Beyond Appliances’ Post

Three words shape our professional lives: work, passion, and career. Throughout my experience in automobile engineering and product design, I’ve learned how crucial it is to align one’s passion with one's profession. Work goes beyond the job itself when it’s driven by a genuine desire to challenge norms, solve complex problems, and innovate. In an ever-changing industry, having a strong passion for what you do makes it easier to overcome challenges and stay committed. Long-term success in engineering and design depends on our ability to continuously learn and adapt. A fulfilling career is born at the intersection of work and passion. It’s not just about what you do—it's about how much you care about doing it well. #ProductDesign #AutomotiveEngineering #CareerGrowth #Passion #Innovation Photo by cottonbro

Engineer's curious at any age! Why do I say this, what proof do I have? 🤔 Most of us aren't blessed with the golden tongue, and I am one of them.   So, as a proactive measure I volunteered at Stannah to be part of the factory tour rotation at the Stairlift factory in Andover.   This really did help me with my communication skills by talking to groups between 2-12 people, but it was one particular group of individuals that I learnt the lesson above.   Fate would have it, but one day I was asked to take a group of retired IMechE members around (since I was a member at the time).   They turned up (about 10 ish in the group) and aged from 60-80 ish I believe.   The tour went well, they asked questions and I answered them all clearly and in my best professional manner 😁 .   But it was when we returned to reception I turned to count the group and realised that one member was missing, none could recall when and where he left the group. 😥   This started a 30 mins hunt for the chap, but we couldn't find him.   On returning to reception I spotted the sample Stairlift one its way down (it cover all 3 floors at Stannah's HQ in Andover).   There sat in that lift was the one individual I was searching for….he had decided to 'test' the stairlift and rode it all the way to the top and back again….. 😅   So, at any age Engineers never loose their curiosity!

Hi connections, Excited to share that I've successfully completed a workshop on "Comprehensive care for two-wheelers and four-wheelers" at Easwari Engineering College! 🚗🔧 This experience has deepened my understanding of automotive maintenance and repair. Grateful for the opportunity to learn from people with great knowledge. Looking forward to applying this knowledge in my future endeavors. #automotiveengineering #workshop #knowledgegained #careerdevelopment #automotiveengineering #workshop #newskills #careergoals #mechanicalengineering

The Heartbeat of My Passion: Automobiles For as long as I can remember, automobiles have been more than just machines to me—they’re a source of inspiration, innovation, and endless curiosity. As a mechanical engineer, I find joy in understanding how every component of a vehicle works together in perfect synchronization to create power, speed, and efficiency. My experience in car engine repairs has deepened my connection to this field. It’s not just about fixing engines; it’s about breathing life back into them, ensuring they perform at their best. Each repair is like solving a unique puzzle, and with every completed task, I’m reminded of why I chose this path. The automobile industry represents the perfect blend of creativity and engineering—a platform where ideas come to life on wheels. My passion lies in not just maintaining this legacy but pushing its boundaries. I dream of contributing to groundbreaking advancements that make vehicles smarter, more sustainable, and impactful for everyday lives. For me, the thrill of automobiles isn’t just in their movement but in their potential to drive change—connecting people, enabling progress, and shaping a better world. This passion fuels my commitment to constant learning and innovation as I strive to leave my mark in this exciting industry. The journey is just beginning, and I’m eager to see where the road takes me.

🚀 My Transformative 6-Month Journey in the Automobile Industry ------ Six months ago, I stepped into the world of the automobile industry as a beginner, eager to learn but with minimal hands-on experience. Today, I am proud to reflect on how far I’ve come and the knowledge I’ve gained during this transformative journey. 🔍 From Basics to Expertise: When I started, I had little knowledge of machines or industrial processes. Over these months, I’ve had the privilege to work with and learn about: CNC & VMC Machines: Mastering precision machining techniques. Induction Hardening: Understanding material strength enhancement. Hobbing Machines: Gaining insights into gear manufacturing. Grinder & Press Machines: Learning finishing and forming operations. Heat Exchangers: Exploring their role in thermal management. 💡 Hands-On Experience: Working on these machines has not only improved my technical skills but also boosted my confidence in solving real-world engineering challenges. Each day presented a new opportunity to grow, from understanding machine operations to ensuring product quality and efficiency. 📈 Looking Ahead: This experience has laid a solid foundation for my career in mechanical engineering, and I am excited to take on new challenges, learn advanced technologies, and contribute meaningfully to the industry. I am immensely grateful to my mentors and colleagues for guiding me through this journey and providing invaluable support. Let’s connect to discuss trends, innovations, or opportunities in the mechanical and automobile engineering sectors! #MechanicalEngineering #AutomobileIndustry #ProfessionalGrowth #LearningByDoing

😀 BUILD YOUR DREAM: How I Customized My Own Motorcycle 🏍️   There’s something incredibly fulfilling about taking a vision and turning it into reality—especially when that vision involves building something with your own hands. 👉 For me, that dream was #customizing my own #motorcycle. 🚧🔧   I didn't just buy a bike off the lot; I designed and crafted many of the parts myself, meticulously planning each detail to make the bike truly my own. 💪 From conceptual sketches to the final assembly, every step was a hands-on journey of creativity, problem-solving, and craftsmanship. The satisfaction of seeing it all come together—knowing that every bolt, every curve, was placed by my own hand—was beyond rewarding. 🛠️   This project wasn't just about creating a unique ride; it was about finding a balance between my professional life and personal passions. 👉In my career, I’m driven by precision and #engineering, but this motorcycle project allowed me to channel that same energy into something deeply personal. 👍 It’s a reminder that building your own dream, whether in work or play, is one of life’s greatest fulfillments. 🌟   And it doesn’t stop there. The same principles that guided me in customizing my motorcycle—attention to detail, creativity, and the drive to build something extraordinary—are the very ones we apply every day in our #engineeringwork at Vinyas Mechanical Engineering 🔧Whether we're designing #fixtures, developing complex systems, or crafting components, it's that same #passion and precision that ensures we deliver top-quality results for our clients.   👉"We keep your production parts in position."  #wearevinyas   What dreams are you building, both in and outside of work? 🏁 #BodyinWhite #AutomotiveManufacturing #ClampingTechnology #ProductionOptimization #WeldingFixtures #Automation #CustomerSatisfaction

Product design vs Mechanical engineering In this week’s episode of Carpool Career Talks, I spoke to Jeanette Chen, a recent MS graduate of Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University. We talked about her journey to mechanical engineering and also explored the Pulgas Water Temple(you should watch the full video to see the vlog!) P.S. This is an episode of a show called “Carpool Career Talks”. You can watch the full conversation on YouTube - Khaulat’s Abode #career #careeradvice #careerclarity #productdesign #mechanicalengineering
