# CHARAN MANJUNATH on Tal

## Headline

Ex\-Ohmium NPI Engineer – Green Hydrogen Systems \| Product Industrialization \| Product Scale\-Up \| DFM/DFA \| EVT→DVT \| Prototype

## 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
