IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a mechanical engineer with 5.4 years of practical experience in design and manufacturing, including a one-year government apprenticeship at CSIR-CSIO. I focus on opto-mechanical reverse engineering, redevelopment of parts, and end-to-end coordination from raw material to finished product.
At CSIR-Central Scientific Instruments Organisation I worked as Project Assistant and Project Associate-I in the Optical Devices and Indo-Swiss Training Centre divisions, contributing to CSIR-integrated skill initiatives and ongoing design projects.
I have led small teams in the defence sector, managed project workflows, and handled responsibilities spanning project coordination, drafting in AutoCAD, and manufacturing process oversight. I hold a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering and a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering.
I bring a hands-on ethos, demonstrated by multiple industrial trainings, a government-certified Turner skill certificate, and active participation in technical workshops and competitions. I seek roles where continuous learning and practical problem-solving are central.
