About

Results-driven Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineer with 8+ years of experience in CAD design, manufacturing process development, and industrialization across automotive and high-volume production environments.
I specialize in:

3D CAD modeling and assembly design
Design for Manufacturing (DFM/DFA)
Manufacturing process planning & production readiness
Tooling and fixture concept development
Root cause analysis and quality improvement

I have successfully supported global engineering teams (Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis) in developing manufacturable designs, resolving complex assembly issues, and optimizing production processes.

✅ Key achievements:
Completed 180+ DFM/DFA studies
Reduced cycle time and improved productivity in production lines
Delivered cost savings through design and process optimization

I am passionate about helping clients transform concepts into manufacturable, cost-effective, and production-ready designs.
Let’s collaborate to bring your ideas into reality.

Regards,
Ashish
