Karthick Ravichandran’s work industrializing electric vehicle architectures is built on a conviction that quality is a design responsibility, not a manufacturing one—and that the failure modes introduced by high-voltage batteries, thermal runaway propagation, and HV insulation breakdown require electrochemists and functional safety engineers in the DFMEA room from the start, not inspectors at the end of the line. His closed-loop methodology ensures that every warranty claim and field anomaly feeds back into the next program’s risk library, so future platforms start from known failure data rather than engineering judgment alone.
