PROFILE SUMMARY
Design & applications Engineering
Bringing over 8 years of experience in PTC
Creo, generative design, and application
engineering, I specialize in supporting Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to integrate
and optimize ZF steering systems. Proficient in
traditional hydraulic and advanced electric
power steering (EPS) systems, adept at
software and mechanical design to ensure
alignment with vehicle specifications. As an
Assistant Manager at Carraro India, I oversaw
3D and 2D release management, cast-forged
parts design, BOM preparation, and customer
change request management. I contributed to
successful project outcomes such as BHL and
EGR cooler designs, demonstrating strong
abilities in DFMEA, FEA, and sheet metal
manufacturing processes, and driving
substantial product development and cost-
saving endeavors.
