New Product Development Engineer @Ather Energy || Assistant Manager @EX-JSW Steel.

About

I am a Mechanical Engineer with 3.8+ years of experience spanning New Product Development, mechanical design, industrial operations, and manufacturing. At Ather Energy, I work in NPD Service Engineering, where I have led the end-to-end development of proprietary servicing tools—from concept and CAD design in Siemens NX to prototyping, functional testing, validation, and production. I have designed three patented servicing tools for the EL EV platform, applying GD&T, tolerance stack-up, fit selection, locking mechanisms, and design-for-serviceability principles. My experience also includes DFMEA, engineering drawings, Service BOMs, PLM configuration, root-cause analysis, field-failure investigation, and cross-functional coordination with design and manufacturing teams. Previously at JSW Steel, I managed production operations as Shift In-charge and worked on Kaizen-driven productivity improvement, mechanical/hydraulic troubleshooting, SAP MM procurement, spare-parts management, 5S, and cost-reduction initiatives. I am passionate about solving engineering problems through practical design, continuous improvement, and data-driven root-cause analysis, with a strong interest in mechanical product development, EVs, manufacturing, and service engineering.
