Design Engineering Manager, Design Engineer My journey with Zeda started in March of 2019 where I have been able to touch and lead phases of the full Product Development Lifecyle. Phase 1: Research, Ideation, Concept Development and Prototyping (2019-2020) I joined the company as a design engineer and sketched, designed, modeled, and prototyped a 50+ of 3D printed products (medical, electronics, consumer goods). I met with customers/surgeons across California to take their ideas and bring them to life. Phase 2: Concept Testing, Engineering Development & Testing (2020-2022) We designed a family of orthopedic devices in-house to be used for commercial use. I led a team of 4-7 engineers, where we brought 3D printing manufacturing capabilities in house, and developed and tested the products and tools for qualification/validation/production. We transformed the Fremont site from a prototyping lab to a small batch production facility. Phase 3: Marketing/Launch (2022-2024) We acquired a CNC/Machining company in Cincinnati (Vertex Manufacturing) for downstream post-processing as well as expansion of the company footprint. I led the technology/process transfer from Fremont to Cincinnati. We also officially launched the product at this point. Afterwards, to increase capacity, we built a 75,000 sq ft facility in Ohio for contract manufacturing medical, aerospace, and aviation additive manufacturing products at a larger scale. I was heavily involved with this build out as well as new technology tool onboarding and qualification, where I onboarded 2 of the latest Additive Manufacturing technologies. I got my hands dirty with product procurement for Medical, Aerospace, and Space applications, and led a team of 15 engineers/technicians/operators and worked with several OEMs. https://www.neelkumarpd.com/projects daily 0.75 2019-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/1487893923365-G93WG05EZWH7BG55B6YE/gunship.png Latest Projects - 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/1487923480822-6N2SJCVAXH92SPNZNOGD/pacman.png Latest Projects - 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/1510531901603-HCDG6YJPA73A7LKTO645/Thumbail3.png Latest Projects - 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/1487302783182-X5RG9D3EXYUYSMU6U98I/University+of+Minnesota+AIAA+Hyperloop+Team_Preliminary+Design+Briefing-page-001.jpg Latest Projects - 2018 - Intro My sophomore year of college, I wanted to compete in the 1st ever Hyperloop Pod Competition hosted by SpaceX. I created, and co-led a team of 53 students that designed a pod from scratch. This included everything from the engineering part of the project to the consumer facing design and loading process of the pod. I was responsible for leading and coordinating the financial, business, design, and mechanical engineering sub teams. We submitted our initial design and got through the first round of competition and got invited to present our pod in Texas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/1526183397891-YIUO0SVCC93UDS0IR2SJ/Class+Presentation-01.jpg Latest Projects - 2018 https://www.neelkumarpd.com/other-projects daily 0.75 2019-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/1487894305967-SOOGRXO9PCPW9XZER2HS/aqua+lens.png Other Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/1487961380495-S9SUD6VSKR2O2WAX31Q8/dangerous+man.jpg Other Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/1526182981006-BHHRFQBNDVTQ44U00QY0/Kumar_Neel-1.jpg Other Projects This product was designed for a portfolio challenge given through my product design program. We were given the task to design and prototype a herb garden container. My design included a kite-like form, an easy watering system, and an exact amount of area needed to sustain a medium sized herb plant for family household usage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/1481886506057-ELCCCKUSUZ0ZH2FSPS1Q/Assignment+3+-+Lamp+-.jpg Other Projects The 70 Degree Lamp was designed as a project for Design for Manufacturing, a class which taught me the most ideal and efficient way to design my products to be mass produced. The prompt was to create a lamp only using one piece of sheet metal, and one run on the plasma cutter. This meant that the shape of the lamp completely depended on how the border of the sheet metal was cut, and how the different areas of the sheet were folded. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/1551668106201-AM4TT1TI3PI67FEN31IZ/Final+Portfolio-page-001.jpg Other Projects The helping hand was designed as a project for Design for Manufacturing, a class which taught me the most ideal and efficient way to design my products to be mass produced. This was the final project for the class. The prompt was to take two or more Design processes we learned over the semester and utilize it to create any product we wished to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/1481883268747-8QLJDKLVRZYN0L6DOZV1/title+page+-+watch.png Other Projects This is my final project for a Concept Visualization and Presentation class. The objective of this project was to showcase my ability to take my sketching, SolidWorks modeling, and rendering skills and put it towards making one final product idea. I came up with a uniquely shaped watch that had a time projection area that would display the time on your skin. It includes a screen for an optional phone notification display area. https://www.neelkumarpd.com/about daily 0.75 2016-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/1481653482047-UQW9MP1KIFOMT7UW0KGZ/45140003-v2.jpg About https://www.neelkumarpd.com/contact daily 0.75 2016-12-16 https://www.neelkumarpd.com/welcome daily 0.75 2017-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/1487922680153-O3CH2ZAAHOQ94BHYEFOB/image-asset.jpeg Welcome https://www.neelkumarpd.com/aboutme daily 0.75 2024-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/7daba206-25cf-44de-99e1-0e3c9c571100/Neel+Kumar-+Resume+-++13-SEP-2024.docx_page-0002.jpg About Me - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/5ba399ca-9b6c-4178-aa63-70b7c7832c56/1575077189134.jpg About Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58501e4ae6f2e1c321b7641b/709125ca-ee34-40b7-bfe4-18bfa9113ba7/Neel+Kumar-+Resume+-++13-SEP-2024.docx_page-0001.jpg About Me - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
