CAD/CAM & 3D Modelling
Expertise in CATIA V5/V6, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, and PTC Creo for 2D/3D modelling, sheet metal and plastic component design, GD&T, and tolerance stack-up analysis across aerospace, medical, and automotive domains.
Aerospace Structural Design
Extensive experience in designing primary and secondary load-bearing aircraft structures including bulk-heads, shear-walls, and baffle plates, as well as premium and economy aircraft seating systems, from concept through production release.
DFM/DFA & Engineering Methods
Deep knowledge of DFM/DFA, DFMEA, CAPA, Root Cause Analysis, V&V, and Reliability Testing, applied across aerospace, defense, medical device, and robotics programs to ensure compliant and manufacturable designs.
PLM/PDM Systems
Proficiency in PLM and PDM tools including 3DEXPERIENCE, TeamCenter, SmarTeam, Agile, and Windchill for BOM management, engineering change workflows, and 2D production drawing packages.
Manufacturing Processes
Knowledge of CNC, EDM and wire-cutting, prototyping and validation, metrology and inspection, supporting end-to-end product development from design to production.
Regulatory Compliance
Experience ensuring designs meet regulatory standards including CS-25/EASA, FAA, and FDA requirements for aircraft seating and medical device programs.
Python Programming & Robotics
Ability to write custom Python scripts for sensor validation and test automation, applied in autonomous mobile robot programs to improve test repeatability and reduce manual validation time.
Cross-functional Leadership & Vendor Management
Track record of leading cross-functional R&D teams, managing vendors, overseeing engineering change governance, and liaising with stakeholders including DRDO on structural compliance and design reviews.

Project history
Leading structural design of primary and secondary load-bearing aircraft components for the DRDO FUFA national stealth UAV program (Aircraft Interiors, Trims & Stealth Airframe). Responsibilities include translating styling data and customer inputs into DFM-compliant designs, owning engineering change workflows and BOM creation in SmarTeam, and serving as design authority liaising with DRDO stakeholders on structural compliance and design reviews.
Led design and development of injection-molded and sheet metal components for premium and economy aircraft seating platforms (Premium & Economy Aircraft Seating Platforms). Engineered electrical routing integration for privacy dividers, tray tables, and armrests. Converted LOPAs into validated seat layouts and final assembly drawings. Drove ECN/ECR processes and BOM management in TeamCenter.
Directed end-to-end hardware and platform testing for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) for warehouse robotics. Redesigned mobile robot manipulators and chassis, led robot commissioning, authored industrial layout plans per ISO 10218-1:2011, and wrote custom Python scripts to validate LIDAR sensor accuracy.
