TYSONS, VA, UNITED STATES, September 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- M.C. Dean has named Pushkar Vaidya as its first director of product engineering. Vaidya’s appointment marks a significant step in their modular delivery advancements for complex products developed at their Modular Mission Critical™ manufacturing campus.

In this new role, Vaidya will work closely with the company’s design and manufacturing leaders to improve the strategy, development, and delivery of their newest modular products. He will guide the end-to-end product development process — from concept through launch — ensuring optimal innovation, quality, and operational excellence.

“Pushkar brings deep expertise in electro-mechanical product development within world-class manufacturing environments, and his experience perfectly complements our world-class engineering and design functions,” said Mike Keatley, M.C. Dean senior vice president of Engineering & Construction. “He joins the company at a pivotal time as we plan for major expansions in modular delivery to meet hyperscale customer demands.”

Vaidya will work out of their Modular Mission Critical™ campus, where M.C. Dean has invested more than $100 million in recent years, expanding production space, streamlining processes with lean principles, and improving the overall environment and tools for the site’s nearly 700 employees.

“I’m excited to join a company with a bold vision for its modular product program to support the massive growth in the industry for mission critical power worldwide,” said Vaidya. “I look forward to teaming up with other leaders to evolve M.C. Dean’s product lines for continued market leadership.”

Vaidya has over two decades of proven expertise in end-to-end product development across the clean energy, power systems, and automotive industries. With leadership roles at Accelera and Cummins, he has successfully led cross-functional teams in the design, validation, and commercialization of advanced technologies such as PEM electrolyzers, hybrid battery systems, and rental gensets, aligning engineering strategies with business objectives to accelerate time-to-market. His track record includes driving innovation through modular design principles, design for manufacturability (DFM), and robust compliance processes (UL, ISO) while fostering collaboration across product management, marketing, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain.

He holds a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Wayne State University and a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Pune University.
