PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Throughout my career, I have worked on numerous automotive interior trim projects for prestigious clients, specializing in console, door panels, instrument panels, glove boxes, ducts, seats, and armrests. As a Project Leader and Senior Design Engineer, I have successfully executed projects utilizing UG NX and CATIA V5, ensuring high-quality, cost-effective solutions.

For Daimler, I led multiple console projects, including X294/X296/Z296 EVA2, MMA C174 & X244, BR223 (MB S-Class), BR214 (MB E-Class), and MMA W244. My role involved end-to-end design, coordination with cross-functional teams, and delivering robust designs.

In the door panel segment, I played a key role in JLR L460 (New Range Rover) and L560 & L540 (Range Rover), working closely with clients to optimize designs for manufacturability and performance. I also contributed to Volvo V316 (Compact SUV) as an Acting Project Leader.

My experience extends to instrument panels, where I worked on KIA Bi3 (I-20) and TATA Q5 (TATA Harrier), ensuring compliance with ergonomic and safety standards.

Additionally, I have designed glove boxes for Fiat Chrysler (DT RAM) and Daimler BR214 (MB E-Class), delivering 

innovative storage solutions. 

My expertise also includes duct design, having led projects for Ford P800 and Nissan W42V.

For seating and armrest components, I successfully executed projects for Fendt (MSG 297 Suspension) 

Daimler BR465 Armrest, incorporating advanced plastic design techniques to enhance durability and aesthetics.

Through these projects, I have demonstrated a strong ability to manage complex designs, optimize cost and weight, and ensure manufacturability without compromising quality.
