About Pavan M. Reddy
Mechanical Design Engineer with 5+ years of experience taking hardware from concept to deployment across R&D, prototyping, manufacturing, and testing. I currently work at Biosphere, where I lead the design and scale of bench-top to pilot bioreactor systems for early-stage products and DoD initiatives, with a focus on cost, reliability, and regulatory alignment.My background spans product design, experimental validation, and hands-on hardware development, structural analysis with prior work ranging from low-cost oxygen concentrators for public health deployment to medical and rehabilitation hardware systems. I enjoy bridging deep engineering rigor with practical execution in fast-moving startup environments.Portfolio: https://sites.google.com/view/pavanmreddy/home
Experience
R & d Mechanical Engineer Iii
Jul 2025 — Present · CA, US
Leading mechanical design & development of bioreactor systems for Dept. of Defense (DOW) project, spanning benchtop, pilot, and demonstration scales — with focus on UV-sterilisation and safety. • Owning a research-driven engineering process: hypothesis generation, experimental design, data analysis, and translation into iterative design improvements. • Driving engineering research into UV sterilization parameters to optimize geometry, material selection, and system design for repeatable sterility and durability • Leading impeller and seal systems using FDA-approved materials and coatings, ensuring compatibility with alternative sterilization processes • Designing, prototyping, and iterating rapidly with plastics & specialty materials (e.g, ULTEM to deliver scalable, sterile, and UV-compatible reactor components. • Optimizing systems for manufacturability, sustainability, and reliability under sterile production conditions. • Innovating new manufacturing workflows & assembly methods to enable cost-effective, scalable production. • Leading cross-functional design reviews across hardware, process, regulatory, and manufacturing teams to ensure alignment.
