CAD Modeling: CATIA V5, UG NX, Creo Parametric
Injection Molding & DFM: Rib design, snap-fits, boss design, wall thickness optimization
Plastic Trim Design: Dashboard assemblies, door panels, pillars, console, bumpers, fascia
Engineering Validation: Draft analysis, tooling feasibility, curvature analysis, part optimization
Manufacturing Documentation: GD&T (ASME Y14.5), 2D drawings, EBOM
Key Project Experience
✔ Worked on Skoda-VW automotive programs with OEM-level standards
✔ Designed complete plastic assemblies for Electric Vehicles (L2 & L5 platforms)
✔ Delivered projects from concept to prototype validation
✔ Ensured DFM compliance, tooling feasibility, and cost optimization
✔ Coordinated with tooling, manufacturing, and quality teams for smooth production
