About Dheeraj Nandakumar
Mechanical Design Engineer | Battery Enclosures | Creo | Windchill | DFM/DFA | WeldmentsI’m a mechanical design engineer with hands-on experience in developing battery enclosure systems for energy storage applications, currently working with Fluence Energy through Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). I specialize in 3D modeling, sheet metal design, and mechanical weldments using Creo, with expertise in managing product data and lifecycle through Windchill PLM.My role involves creating innovative and cost-effective design concepts, optimizing for Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA), and ensuring design feasibility in close coordination with cross-functional teams. I take ownership of the entire design process—from concept development and prototyping to BOM structuring and production support.I’ve contributed to lead time reduction, design standardization, and improved manufacturability by simplifying complex structures and promoting reusable design components. Passionate about solving real-world engineering problems and delivering reliable, production-ready solutions that align with business goals.Core Skills:# 3D Modeling (Creo), Sheet Metal, Weldments, Solid Part Design# DFM/DFA, Cost Optimization, Design Validation# Windchill PLM, BOM Management#Cross-Functional Collaboration, Product OwnershipLet’s connect if you\'re passionate about clean energy tech, mechanical design, or engineering innovation
