Rohit Raj Email and Phone Number
I am an engineering and technology leader with 20 years of expertise in industrial product development, manufacturing implementation, and process digitalization.Currently, I am focused on leading the development and industrialization of industrial IoT and consumer electronic products, that reflect high levels of integration, optimization, and elegant design. I lead cross-functional teams to bring these products to life, ensuring seamless execution and consistent delivery of high-impact solutions.In my past roles at Schindler, John Deere, and Tata Motors, I have architected, developed, and implemented electric traction elevators, special-purpose machines, and automotive components, sustaining them throughout their life cycles. Alongside, I nurtured high-performance functional teams specializing in mechanical design, systems engineering and MBSE, mechatronics, embedded hardware/software, testing, manufacturing engineering, and product management—including respective tools, processes, project management, and quality systems. I have also delivered business development initiatives, enterprise-wide transformation programs, and extensive capability-building drives.I believe that a sensibly foresighted strategy rooted in customer understanding, business realities, domain know-how, and unwavering conviction, creates enduring value. Coupling this with robust engineering execution—founded on application focus for technology integration, validated requirements, well-thought-out architecture, simple (linear, optimized, and scalable) designs, automated processes (incld. KPIs), continuous cross-functional DfX collaboration, and rapid iterative evolution—is key to achieving market leadership. (And all this is hard work.)Building on these experiences, I am committed to cultivating a culture of trust, 'compassionate candor,' sustainable practices, and inclusive values, which I strongly believe are essential for ensuring everyone around is happy, passionately engaged, and striving to realize their peak potential.
