ABOUT VARUN V NAIR
Tell me and I\'ll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, I\'ll understand\", this Americal saying has driven me to understand the need for practical, along with theoretical knowledge, and has embedded in me the eagerness to explore, pursue my interest & passion more thoroughly. Experience:UK- Current role as a Technical Leader, E-Drive Systems,I am responsible for the development of System Design,definition of strategies to improve system level functionalities and attributes ( Efficiency) for future all electric-EVs of some marquee brands in the UK, Prior to this,was responsible for overall Performance and Efficiency improvements for in-house JLR(EVs), through EV Powertrain optimisation (eMotor,Transmission,Inverter,Cooling and Lubrication),Attribute matching (meeting performance and efficiency targets), and Engagement in continual improvement initiatives to achieve Program Targets and innovations.India-I have been part of the Product Development Team as a Senior Engineer in the Durability and Attributes division, with more than 7+ projects for Domestic(India) and International markets. I have collaborated with different cross-function teams through design, engineering and validation processes.Technical Skills/ Functional Knowledge:•8.5+ years of Automotive Product Development Experience, this includes EV Powertrain System Development (Sys 1 to Sys 6),Electrical, Attributes, Electromechanical, HW, SW), Integration and Testing. •Proven and demonstrated experience in leading cross functional teams ( Sub-Systems, Attributes, External Partners)•Good Understanding of Systems Engineering, Modelling & Analysis and Simulations - MiL/PiL/HiL•CAE based Structural Analysis• Durability and Fatigue prediction of Automotive components •NVH AnalysisSpecialities- Problem-solving, Strategic visioning, Project Management skills-Enthusiasm to take ownership of problems and get through a conclusion-Electric Powertrain (EDU)Concepts,Trends and key driver assessments,Development and Innovation (Functional and Attribute level)-Motor Controls(FOC/ MTPA / VCLMT)-EV Powertrain Testing-( LV123,LV124,ISO16750)Domain & Skills Group-Product Development (BEVs), EDU Systems, Sub-Systems and Attributes- Powertrain Controls and Functions- Well versed with V Cycle Development, ISO26262 & ASPICE-FEA (CAE)Proficient in :| Model-Based Tools |1) MATLAB/Simulink 2) AVL Concerto| CAD tools and CAE |1) 3D Experience and CAE tools ( Pre-Processing & Post-Processing) predominantly for NVH and Durability assessment.
