People Story
VJ, Mechanical Engineering Manager
- Hometown: Bangalore, India
- Her favorite part of the job: Getting to work on products at all
stages of development
- What she likes best about being at Belkin: The talented people
who share a vision
- What you’ll find her doing after work: Playing tennis
VJ knows that if he wasn’t working on consumer products, he wouldn’t be satisfied.
“It’s fulfilling to be designing products that most people can afford and can use
to make their lives better,” he says. “I’m designing products that I actually end
up using in my own daily life, too.”
VJ is responsible for managing the mechanical-engineering team and overseeing the
engineering of every product—in every category—that comes through Belkin’s Innovation
Design Group. He’s charged with making sure each product is engineered to meet an
array of goals, from marketing to industrial design. His responsibilities don’t
end once a product makes it to the manufacturing cycle.
“We get to interact closely with the manufacturers and manufacturing engineers on
the production line, making sure our design intent is carried out completely and
that there are no compromises before the product hits the store shelves,” explains
VJ. “I like being involved in the entire process.”
The diversity of products at Belkin makes VJ’s job exciting and challenging at the
same time.
“I really find that variety interesting. Every project is unique, so it always keeps
you on your toes,” says VJ. “Belkin believes in what you can do and gives you the
tools to do it, to execute your vision. There’s freedom here.”
Skills and Values
You are an avid builder—a creator who thrives on taking things apart and then rebuilding
them with a special sense of pride at not using extra parts to do it. A natural
curiosity drives you to constantly reexamine how things work and what makes them
work better. You love creating new electronic hardware and software. You’re detail-oriented,
proactive, and a solid planner. Consumer electronics pique your interest and your
love of your discipline makes you a particularly effective developer. As concerns
and ideas arise, you voice them-and listen to others-with confidence, in a collaborative
spirit that elicits the best from your colleagues and peers.
New challenges are your fuel. At Belkin, you know you will be a part of your product’s
lifecycle from conception until the day it hits store shelves. You adapt easily
to change, and feel at your best in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. You manage
several projects at once, often at different stages, and truly own responsibility
for each.
