Senior Product Design Engineer

Bosch Global • Vollzeit

Jan 2022 - May 2026 • 4 yrs 4 mos

I joined Bosch Global after developing a strong foundation in product and mechanical design at Siemens; later transitioned into independent work. At Bosch Global, I stepped into a Senior Product Design Engineer role, taking greater responsibility for complex product development projects and contributing across mechanical design, 3D CAD modeling, product visualization, and design refinement. My work focused on transforming product concepts and technical requirements into accurate, functional, and visually refined 3D designs. I developed detailed components and assemblies, refined existing designs, evaluated design relationships, and considered manufacturability, material selection, assembly requirements, proportions, and overall product functionality throughout the development process. As my responsibilities grew, I became increasingly involved in presenting technical ideas through high quality 3D visualization. I created detailed product models, realistic renders, component views, design presentations, and visual material that helped communicate complex engineering concepts clearly to both technical and non technical stakeholders. This strengthened my ability to connect engineering accuracy with visual quality an approach that became an important part of my professional specialization. Working alongside multidisciplinary teams also gave me valuable experience in design reviews, technical problem solving, concept refinement, and iterative product development. I learned to approach every project from both an engineering and visual perspective, ensuring that the final design was not only technically sound but also clearly communicated and professionally presented. My time at Bosch Global marked an important progression in my career. It expanded the experience I had developed at Siemens and allowed me to take ownership of more demanding product design responsibilities while deepening my expertise in 3D modeling, visualization, rendering, and product development.

Product Design Engineer

Siemens • Vollzeit

Apr 2018 - Oct 2021 • 3 yrs 6 mos

I worked within a multidisciplinary product development environment focused on mechanical design, 3D CAD modeling, engineering visualization, and the development of detailed product concepts. My responsibilities involved translating technical requirements into accurate 3D models and design solutions, developing components and assemblies, preparing engineering documentation, and supporting the visualization of products throughout different stages of development. I worked closely with engineering and design teams to refine concepts, improve component functionality, and ensure that designs were practical, manufacturable, and aligned with technical specifications. Particular attention was given to design accuracy, assembly relationships, material considerations, and the presentation of complex technical concepts through clear 3D models and visualizations. The role provided valuable exposure to structured industrial design processes and strengthened my ability to work with complex assemblies, engineering drawings, CAD workflows, and product development requirements. It also developed my understanding of how engineering data can be transformed into compelling visual content for technical communication, product presentation, and marketing applications. Over time, I took on greater responsibility for complex design assignments and became increasingly involved in product visualization and presentation. The experience established a strong foundation in mechanical product development and 3D visualization, which later supported my progression into more advanced product focused work.
