Reverse Engineering & Prototyping Engineer

Mechora • Freelance

May 2024 - Jun 2026 • 2 yrs 1 mo

As a Reverse Engineering & Prototyping Engineer at Mechnora, I worked on reconstructing and developing mechanical components from existing parts, measurements, reference models, and physical geometry. My role involved analyzing component dimensions and interfaces, rebuilding accurate 3D CAD models, and refining designs for practical use. I handled reverse engineering projects where existing components needed to be reproduced, modified, improved, or prepared for further development. I worked with complex geometries, mating surfaces, mounting points, tolerances, and clearances to ensure reconstructed models were suitable for assembly and prototyping. I also supported rapid prototyping by preparing CAD models for 3D printing, reviewing printability, adjusting wall thicknesses and interfaces, and making design revisions based on prototype requirements. **Technical Expertise:** • Reverse Engineering • Scan-to-CAD & Mesh Reconstruction • 3D CAD Modeling • Mechanical Component Reconstruction • Product Modification & Redesign • 3D Printing & Rapid Prototyping • STL / STEP Preparation • Technical Drawings • Dimensional & Clearance Analysis • DFM for Prototyping • Mechanical Assemblies • Design Optimization My focus was on producing accurate, editable, and practical CAD models that could be used for reproduction, modification, prototyping, or continued product development.

Electronics & Embedded Systems Engineer

Electro Wing Technologies Private Limited • Freelance

Feb 2022 - May 2023 • 1 yr 3 mos

As an Electronics & Embedded Systems Engineer at Electro Wing Technologies Private Limited, I worked on the development of electronic hardware and embedded systems for practical engineering applications. My responsibilities covered circuit development, schematic design, PCB layout, component selection, hardware integration, and prototype preparation. I worked with microcontrollers, sensors, power circuits, communication interfaces, and electronic components to develop reliable hardware solutions around specific functional requirements. I also supported PCB development from schematic through component placement, routing, design review, and preparation of manufacturing files. My work involved debugging hardware, reviewing circuit behavior, resolving design issues, and refining prototypes to improve reliability and integration. I worked across both the electronics and embedded sides of projects, ensuring that hardware, firmware, power requirements, and connected components worked together correctly. **Technical Expertise:** • Electronics & Circuit Design • Schematic Development • PCB Design & Layout • Embedded Systems • Microcontroller Integration • Sensor & Actuator Integration • Power Supply & Power Management • Hardware Prototyping • PCB Manufacturing Files • Communication Interfaces • Hardware Debugging & Testing • Embedded C / Firmware Support • IoT & Control Electronics My focus was on developing practical, well-structured electronic systems that could move from circuit concept and PCB design through prototyping, testing, and further product development.

Mechanical Product Design Engineer

MechaSense • Freelance

May 2022 - Aug 2022 • 3 mos

As a Mechanical Design Engineer at MechaSense, I worked on the development and refinement of mechanical components, assemblies, and product concepts from initial requirements through detailed CAD design. My work involved translating functional requirements into practical mechanical solutions while considering fit, clearances, mounting interfaces, material selection, manufacturability, and assembly. I developed detailed 3D CAD models and assemblies, prepared technical drawings, and supported designs through prototyping and design revisions. I also worked with existing components and reference geometry for reverse engineering, modification, and reproduction. My technical experience includes mechanical product design, 3D CAD modeling, assembly design, reverse engineering, sheet metal design, design for manufacturing, 3D-printable parts, technical drawings, tolerance considerations, and prototype development. **Technical Expertise:** • Mechanical Product Design • 3D CAD & Assembly Modeling • Reverse Engineering / Scan-to-CAD • Automotive & Mechanical Components • Technical Drawings & Documentation • DFM / DFA • 3D Printing & Prototyping • Mechanism & Interface Design • Dimensional & Clearance Analysis • Product Development I focused on producing accurate, practical CAD solutions that could move efficiently from concept to prototype or manufacturing.
