Senior Engineer - System Requirements Engineer – Non-functional requirements at Bosch Global Software Technologies Private Limited (2023-05 – Present)

• Architected and deployed an internal GenAI-based "Requirement Similarity Assistant" to automate semantic comparisons of requirements. This solution slashed engineering lead time by ~65% and delivering $8,880 USD cost + 280 engineering hours saved across 3 global OEM programs and accelerating the requirement approval.
• Spearheaded the definition and prioritization of 15 Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) for Electric Power Steering (EPS) and Steer-by-Wire (SBW) platforms, ensuring strict alignment with stakeholder goals and ASPICE standards.
• Led end-to-end V-Model activities from Use Case development through requirements definition, implementation and testing for Vibration, Storage and Transportation requirements for EPS and SBW platforms, ensuring full traceability and compliance.
• Partnered with safety teams to integrate ISO 26262, SOTIF, and Security concepts into the NFR framework, establishing standardized guidelines that improved audit readiness and requirement traceability across multiple OEM projects.
• Implemented comprehensive requirement traceability strategies from customer needs to Verification & Validation (V&V), reducing compliance gaps and ensuring end-to-end coverage in DOORS/JIRA.

Assistant Manager - Product Engineering – Testing at ZF Rane Automotive India Private Limited (2019-07 – 2023-05)

• Designed and deployed a Digital Test Lab Management System as Project Lead & Process Architect, digitizing the test lifecycle (request → scheduling → reporting), reducing paper workflows by 80%, and enabling real-time tracking; Developed VBA tools for EHPS motor selection and RLDA analysis to optimize weight-to-power ratio.
• Led strength, durability, and reliability validation for Power Steering systems by executing Design Validation Plans (DVPs) using hydraulic actuators and data acquisition systems; optimized test rig planning and scheduling to maximize utilization and meet strict OEM V&V timelines.
• Correlated physical test data with CAE simulations, collaborating with Design and CAE teams to refine analytical models and improve fatigue prediction accuracy.
