As a mechanical engineer with over seven years of experience, I possess a robust expertise in the full product development lifecycle, from initial R&D and conceptual design to manufacturing and production optimization. My career is distinguished by a hands-on approach to engineering, combining strong design acumen with practical shop-floor knowledge. My core competency lies in the design and development of advanced robotic systems. In my current role, I have led the mechanical design of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs), and telepresence robots. This involved end-to-end ownership, from concept and 3D modeling to prototyping and testing. A key achievement includes engineering a robust chain-sprocket driven powertrain, performing critical calculations for load capacity, power transmission, and durability to meet strict performance metrics. I am proficient in applying GD&T, DFM (Design for Manufacturability), and DFA (Design for Assembly) principles to ensure design integrity and production feasibility. Previously, at a marine technology startup, I drove the R&D and mechanical design for innovative projects, including a magnetic adhesion crawler for hull inspection and unmanned aerial systems. This role honed my skills in material selection for corrosive environments, mechanism design, and managing the complete prototyping process. I successfully liaised with vendors to oversee manufacturing, quality control, and the assembly of functional prototypes. My foundation in precision manufacturing is built upon direct experience in a sheet metal fabrication environment. I am highly proficient in sheet metal design, accounting for bend allowances and manufacturing constraints. I gained invaluable hands-on experience programming and operating CNC machinery, including laser cutters, plasma cutters, and press brakes, using software like FastCAM for nesting and G-code generation. This practical knowledge ensures my designs are optimized for real-world fabrication. I began my career in production engineering, where I managed assembly lines, optimized workflows, and supervised manpower. This experience provided a critical understanding of lean manufacturing principles, production bottlenecks, and the importance of designing for efficient assembly. This unique synergy of design innovation in high-tech robotics and grounded experience in production and fabrication allows me to effectively bridge the gap between R&D and manufacturing. I am adept at creating sophisticated, reliable mechanical designs that are not only functionally excellent but also cost-effective and optimized for production.also i have worked as a freelancer in many mechanical projects that include (freezer cabinets for medical purpose, aluminium casing for light industry, jig and clamp for bottle company, tap and shower design for a company, and laser and co2 machine for cnc manufacturer.

DFA Design, shorthand for design for assembly, is a process of designing a product with the easiest method of assembly in mind. Through this process, those in production will be able to assemble the product with less issue, helping to shorten the assembly time and lessen the costs that go into it. DFA Design can truly make all of the difference in the world for your product, and Cad Crowd is here to help you get that started. We offer a huge lineup of freelance DFA Design professionals who are here to make assembly as simple as possible for you using computer-aided design programs.
DFA Design works by reducing the number of parts needed for assembly. By doing this, you can speed up assembly and production times, thereby saving you plenty of money and time. The main benefit to this is cost reduction, and this is usually where most of the perks of having DFA Design freelancers on your side come in. There are unique methods that are used in order to determine the way that DFA Design comes into play. These are known as DFAA rules, or design for automated assembly rules.
Learning these rules and how to implement them can be quite time consuming. In order to create a design that uses these rules that executes flawlessly, you need plenty of experience working with them in order to save as much time as possible. Otherwise, you might be stuck fumbling for ways to make your assembly work for you when you could instead be spending that time furthering your product. This is where Cad Crowd can help you.
Cad Crowd is full of DFA Design experts who know the ins and outs of the DFAA rules and the CAD software that is needed to help bring your product to life. Take the stress out of DFA Design by bringing in DFA Design designer experts to work with you instead. Cad Crowd removes the fear that often comes with hiring freelancers online by vetting each one of the people who we work with to ensure that they are equipped for the job. You can be sure that you will be happy with the end result of your product for this reason. No matter who you end up choosing, you can work closely with them hand in hand, monitoring whoever it is that is working for you and helping guide them toward the necessary changes you want made. Whatever your project is, you can rest assured that it will be completed on time and within the deadline.
At Cad Crowd, we make it simple to get connected with freelance DFA Design professionals for hire. All you need to do is send in the parameters of your project for us to explore. Then, we will work to find the best designer for you. Browse the portfolios available to pick the right one for your needs before getting started. Contact Cad Crowd today for a no-obligation quote.
