Rathish Hegde

• Handled projects for multiple OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturers) in Value Engineering & Cost target setting for new product development with a team of 2-5 Engineers. • Coordinated and supervised the technical and engineering activities. • Project, Resource, & Budget planning with milestones management using MS Office. • Analyzing project pace and augmenting resources to ensure project completion within deadlines

• Conducted detailed benchmarking, cost estimation and competitor analysis to optimize system designs, enhance manufacturability, and improve quality and reduce costs for vehicle components and products. • Performed should-cost analysis for mechanical and structural components (sheet metal, fabricated frames) by analyzing drawings, BOMs, and manufacturing processes.

•Executed a benchmarking methodology with standardized procedures that allow analysis, comparison, search, and report on systems and subsystems. The main systems are shown in assembly schematics to understand system design and navigate through the components. •Delivered product architectural study to generate cost-saving by optimizing design philosophy Design & Development of an EV bus for an Original Equipment Manufacturer
