About

Manufacturing and NPI professional with 6+ years of experience across high-volume electronics manufacturing, failure analysis, production operations, and new product introduction. Currently working at Tata Electronics, leading shift-level failure analysis and supporting production stability in a high-volume manufacturing environment. My work involves coordinating with Production, Quality, Process, Engineering, Training and other cross-functional teams to identify issues, drive containment, validate root causes, implement corrective actions and maintain production continuity. I have hands-on experience supporting products through NPI and transition toward mass production, with a strong understanding of the interaction between product, process, material, operator and equipment variations in a manufacturing environment. My core strength is operating at the intersection of technical problem solving and cross-functional execution — converting production issues into structured actions, aligning stakeholders, tracking corrective actions and driving issues toward closure. Key areas of experience: • New Product Introduction (NPI) and transition to mass production • Hardware manufacturing and high-volume production operations • Failure analysis and root-cause investigation • Cross-functional issue resolution and stakeholder coordination • Yield improvement and production recovery • Containment, corrective and preventive actions • Production risk identification and escalation • Line audits, process adherence and operational discipline • Data-driven problem solving and failure-pattern analysis • Manufacturing quality and process improvement I am particularly interested in opportunities in Hardware Technical Program Management, NPI Program Management, Operations Program Management, Manufacturing Program Management and Hardware Project Management, where I can combine my manufacturing experience with structured project and program execution.
