Lahari Battu — Operations Associate
I am a Master's student in Electromobility at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, leveraging a strong foundation in Mechanical Engineering and hands-on experience in both deep-tech research and dynamic product management. My passion lies at the intersection of innovative hardware/software development and data-driven strategy, with a proven ability to turn complex technical challenges into successful, user-focused products. My technical expertise is rooted in research projects within demanding environments, such as my role as a Project Engineer at the DRDO (Indian Defense Research Organisation). There, I pioneered the design and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of advanced metallic auxetic structures and acoustic metamaterials using LS-DYNA and COMSOL, contributing to applications in defense and aerospace. This experience honed my skills in simulation, impact analysis, and systematic research. Complementing this, my internship in Product Management at Housing.com equipped me with a robust skill set in Agile methodologies, market/competitive analysis, and cross-functional leadership. I successfully translated user data and stakeholder feedback into product features that directly increased user engagement, demonstrating my ability to drive product strategy from conception to delivery. I am passionate about applying this unique hybrid background to develop innovative and sustainable solutions in the mobility and technology sectors. Key Expertise: Engineering & Simulation: FEA, Structural & Acoustic Analysis, LS-DYNA, COMSOL, SolidWorks Product Management: Agile/Scrum, PRDs, Market & User Research, SQL, Data Analysis, Jira Core Strengths: Cross-functional Collaboration, Technical Documentation, Problem-Solving, R&D
