Senior Process Development Engineer for EV Batteries

About

I believe engineering is more than solving problems, it's about identifying the right problems to solve. My passion lies in transforming ideas into real-world solutions. I enjoy challenging conventional approaches, exploring better ways of doing things, and taking concepts from simulation and validation all the way to implementation. For me, the most rewarding part of engineering isn't just proving that a design works; it's seeing people trust it enough to adopt it. At Mercedes-Benz Research & Development India, I work on simulation-led product development, supporting the design and validation of battery systems, electric vehicle technologies, and advanced manufacturing processes using CFD and FEA. My work bridges engineering analysis with practical implementation, helping teams make confident design decisions. Beyond simulations, I enjoy mentoring engineers, driving innovation initiatives, and building collaborative teams where curiosity and continuous learning thrive. I'm particularly interested in the future of engineering, where AI, simulation, and data-driven decision-making come together to accelerate product development and deliver smarter, more sustainable solutions. Always open to connecting with engineers, innovators, and leaders who are passionate about solving meaningful problems and turning ideas into impact.
