🔹 Introduction I am Pranav Thorat, a passionate Mechanical Engineer with a specialized focus on sustainable automotive electrification. With a robust background in the design and validation of electric vehicle battery systems, I have over two and a half years of hands-on experience in pioneering advancements in electric vehicle technologies. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Science in Sustainable Automotive Electrification at the Warwick Manufacturing Group, University of Warwick. 🔹 Professional Experience My professional experience began at Octillion Power Systems India, where I oversaw the design and validation of high-voltage prototype battery packs. I significantly improved battery safety and operational efficiencies, achieving a 25% increase in efficiency. My responsibilities included rigorous CAE validation, lifecycle testing, and close collaboration with external agencies to improve battery pack designs. I assisted in lowering field issues by 20% by collaborating with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve root causes. Prior to Octillion, I gained practical design experience at Mechatol Engineering Solutions and honed my skills in production and quality control during my internship at Sigma Electric Manufacturing Corporation, where I played a key role in reducing in-house rejection rates by 30%.
