About Abhilash Talwatkar
I am a design engineer who believes that the best vehicles are built around people. With a Master’s in Mechanical Systems Design from IIT Bhubaneswar and over 6 years in the automotive industry, I specialize in interior design, ergonomics, and CAD development.At Daimler Trucks, I work at the intersection of engineering precision and user comfort. From managing complex BOMs to developing cabin parts and driving ergonomic studies, my focus is always on delivering designs that are safe, functional, and comfortable for drivers.Some of the highlights of my journey so far:Ensured 98% on-time delivery and first-time-right CAD releases.Designed tools that reduced 8 man-hours of manual work per week.Proposed cost reduction ideas, including bracket optimizations and material savings.Played a key role in DFMEA for safety-critical parts like the emergency door.Represented my team in Japan, solving an instrument panel assembly issue directly on site.Beyond design, I enjoy working with diverse teams, learning from different cultures, and contributing to global innovation. With experience in Siemens NX, CATIA, GD & T, and ergonomic standards (SAE J1100, J826, J1516, J4004), I am looking to expand my career internationally where I can bring together technical expertise, leadership, and creativity to shape the future of mobility.
