- Project RNB3K5: Door trims, Renault at RNTBCI, Mahindra World City. Tool: CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE.
- Hands-on experience in CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE modules (Part Design, Generative Shape Design, Drafting, Assembly Design, DMU-space analysis).
- Designing and CAD modeling of door trim parts and assemblies as per engineering guidelines and checklists.
- Evaluated data received from the supplier as per engineering deliverables, and decided on the next action plan to meet milestones.
- Contributed to both development and industrialization phases, including RL0, RL1, RL2 (development), and TGA, DMJC (industrialization) in DFM and DFMEA.
- Ensured seamless design progression through milestone-specific tasks, such as tooling feasibility checks, virtual validations, assembly fitment reviews, collaborating with styling, suppliers, architecture, processes, PQ geometry, and cross-functional teams.
- Possess a strong understanding of iso-statism and its application.
- Created Design Technical Simplification (DTS), detailing volume, density, weight, size, materials, and a breakdown of main and sub-parts. Ensured accurate documentation to support design and manufacturing.
- Performed RTC checks, which are pre-station technical checks, to ensure proper integration and functionality across all parts and their environment.
- Understanding in CAE reports and updating CAD through iterative improvements to meet performance criteria, including displacement limits, and design requirements.
- Collaborated with the Styling Team on grain, parting line, basic tooling, and resolving CAE failures to ensure design feasibility and quality.
- Checked packaging feasibility with the architecture team and aligned with cross-functional teams, including perceived quality, and process teams, to ensure design compatibility and manufacturability.
- Performed dimensional feasibility studies and tolerance stack-up analysis for plastic interior trims.
- Applied GD&T for accurate component communication and assembly fit.
- Reviewed HCPP (part-level check for fit and finish that is gap and flush tolerances) and PDJ (vehicle-level fit and finish) sheets to ensure product and process characteristics met design specifications.
- Coordinated with the toolmaker on Mold Flow analysis, and implemented design changes based on the results to improve manufacturability and part quality.
- Checked with a material expert to optimize grades and ensure compliance with key material checks.
- Collaborated with the ECER21 team to perform radius checks, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
- Created and managed the product data structure in PLM, and ensured BOM quality.
- Engaged in teardown analysis at RNAIPL to study competitor vehicles and components, gaining insights into benchmarking processes for cost optimization, design improvements, and industry trends.
- Monitored the assembly process and sequence of interior trim parts at the RNAIPL plant, gaining insights into packaging, time management, and workflow efficiency.

- Project: Tailgate, Mercedes-Benz Star panel at Plastic Omnium, Pune. Tool: CATIA V5.
- Understand and follow the work instruction and work description given by the customer product design engineer, and communicate with them for better understanding.
- Created the closed volumes for the lighting box and cover of the tailgate. Imported all the B-side features and created the power copy for the dog house, screws, locators, rivets, and created depressions on the lighting module/box, cover, and metal bracket.
- Project: Door Trims; Tool: CATIA V5.
- Created the close volumes for the map pocket, switch bezel, and armrest with substrate while considering the design guidelines.
- Designed all the B-side features and created the power copy for the dog house, screw boss, welding boss, snaps, and locators.
- Created the tooling feasibility report for door trim parts. Define the main tooling direction, parting line. And showed the slider/lifter direction when there are undercuts.
- Created a DMU report and checked our assembly for the gap, clash, and contact.
- Applying the 3-2-1 principle with B-side features.
