About

Mechanical Design Engineer with 6+ years of experience in automotive Body-in-White (BIW), sheet metal design, vehicle integration, and packaging. I design manufacturing-ready parts and assemblies and release them to production with complete 2D drawings, G,D&T, welding symbols and engineering documentation. WHAT I DO :- • 3D modelling and 2D manufacturing drawings with GD and T and welding symbols. • BIW and sheet metal design, including DXF file generation and release for production. • Vehicle integration and packaging: design compatibility checks and resolving design issues with cross-functional teams. • Engineering documentation: BOM, ECR, ECN, DFMEA, and SOP. • Design for manufacturability, cost reduction, and weight optimization, inline with engineering standards and project requirements. HOW I ADD VALUE :- • Improve product quality, manufacturing feasibility, and design accuracy. • Reduce cost and weight without compromising strength or fit. • Work closely with manufacturing, quality, and vehicle teams to close design issues early. • Keep BOMs, drawings, and change notes accurate and release-ready. SELECTED RESULTS :- • Contributed to a 17% (70 kg) chassis weight reduction, from 415 kg to 345 kg, through design optimization. • Achieved cost savings through [material, process, or part consolidation]. • Released dxf, drawings, ECNs, and BOMs for [vehicle program]. WHY MY BACKGROUND HELPS :- I started on the production floor at FMI Automotive Components, so I design with manufacturing and assembly in mind. That means fewer design changes after release. TOOLS :- UG NX , SolidWorks], AutoCAD, MS Excel CORE SKILLS :- BIW Design | Sheet Metal Design | Vehicle Packaging | Vehicle Integration | G,D&T | Welding Symbols | DFMEA | BOM | ECR/ECN | DFM | Weight and Cost Optimization. Open to Mechanical Design Engineer, BIW Design Engineer, and Sheet Metal Design Engineer roles (on-site, hybrid, or remote). Reach me at :- kumarialisha175@gmail.com 9050164017
