About Puneet Kumar
As a Freelance Mechanical Designer, I have been designing and developing innovative robots and electric vehicles for various clients and projects. I have also been creating and delivering STEAM/STEM-related kits and courses for students and educators, combining my engineering skills and passion for teaching and learning.
I have a B.tech degree in Mechanical Engineering from SRM University, where I acquired a strong foundation in mechanical design and analysis, CAD, and ANSYS. I have applied these skills in my previous roles as a Mechanical Engineer at Apricot Robotics and a Mechanical Design Engineer at a lithium-ion battery company, where I designed and prototyped products from scratch, conducted stress and motion analysis, negotiated with vendors, and ensured quality standards.
