Vipin Gupta
A results-driven Mechanical Design Engineer with over 7 years of hands-on experience in Product Design, Performance Testing, and New Product Development for the automotive industry. Skilled in 3D modeling, tooling design, and validation of mechanical components, with proficiency in CAD platforms such as CATIA V5, Siemens NX, and AutoCAD. Demonstrates a strong understanding of DFM principles, GD&T applications, and end-to-end prototype validation. Adept at collaborating across cross-functional teams to ensure technical accuracy, manufacturability, and performance excellence. Focused on driving product optimization, cost reduction, and process innovation aligned with industrial standards.
My Skills
🔹 Product Design & Development
- Development of 2D/3D models for components, sub-assemblies, and full assemblies using SolidWorks, NX CAD, CATIA V5, and Creo.
- End-to-end tooling development—from concept sketches to validated production-ready tools.
- Engineering of plastic and sheet-metal components with Draft Analysis, Parting Line/Parting Surface Creation, and Class A/B/C Surfacing.
- BOM creation, revision handling, and integration of engineering changes (ECNs/ECRs).
- Execution of DFM, DFA, and feasibility (RTS) studies during early design stages.
🔹 Tooling, Fixtures & Gauge Engineering
- Design and detailing of checking fixtures, validation gauges, and special-purpose tooling.
- Creation of manufacturing drawings with GD&T, tolerance analysis, and datum structuring.
- Development of assembly intelligence for repeatable positioning, alignment, and measurement.
- Design modification based on fatigue/endurance test results for improved durability.
- Optimization of tooling elements for manufacturability, accessibility, and operator safety.
🔹 Automotive Body & Plastic Component Design
- Hood, fender, roof, back-door, and inner/outer panel design using master sections and OEM guidelines.
- Development of closing flanges, hemming profiles, emboss reinforcements, mastic regions, and drip/roof rail structures.
- Design of plastic interior trims, bezels, holders, and full panel assemblies with engineering features.
- Core & cavity development for injection molding with draft studies and tooling feasibility.
- Impact-based considerations including frontal crash influence, heat distortion, and snow-load behavior.
🔹 Performance Testing & Validation
- Fatigue, endurance, and static load testing of mechanical components and prototypes.
- Fixture setup creation for custom test conditions based on customer-specific protocols.
- Validation and reporting of prototype samples with structured test documentation.
- Root-cause analysis and corrective measures based on test deviations.
- Process Flow Diagram (PFD) preparation to support validation and plant operations.
🔹 Documentation, Compliance & Engineering Processes
- CAD Platforms: CATIA V5, Siemens NX, AutoCAD
- Documentation Tools: MS Excel, PowerPoint, Project Management tools
- Analysis & Testing Tools: FEA (basic), Test Rig Setup, Measurement Tools (Vernier, Dial Gauge, CMM)
- Industrial Practices: APQP, DFMEA, GD&T, VAVE, Lean Manufacturing
- Domain Exposure: Automotive components, Plastic & Sheet Metal design, Fixture & Gauge development
