Hi! My name is,

Yash Morbia

Thanks for visiting my portfolio. Whether you're a recruiter, fellow engineer, collaborator, or simply curious, I hope you enjoy exploring my work.

I work at the intersection of mechanical engineering, production scale-up, and technical execution, with 4+ years supporting FDA-cleared electromechanical devices. My work spans tolerance-driven design, GD&T, DFM/DFA, fixture development, verification, and production readiness, helping teams carry rigor from early prototype builds into stable manufacturing through disciplined cross-functional execution.

  • Scaled weekly output from 500 to 1,500 units through fixture strategy, process refinement, and manufacturing execution.
  • Improved yield stability and reduced field returns through thermal management, structured root-cause analysis, and repeatable build control.
  • Developed 20+ production and test fixtures to control critical tolerances and reduce operator variability.
  • Improved first-pass yield from 85% to 95% through GD&T-informed design decisions, repeatable build control and process refinement.
  • Led cross-functional execution across engineering, suppliers, production, and ISO 13485-aligned quality systems.

Process improvements supported by GD&T, root-cause analysis, and Six Sigma-style discipline.

Capabilities

How I operate

Mechanical engineering is the core. The other three are areas I took real ownership of because the product required it, not to broaden my resume, but because no one else was doing it.

Primary identity

Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering

I design hardware for the full lifecycle, not just for the CAD review. Every design decision I make accounts for how the part will be made, how it will be tested, and how it will behave after a year in the field.

  • Designed and iterated on an FDA-cleared handheld laser device from early concept through production release
  • Developed 20+ production and test fixtures to control critical tolerances and reduce operator variability
  • Led thermal redesign across two phases, grill geometry and internal heatsink, that brought field return rates to under 3%
<3% field returns

Production Leadership

Production is an engineering problem. I approached it the same way I approached design, with time studies, structured iteration, and documented processes that could hold up under an audit.

  • Led and mentored a 10-person production team for 4+ years
  • Redesigned workflow and fixture strategy to triple weekly output without adding proportional headcount
  • Developed all SOPs under ISO 13485 document control for training and audit readiness
500 → 1,500 units/week
Force multiplier

Supply Chain & Vendor Systems

I managed suppliers the way I managed engineering problems, with data, contingency planning, and a bias toward preventing issues before they hit the line.

  • Sourced and qualified 15+ suppliers across the US and Asia
  • Built second-source strategies for high-risk components to eliminate single points of supply failure
  • Negotiated a 17% reduction in component costs through competitive bidding and volume consolidation
17% supplier cost reduction
Force multiplier

Quality & Regulatory Execution

I treat CAPAs, audits, and design controls as engineering work, not paperwork. The documentation is only useful if the underlying problem is actually solved.

  • Supported 3 MDSAP and 5 internal ISO 13485 audits with zero major findings across all eight
  • Managed 15+ CAPAs from root cause through verified closure across design, process, and supplier quality
  • Maintained DHF and DMR documentation through multiple design changes and production transitions
8 audits, 0 major findings

Looking ahead

What I'm Looking For

I'm looking for a senior mechanical engineering or product development role where the hardware is complex, the systems are real, and engineering decisions carry visible consequences in manufacturing and the field.

The strongest fit is a team that values rigor, cross-functional execution, and the details that make products repeatable at scale, from tolerance stack and thermal margins to build discipline and production readiness.

If this profile fits a role you are hiring for, I would welcome a conversation.
