Engineer & Builder

Arjun Dindigal.
Building things
that move, compute,
and last.

Mechatronics student at Waterloo with hands-on experience in mechanical design, software, and systems that bridge both worlds. I care about making things that actually work.

Experience

  • Designed & validated 10+ production fixtures using SolidWorks with GD&T and DFMA principles.
  • Cut cycle times 20–40 s/operation through fixture & ergonomics redesigns with machinists.
  • Reverse engineered failed robotic components; produced CAD models and fabricated replacements.
  • Reduced defective parts by 10%+ through fixture redesigns and optimised part handling.
  • Full concept → CAD → fabrication → validation ownership deployed directly on shop floor.
  • Jan 2026 – May 2026
  • Built test fixtures and camera systems for 10+ static engine tests with real-time telemetry.
  • Designed 3D-printed enclosures and support structures for harsh testing environments.
  • Assembled and calibrated propulsion systems within 5% of predicted thrust.
  • Aug 2025 – Present
  • Java + FastAPI integration syncing 5,000+ invoices with 99.7% accuracy.
  • Automated Python data pipelines processing 200,000 records/month, cutting manual work by 20%.
  • Shipped 2 production-ready features in 2 months, zero critical bugs deployed.
  • May 2025 – Aug 2025
