What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead PLM and CAD integration, optimize PCM workflows, contribute to NPI, and collaborate cross-functionally for measurable manufacturing improvements.

I am a PLM-focused mechanical engineer with an MTech in Energy Engineering & Management from NIT Calicut and hands-on experience implementing Teamcenter workflows at Wabtec. I have led FEA data migrations, PCM automation for Proposal BOM costing, and designed MBE 3D weld proofs for structural components while supporting locomotive projects.

I combine CAD/PLM expertise (Siemens NX, Teamcenter), simulation skills (Ansys Workbench, GT Suite), and practical manufacturing experience from NPI and in-plant training to drive process improvements and reduce cycle times. I deliver technical leadership in ECO/SDR/AML management, root cause analysis, and cross-functional collaboration.
