About

I work on taking hardware products from concept to production and making sure they actually scale. As an NPI / Product Engineer, my focus is on bridging design and manufacturing for electro-mechanical systems driving product industrialization, improving manufacturability, and supporting smooth production ramp-up. My experience covers the full product lifecycle: from early prototypes and validation (EVT/DVT/PVT) to engineering release and manufacturing readiness. I’ve worked on component design, BOM structuring, prototyping, validation testing, and supplier coordination to ensure designs are not just functional, but production-ready. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams R&D, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers to: 1.Resolve DFM/DFA issues early in development 2.Improve product reliability and reduce build failures 3.Drive cost optimization through VA/VE 4.Ensure efficient transition from prototype builds to production My core strength lies in solving real engineering problems during scale-up—where most products fail. Core areas: 1.New Product Introduction (NPI) & Product Industrialization 2.Mechanical Design (Sheet Metal, Plastics) 3.Prototyping & Validation (EVT/DVT/PVT) 4.DFM/DFA, BOM Management, Supplier Coordination 5.Tools: SolidWorks/Creo, Engineering Documentation
