Preetish has over 8 years of experience developing alternative novel environmentally friendly materials in the manufacturing, aerospace, and automotive sector, including owing one design patent for novel material. Recently, he worked as a lead design engineer at Jaguar Land Rover, a subsidiary of Tata Motors where he focussed on reducing the carbon footprint of materials across their global manufacturing supply chain system. This included redesigning the use of the materials in key components such as passenger restraints, bodyworks, and interiors in their next Land Rover vehicle which will launch in [2022] across Europe and Asia.
At Airbus, Preetish co-led the characterisation of the fuselage material (GLARE) for the Airbus A380 to increase the fuel efficiency and reduce waste production. Similarly, at Autoneum, he co-led the development of alternative materials for interiors for EV vehicles such as Audi, BMW, and Ford with the aim of reducing CO2 emission for future products
Preetish holds a PhD in Manufacturing Engineering including a patent from the University of Manchester, an MEng(Hons) in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Salford and an MBA from Said Business School, Oxford.
