Kunal Sonawane — Product Engineer
I’m a Mechanical Engineer pursuing my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in Design, Additive Manufacturing, and Electromechanical Systems. I bridge the gap between concept and reality — from 3D CAD Modeling to Simulation, Prototyping, and Testing — to deliver high-performance, Manufacturable Designs. At Reliance Industries, I led Mechanical layouts for multi-million-dollar brownfield projects, producing 615+ isometrics and ensuring compliance with ASME and OISD standards. At CMU, I’ve worked on projects such as optimizing Additive Manufacturing parameters for improved motor casing Thermal Performance and developing a tracked snow/ice-melting robot incorporating obstacle detection, solution level monitoring, live camera feed, and remote control via a mobile interface. Core Strengths: ⦿ Full product lifecycle: concept → CAD/CAE → prototyping → validation ⦿ Additive manufacturing (LPBF & polymers) with DfAM expertise ⦿ Electromechanical integration for robotics and smart products ⦿ Hands-on fabrication: CNC machining, laser cutting, 3D printing ⦿ Data-driven design improvements through testing & instrumentation I’m passionate about designing innovative Mechanical Solutions for Robotics, Electronics, and Consumer Products that balance performance, reliability, and manufacturability. Let’s connect if you’re looking for a detail-oriented Mechanical Design Engineer who can own the build process end-to-end — and isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty turning ideas into working prototypes.
