The role involves overseeing the entire product development process, from understanding the market to launching and improving products, while managing stakeholders and multiple projects efficiently.- Conduct market research and brainstorm ideas aligned with the brand and target audience.- Create prototypes, estimate costs, and plan for the design phase.- Design play elements, analyze manufacturability, and collaborate with the Graphic Design team.- Develop and test high-fidelity prototypes, and refine them based on user feedback.- Manage communication and collaboration with stakeholders.- Ensure smooth product launch and adherence to quality standards.- Successfully manage multiple projects, tracking timelines, budgets, and quality.- Continuously analyze feedback and data for product improvement, collaborating with teams for enhancements.

Accelerated the new and innovative product development by collaborating with the industrial design team and the engineering team. - Design research and Analysis - Secondary research and user research. Conducted an extensive study of the available products, formulated design briefs, and product specifications. A detailed ideation guide was developed to align the team for the ideation process. - Ideation and new concept generation - Ideated on new concepts, designs, ideas based on the insights from the research. Generated over 150 new ideas with the team. New mechanism development for the concepts. - POC Design - Built quick mockups to understand the concept more hands-on. Insights were drawn from the mockups to create functioning prototypes. - Prototype development and testing - Engineering design of the prototypes using Fusion 360. Collaborated with the vendors and electronics team to transform the CAD design into a functioning prototype. Detailed documentation and planning for the prototype testing, desired results, and observations to be made. Constantly interacted and coordinated with the client, vendors, internal industrial design team, and engineering team to align every stakeholder of the projects to accelerate the overall process.

Veego is a Mumbai-based analytical instrument designing and manufacturing company.Design instruments and systems by collaborating with the service team and the electronics team and create prototypes for testing. I also develop standard operating producers for the manufacturing of these systems to improve the efficiency of production. Major Projects - 1. Syringe Pump and Fraction Collector - -Designed this two-instrument automated system as per the parameters and requirements given by the core team. -Developed a prototype by collaborating with the production team to test the reliability of the mechanical and electronic systems. -Currently, the system is under testing. I am making the necessary changes in the design as per the results and setting up the production line to streamline the manufacturing of this.2. Digital Vernier - -Working with the electronics RnD team to develop a device for the precision measurement of the tablet.-The designed mechanical system is in the prototyping phase where we are using the 3D printed parts to test the electronics and overall functionality of the device. 3. Dissolution Apparatus - -Developed a new lead screw mechanism using polymer technology to reduce the production time and cost. 4. Modernization of sheet metal fabrication - -Re-designing the sheet metal covers of some instruments to give them a modern look and simplify the fabrication work.-Establishing a workflow where the CAD files can be directly sent to the fabricator for laser cutting and bending. This will reduce the errors in the sheet metal work and improve the overall efficiency of the process.
