Rudra Chandel

Mechanical Design Engineer with hands-on experience across the full design-to-manufacture pipeline — CAD design, FEA/CFD simulation, Mold Flow analysis, and in-house CNC turning and milling. Owner-operator of a precision CNC workshop delivering automotive and drivetrain components, with additional motorsport engineering experience as Head of Design for an SAE BAJA vehicle. Comfortable owning a component from first sketch to finished part, and looking to bring that integrated design-and-manufacturing capability to a heavy engineering and steel manufacturing environment.

• Design and validate mechanical components in SolidWorks, running FEA and CFD simulations to verify structural integrity and flow performance before committing to fabrication.
• Own and operate a precision CNC turning and milling workshop, programming toolpaths in Mastercam and machining components to tight tolerances for automotive and drivetrain applications.
• Run an integrated design-to-manufacture workflow — CAD design, simulation, CNC machining, and quality inspection under one roof — eliminating handoff errors between design and production.
• Apply Mold Flow analysis to guide plastic component design and mold tooling decisions.
• Manage vendor relationships and material procurement to control costs while holding production schedules and quality standards.
