About Kaustubh Bhojane

I am a Mechanical Design Engineer with 4+ years of experience specializing in BEV thermal cooling systems, powertrain and EDU integration, driveline layout, and complete vehicle packaging for global automotive OEMs. I have worked across multiple EV programs covering concept design, digital mock-up feasibility, prototype builds, validation, launch support, and SOP readiness, ensuring robust design maturity throughout the development cycle.My core strengths lie in EV cooling system and hose routing design, degas tank integration, thermal component interface management, and powertrain/propeller shaft packaging. I bring hands-on expertise in CATIA V6, CATIA V5, Creo, 3DEXPERIENCE, Vis-Mockup, Teamcenter, Pro-Piping, and tolerance-controlled 3D/2D modelling. I am proficient in DFMEA, DFA/DFM/DFS, BOM & IFD creation, manufacturability feedback incorporation, static & dynamic clearance studies, and supplier collaboration, always ensuring that designs are production-ready and optimized for cost, feasibility, safety, and long-term reliability.I thrive in cross-functional environments and enjoy working at the intersection of CAE, manufacturing, chassis, electrical, thermal, and supplier teams to solve packaging conflicts, accelerate validation, and ensure smooth prototype and launch execution. Throughout my career, I have contributed to VAVE initiatives, implemented design standardization and platform commonization, and driven improvements in cooling efficiency, packaging compactness, and assembly viability.My role in the Tata Motors Harrier.EV program was recognized with the “Chassis Champion Award”, highlighting my dedication to technical detail, proactive issue resolution, and delivery ownership. I bring a structured and analytical approach to engineering but remain agile and solution-driven during real-time program challenges, tight timelines, and changing integration constraints.I am passionate about advancing electric mobility and sustainable vehicle engineering. My long-term goal is to contribute to large-scale EV adoption by developing efficient, reliable, lightweight, cost-effective thermal and powertrain systems that perform flawlessly across global duty cycles and customer environments.I am open to networking and opportunities in EV thermal systems, powertrain integration, vehicle packaging, product development, and related engineering domains across automotive and future mobility sectors.
