Outside work
  • An easy 5K most weeks — the thinking time matters more than the pace
  • A weekly 1K swim to shut the brain off entirely
  • Scouting Bengaluru's restaurants for that rare food-meets-ambience combination
  • Weekend reads with the city's book clubs, whenever the mood strikes

Work Experience

Volvo Group, Bengaluru
Function and Software Defined Vehicle
Experienced Engineer – System Engineer, ECU CoolingAug 2025 – Present
  • Owns electronics and ECU cooling system development as system engineer/component owner, defining concepts, topology, and thermal budgets for control units and power electronics.
  • Leads cross-functional development with Volvo teams and suppliers to secure requirements and keep ECUs within safe temperature and pressure limits across duty cycles.
  • Drives delivery through 1D/CFD tradeoffs, vehicle thermal validation, DFMEA/SFMEA, and risk registers for cooling hardware.
Ola Electric, Bengaluru
System Integration
Manager – Simulation & ModelingApr 2024 – Jul 2025
  • Evaluated 2170/4680/2670 NMC/NCA/LFP cell data (SoC-OCV, DCIR, current limits, cycle life) and defined cell/BMS requirements with suppliers.
  • Built full-vehicle digital twins for battery, PDU, motor, MCU, and charger to generate simulation data for AI models.
  • Used vehicle cloud data analytics to estimate SoH for warranty negotiations and optimize charging strategies.
Assistant Manager – Simulation & ModelingJul 2022 – Mar 2024
  • Defined product specs to hit target performance and range via 1D vehicle simulations (resistance, efficiency, motor, battery, transmission sizing).
  • Developed lumped-parameter and FE thermal models for battery, motor, MCU, and charger temperature prediction.
  • Conducted vehicle energy mapping tests to quantify losses and validate simulations against test data.
Vehicle Engineering InternFeb – Jun 2022
  • Conducted cell/battery thermal runaway and BMS short-circuit testing to investigate root causes of EV fire incidents; CT scanning of defective and burst cells.
  • Developed and patented a ceramic-wool thermal runaway propagation-prevention solution, cutting cost 6x for AIS-156 (Amd-3) compliance.
