Participate in DCW (Disruptive cost workout) and identify potential VE ideas using Design for Manufacture (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA) principle.Evaluate & prioritize VE ideas against cost reduction Vs technical risk Vs effort required for implementationTracking and implementation of top VE ideas. This includes design and review of followinga. 8 Injection molding partsb. 4 Pressure die casting partsc. 4 Sheetmetal simplification partsd. 3 Machining simplification Co ordinate with supplier and manufacturer for reviews and update.

Executed mechanical design activities in for sizing up and sizing down of Large Chromatography column and Stainless Steel column design.Contributed in design activities of bed support wagon, spray nozzel, media valve tolerance analysis.Implemented product care activities through Engineering Change Request (ECR) & Engineering Change Order (ECO) to address the field issues.Resolved the design, verification and validation defects Successfully prototyped very large column (1.6m diameter ID).

As a mechanical design in HCL Technologies, i worked in multiple phases of product development of medical products.Key responsibilities wereInvolved in Chassis design of new infusion pump. This includes plastic, sheetmetal, die cast part design and prototypingResponsible for design and development of plastic enclosure of a medical device. This includes RPT, tooling follow up which was successfully completed in a short turnaround time (6 weeks)Responsible to Statistical tolerance stack up analysis of dump valve instrument and recommend new dimensional tolerances that is agreeable by manufacturer as well meets the functional requirements.Responsible concept design of knee balancer used during knee replacement surgery. Actively involved in preparation of System Requirement Document (SRD) and Mechanical Requirement Specification (MRS).

Started as an intern and got permanent offer in Autoliv.As a product design engineer, i was given couple of challenging projects to come up with new design concepts and prove them by prototype and testing. 1. Design of Lock canceler mechanism: Designed, prototyped and verified lock canceller mechanism in the existing retractor with only few modifications which helped in easy implementation in manufacturing. Used mechanism design (gear & cam), machining design and verification skill to prove the concept.2. Design of sparrow head buckle mechanism: Implemented sparrow head mechanism in the existing stem buckle with minimum modifications and yet meet the 22g acceleration requirement. Used manual design calculations, sheetmetal design and verification testing methods to prove the concepts.

Worked as an FEA Analysis engineering using ANSYS software, manual design calculations and testing engineer using strain guages.Projects:Static structural analysis of 16 mVA 3-phase transformer shell - (Andrew Yule )Static and Nonlinear analysis of Tube Extrusion Die - (Tube Products of India )Stress Measuring using strain gauges - ( TI Metal Forming )
