As a Mechanical engineering professional, I have fulfilled multiple roles in my 12 years of overall experience. Got trained and executed several stages of Product life cycle with good level of autonomy. Even while working remotely. In my current role, I’m working as Senior engineer for home appliance field. My role at Tech Mahindra as Associate Team Lead/Sr. Engineer (onsite & Off shore) allowed me to get knowledge on product development with implementing different stage Gates according to product introduction to market. Main focus is on leading the team of 6 to achieve projects goals. Coordinating and mentoring team members. I believe myself as a good team player, Problem solver, Open to debate, Open and Enthusiastic to learn new things and go getter. Working in an active manufacturing environment in most of professional life gave me a greater edge in understanding and implementing the practical aspects of manufacturing into my designs which otherwise difficult to learn otherwise.
