About

Results-driven Mechanical Design Engineer with 5+ years of R&D and product development experience. Expertise in full-product-lifecycle management — from conceptual design and DFM/DFMEA through proto-build, design validation, ECN management, and production handover. Experienced in cross-functional collaboration with manufacturing, purchasing, aftermarket, sales and marketing teams. Adept at cost reduction, parts rationalisation, and VAVE initiatives. Seeking design engineer roles in Mechanical engineering related industries.

Experience

Mechanical Design Engineer Bomford Turner Ltd · Full-time Mar 2026 – Apr 2026 1 mos England, United Kingdom •
Closed 100+ design, development, and change tasks (ECRs, QAs) for PTO-driven agricultural equipment (hedge cutters, rotary mowers, cultivators) using SolidWorks; ensured compliance with EU/ISO/BSI standards throughout the full product lifecycle.
•
Owned end-to-end NPD documentation lifecycle — Project Proposals, Quality Actions, Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), and Design Review Records — with zero compliance gaps across all registers.
•
Executed structural and tolerance analysis including tolerance stack-up, bending, shear, buckling, and torsion calculations, enabling robust design decisions prior to proto-build and physical prototyping.
•
Managed Whole Goods Codes(WGCs), fabrications, schedules/modules BOMs, and parts data in JD Edwards (JDE) ERP/MRP, directly supporting manufacturing readiness and vendor development pipelines.
•
Drove VAVE and cost-reduction initiatives through parts rationalisation and fabrication simplification, reducing part count and production costs across multiple product variants.
•
Collaborated cross-functionally with Marketing, Service, Parts, Production Engineering, Purchasing, and Stores to resolve field and production issues rapidly, reducing rework cycles.
•
Modernised legacy documentation (CAD-Key, Micro-GDS, Microfiche) for active products, ensuring continuity of service parts supply and design validation records.
Mechaincal Design Engineer Dynapac · Full-time Jun 2019 – Sep 2022 3 yrs 3 mos Bengaluru, KA, India •
Managed 20+ NPD projects and ECNs for 10–14-ton asphalt and soil compactors using PTC Creo and Windchill, covering full product lifecycle from concept through design validation and production handover.
•
Executed hydraulic hose and electrical cable routings, sheet metal design, solid/surface modelling, 2D drawing creation (GD&T), weldment design, and tolerance stack-up analysis.
•
Represented the engineering team in design review meetings with international clients, demonstrating product governance and cross-functional collaboration with global stakeholders.
•
Delivered 4+ internal technical presentations on emerging design methodologies, strengthening team capability and contributing to R&D knowledge sharing.
•
Completed VAVE and cost-reduction studies on capital equipment components, supporting vendor development and supply chain optimisation.
