As an R&D Mechanical Engineer at HL Mando Automotive India Pvt. Ltd., I work on the design and development of hydraulic brake actuation systems for ICE, HEV, and EV platforms. My role spans the complete product development lifecycle, from RFQ to SOP, supporting global OEMs including Hyundai, Kia, and Mahindra & Mahindra. My responsibilities include analyzing customer requirements, designing and developing mechanical components, planning and executing Design Verification (DV) testing, supporting CAE-based structural analysis, participating in DFMEA and APQP reviews, and coordinating with global engineering teams, suppliers, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure successful product development and production launch. I have contributed to India's first HE1i A-Grade Integrated Dynamic Brake (IDB) project, led validation activities with the help of HQ testing resources, resolved critical customer quality concerns, and driven localization and cost optimization initiatives. My work focuses on delivering reliable, high-quality hydraulic braking systems while continuously improving product performance, manufacturability, and customer satisfaction.
