Experience

• Senior Software Engineer HCLTech · Full-time Jan 2024 – Jan 2026 2 yrs Bengaluru, KA, India Carrier Design to Value (DTV) Project Overview
  The Design to Value (DTV) initiative at Carrier is a strategic engineering program focused on maximizing product value by optimizing cost without sacrificing performance, quality, or customer satisfaction.
  • Component-Level Analysis: Each part and subassembly is thoroughly reviewed for design efficiency, cost drivers, and functional requirements.
  • Value Engineering: Assessed the technical performance of current designs and explores alternative configurations, materials, and production methods that can reduce cost while maintaining or improving reliability and end-user performance.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Worked closely with Procurement, Manufacturing, and Quality to gather critical data—such as annual part volumes, supplier capabilities, and production metrics.
  • Data-Driven Decisions: Using real-world cost data, volume forecasts, and feasibility assessments, we prioritize design modifications that offer the greatest return on investment
