Industrial Systems · Product Development · R&D
Great engineering is proven in the field,
where it matters most.
I am a Mechanical Design Engineer and R&D Engineering Leader with 4+ years of experience designing, developing, and deploying high-reliability mechanical and electro-hydraulic systems for safety-critical applications across oil & gas, sanitation robotics, defence, and medical sectors.
My work spans the full product development lifecycle — from feasibility and concept design through subsystem engineering, prototype development, testing, and field validation. I have contributed to and led development of multiple field-deployed robotic systems, with deep hands-on expertise in hydraulic system design, structural analysis and optimisation, electro-mechanical integration, and design for manufacturability.
I have coordinated and led cross-functional teams of engineers across design, fabrication, validation, and manufacturing — driving projects from early R&D through to deployment while maintaining focus on reliability, safety, and real-world performance.
My core engineering tools are SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and ANSYS Workbench, applied across 3D design, manufacturing documentation, FEA, and structural validation. I also hold a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, which I apply to continuous improvement, root cause analysis, and engineering process optimisation.

Genrobotics · Robotics & Industrial Systems
Led R&D delivery of industrial robotic cleaning systems (DRACO, G-Mammoth) — owning system-level mechanical architecture across hydraulics, structures, and materials to improve reliability, durability, and lifecycle performance.
Coordinated cross-functional teams of 10–15 engineers across engineering, procurement, and manufacturing. Defined validation plans, test protocols, and acceptance criteria. Drove design improvements through RCA, Lean, and value engineering — achieving zero major audit non-conformities and 96% on-time delivery.
Genrobotics · Robotics & Industrial Systems
Led end-to-end mechanical design and prototyping of DRACO, improving sludge extraction and buoyancy performance by 30%. Designed and deployed test rigs, cutting validation cost by 20% and cycle time by 25%.
Conducted 15+ linear and non-linear FEA studies in ANSYS Workbench across Genbot, Wilboar, and G-Gaiter. Performed design calculations, tolerance analysis, and material selection. Resolved 10+ design-to-production issues with manufacturing teams.
Genrobotics · Robotics & Industrial Systems
Designed mechanical subsystems for Bandicoot, Wilboar, G-Gaiter, and Mobility+ — creating 3D models, assemblies, and fabrication drawings in SolidWorks and AutoCAD. Prepared and controlled 300+ line-item BOMs for manufacturing, procurement, and quality.
Conducted feasibility studies and structural analysis to improve durability and reduce cost. Supported 20+ prototype builds and field trials, incorporating test feedback into iterative design improvements.

WordMy academic journey progressed from strong mechanical fundamentals to system-level design, and further into structured, data-driven problem solving and process improvement.
System Design · Mechatronics · FEA · Product Development
I completed my Master of Design (M.Des) in Mechanical Systems from IIITDM Kancheepuram, a programme focused on hands-on product engineering and system-level design.
The coursework combined mechanical design with mechatronics, advanced manufacturing, and simulation-driven engineering. I worked on product development, mechatronic systems, and FEA, with a strong emphasis on taking concepts from idea to working systems.
This phase helped me move from component-level thinking to system-level design, understanding how different elements integrate in real engineering applications.
Core Mechanics · Manufacturing · Fluid Systems · Engineering Fundamentals
I completed my B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from Government Engineering College, Thrissur, building a strong foundation in thermodynamics, mechanics, fluid systems, machine design, and manufacturing.
I was also exposed to operations, supply chain, and management basics, helping me understand how engineering decisions connect to production, cost, and real-world delivery.
Most of my learning came through labs, workshops, and projects, shaping a practical, hands-on approach to engineering.
DMAIC · Root Cause Analysis · Process Improvement · Data-Driven Decisions
I completed Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification, where I learned to approach engineering and process problems in a structured, data-driven way.
The focus was on identifying root causes, improving processes, and enhancing efficiency and quality using frameworks like DMAIC and basic statistical analysis.
This added a strong problem-solving and continuous improvement perspective to my engineering approach.
