About
🎯 Senior Product & Tooling Design Engineer | 21+ Years in Automotive & Off-Highway | BIW Fixtures | Interior Trims | Stamping | Automation Tooling | Team Leadership
I’m a mechanical design engineer with over 21 years of experience in BIW fixtures and Stamping, automotive interior trims, off-highway tooling, and now, automation gripper tooling for assembly lines. My work spans major industry leaders and platforms including Ford U502, JLR (L460, L461, L481), GMD T.33, and Caterpillar, where I’ve delivered end-to-end engineering — from concept modeling to final CAD, BOM, and manufacturing release.
💼 Key Highlights:
• Delivered complete BIW fixture projects (Geo Stations, Re-spot, Grippers, Turntables) for JLR, Gestamp, GMD, managing CAD release, offshore support, and simulation coordination.
• Experienced in stamping tool design for BIW panels — including progressive tool layout, 3D modelling, 2D detailing, and feasibility validation.
• Led the interior trim development for Ford U502, supporting Class A to B-surface translation, part attachment design, and packaging resolution — aligned to FC3 through FDJ milestones
• Designed tooling for the Meritor Brake Assembly Automation Line, including grippers, nut runner tools, and press fixtures — selecting commercial actuators, sensors, and developing modular tool concepts
• Applied DFM/DFA and GD&T principles; participated in DFMEA preparation for safety-critical and complex mounting structures
• Recognized with a Spot Award at Infosys for improving First Time Right (FTR) drawing quality from 75% to 93% on a major Caterpillar Off-Highway tooling project, through process standardization and rigorous quality control.
• Proficient in CATIA V5, NX, Creo, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, AutoCAD, and Teamcenter for PLM and CAD lifecycle management
• Known for mentoring junior engineers, leading quality checks, and ensuring robust delivery under tight timelines
🔄 Known for solving complex design challenges, mentoring teams, and consistently delivering quality-first, CAD-intensive solutions with a strong focus on process and client satisfaction.
