ABOUT ASHISH NAGRE

I am a Validation & Durability Engineer with end‑to‑end experience in HV battery testing, road load data acquisition and analysis, structural vehicle /component durability and functional testing, and full‑vehicle accelerated testing, pre certification testing. I deliver accurate, repeatable validation that improves product reliability, reduces warranty exposure, and supports robust design decisions across EV and ICE platforms- Validation Delivery• HV battery vibration, shock, sled, crush & environmental testing• Vehicle durability: accelerated endurance, duty‑cycle generation, on‑road measurement• Mud driving, kerb impact, water wading, dust, shower & highway durability• Fleet vehicle data analysis & customer usage mapping• Component/system testing: wheel hub, transmission, PTO endurance• Door slam, cabin endurance, drop test, coconut test, frontal/roof crash support, all sprung and unsprung mass components- Technical Expertise• Instrumentation: strain gauges, accelerometers, LVDTs, thermocouples, WFT, pressure/flow sensors• Data loggers: LMS SCADAS, HBM Edaq, Ki‑Center, IPETRONIK, AUTERRA, IMC, Influx• Signal processing & fatigue life prediction (~95% accuracy)• Tools: nCode GlyphWorks, LMS Test.Lab, Concerto, CANalyser, MATLAB• Rigs: servo‑hydraulic/pneumatic rigs, single/two/four poster rigs, environmental chambers• Field‑to‑lab correlation, accelerated testing & CAE correlation- Warranty & Field Issue Resolution• Root‑cause analysis of high‑cost warranty failures• Investigation of issues from:• Manufacturing variation• Multi‑sourcing inconsistencies• Real‑world customer abuse• Supplier process deviations• Corrective actions that eliminated variation‑driven failures• Significant reduction in warranty cost & improved DVP robustness- Project & Facility Management• Test planning, resource scheduling & milestone tracking• CAPEX planning, procurement & commissioning of new rigs• Facility layout, instrumentation inventory & calibration management• Vendor coordination, technical specification finalisation & audits• Weekly/monthly/quarterly technical reviews & reporting- Achievements• Delivered multiple high‑impact validation programmes across EV & ICE platforms• Resolved complex field failures through data‑driven RCA & corrective actions• Improved test standards, introduced new methodologies & strengthened robustness• Supported innovation/IPR with multiple notarised ideas & completed projects• Consistently recognised for validation delivery, accuracy & engineering judgement
