• Promoted to a full-time design and analytics role with greater ownership over design execution, reporting automation, and cross-functional coordination. I lead key projects in layout planning, data-driven optimization, and new product development.
• Engineer responsibility:
• Independently design and optimize plant layouts for production efficiency, material flow, and space utilization.
• Lead New Product Development (NPD) for customized solutions — from requirement gathering to CAD modeling, design validation, and client approvals.
• Apply DFM/DFA principles to reduce manufacturing cost, streamline assembly, and minimize design complexity.
• Manage and maintain accurate, version-controlled BOMs, integrated with procurement and production planning systems.
• Perform advanced design calculations for strength, tolerance, and feasibility using engineering formulas and software.
• Create complete design documentation packages, including drawings, assembly guides, fabrication notes, and compliance specs.
• Own end-to-end stall layout and fabrication design for large-scale industrial exhibitions, coordinating directly with cross-functional teams and external vendors.
• Analyst responsibility:
• Lead the creation of Excel and Tableau dashboards for vendor performance, customer response, and quotation analysis.
• Write SQL queries to extract and transform data from internal databases for regular and ad hoc analysis.
• Perform in-depth BOM vs. usage audits, contributing to procurement optimization and inventory accuracy.
• Deliver clear and actionable insights to operations, procurement, and management teams during monthly reviews.
• Ensure data integrity by implementing validation checks and maintaining structured data pipelines.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to define data requirements and continuously improve report usability.
• Exploring integration of Google Analytics and BigQuery for digital insights and future reporting expansion.

• Created and maintained Excel-based trackers for customer enquiries and project status updates.
• Conducted preliminary analysis of BOM vs. actual usage and flagged anomalies for deeper investigation.
• Participated in data cleaning and formatting to ensure accuracy in dashboards and internal reporting.
• Worked alongside the analyst team to build standardized reporting templates used across departments.
• Shadowed senior team members during review meetings and gained exposure to cross-functional reporting workflows.
• Initiated self-learning in SQL

Aug 2023 – Nov 2023 · 3 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India · On-site

• As an Engineer Trainee, I underwent intensive hands-on training across core departments, gaining full exposure to project execution, design, automation, and data-driven analysis. This experience built a strong multidisciplinary foundation and helped me understand how different functions contribute to engineering success.
• I began with the Projects Department, actively supporting planning, scheduling, and tracking project progress. I helped prepare execution plans, coordinate across teams, and ensure deliverables were met — gaining insights into real-world workflows and team coordination.
• In the Design Department, I worked on 2D/3D modeling, component selection, and BOM creation using Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD. I learned to interpret drawings, modify layouts, and assist in developing system designs for pneumatic conveying systems.
• During my Data Analytics training, I analyzed datasets on material usage, costs, and enquiries. Using Excel and Power BI basics, I created reports that supported smarter decisions and highlighted areas for cost and process optimization.
• In the Electrical & Automation Department, I explored control panel layouts, sensor setups, and PLC basics. I understood automation logic and how instrumentation impacts performance.
• My Site Exposure involved supporting installations, commissioning, and coordinating with teams to resolve on-ground challenges.
• Lastly, with the Proposal Team, I reviewed tender documents, helped in technical offers, and assisted in cost estimation — learning how strong planning supports project success.
• This cross-functional experience helped me merge engineering skills with data thinking to support smart, practical solutions.
