About Yedhukrishnan R

I am a Mechanical Engineer with over three years of experience in product development, CAD modeling, and system-level design, primarily within the automotive and rail domains. My professional journey has involved working on fuel cell systems, battery modules, and electric vehicle architecture, with a strong emphasis on precision, innovation, and cross-functional collaboration.Currently serving as a Senior Engineer at Tata Elxsi, I have contributed to multiple high-impact projects, including the development of hydrogen fuel cell stacks and integration testing of safety-critical systems. My technical proficiency spans tools such as CATIA, NX CAD, SolidWorks, MATLAB/Simulink, and DELMIA, complemented by foundational programming skills in C, C++, and Python.Driven by a deep interest in Systems Engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), I have pursued specialized training and certifications to expand my capabilities in digital design, intelligent manufacturing, and systems modeling. I am particularly focused on leveraging MBSE principles to enhance system integration, lifecycle documentation, and design efficiency.I am actively seeking opportunities that allow me to apply my mechanical expertise within a systems-oriented framework, contributing to innovative engineering solutions that are scalable, sustainable, and future-ready.
