Work History
Executive Engineer - Mechanical Design
Larsen & Toubro Rubber Processing Machinery
06.2023 - Current
- Provided customized design solutions for tire curing products such as Curing Presses (MTCP & HTCP), Post Curing Inflators (PCI), Tube Presses, Tube Splicers, and reverse engineering/overhauling of tire curing presses.
- Handled customer inquiries by preparing technical specifications and machine layouts, while coordinating with the costing team for the preparation of Bills of Materials (BOMs). Conducted technical discussions with customers and provided timely technical solutions, contributing to the successful conversion of inquiries into orders.
- Prepared technical specifications for new machine designs, and acted as the single point of contact for technical clarifications with cross-functional teams and customers.
- Designed sheet metal components, including safety enclosures, trays, guards, tire holders, and seating covers, to improve ergonomics, reduce weight, and optimize manufacturing costs.
- Created and verified detailed manufacturing drawings with appropriate GD&T in accordance with ASME Y14.5, while ensuring compliance with applicable ISO/DIN standards.
- Managed Bills of Materials (BOMs) and engineering design data using PLM/PDM systems, ensuring version control and design traceability.
- Created user manuals and spare parts documentation for curing press machines to support commissioning, operation, and service teams.
- Performed engineering calculations for load-bearing components and standard part selection. Supported structural and fatigue analysis by preparing FEA-ready models with accurate boundary conditions and load cases. Reviewed FEA reports, collaborated with analysts, and proposed design improvements to enhance structural performance and fatigue life.
- Contributed to Value Engineering (VAVE) initiatives through material substitution, design simplification, and process improvements.
- Supported root cause analysis and problem-solving using DFMEA and DFMA (DFA/DFM) methodologies.
- Created 3D spare parts manuals to help customers maintain inventory for critical breakdown components, and ensured timely customization of spare parts orders.
- Contributed to the organization's digital transformation initiative by supporting the migration from the PDM system to Siemens Teamcenter PLM. Participated in requirement discussions, provided technical inputs, and supported the successful implementation of the PLM system, and contributed solutions for successfully deploying Siemens Teamcenter PLM in the organization.
Graduate Trainee - Mechanical Design
