About Pranava Mudigonda
I’m a Mechanical Engineering student at Purdue (Dec ’25) passionate about product design, manufacturing, and solving tough engineering problems from first principles.At Tesla, I interned in both Technical Program Management and Mechanical Design, contributing to the launch of the refreshed 2025 Model Y. I led global validation and redesign efforts for the door trim system, reducing installation force by 75% and driving design changes across Fremont, Berlin, and Austin. I also managed R&D timelines, developed cost models, and improved injection molding processes for interior plastics.Earlier at Gibson, I engineered fixtures, improved lacquer quality, and authored SOPs for high-volume guitar manufacturing.I’m driven to build elegant, manufacturable products that improve lives, and I’m excited to work with teams that care about iteration, craft, and real-world impact.
