I started working with Lumilor India (owned by Detailing Devils India Pvt Ltd group), the recently established technical center in Noida, as Automotive Design Engineer in the Research & Development Department. I have experienced the real-world procedures of vehicle design and development of Harley Davidson & Royal Enfield bikes. My design and development responsibilities were to the automobile department of the company, which included me starting with an idea to represent a fully functional prototype scale model. To satisfy design requirements, I had to understand part functions, design history and consider about strength, durability, cost, manufacturing method, assembling workability, and the most important one, the deadline.
