I’m Rohan, a third-year Mechatronics Engineering student at the University of Manchester. I work on embedded electronics, robotics and mechanical design projects.
Selected work
Some of my university and personal projects in electronics, software and mechanical design.
Developed STM32 subsystems for sensing, telemetry and operator feedback, connecting electronics through CAN and UART with a Raspberry Pi dashboard.
Focus: subsystem integration, communications and test.
Product design / Concept
A briefcase-style computer concept combining a display, keyboard and trackpad in a portable enclosure. Exploring component packaging, usability and custom internal mounts.
Concept visualisation
Mechanical design / Concept
Mechanical concept and CAD development for a quadruped platform, including component modelling, packaging and simulation work in SolidWorks.
Concept visualisation
Robotics / Concept
Mechanical and mechatronic robot concept developed in CAD, exploring actuator packaging, joint geometry and practical system integration.
Concept visualisation
Electronics design
An STM32-based digital multimeter design with a custom PCB for measuring voltage, current and resistance.
Vehicle electronics
STM32-based vehicle tracker with GPS positioning, SIM800 cellular communication and planned geofencing, alarm and immobilisation features.
Embedded hardware
A portable controller concept with a display, physical controls and a custom enclosure.
Experience
MBDA Missile Systems
Designed and built a hardware test interface for telemetry equipment, working from a technical specification and consulting across teams. Produced CAD, prototype-board electronics and engineering documentation while using oscilloscopes, multimeters and serial protocols including SPI, I²C and UART.
Hyperloop Manchester
Led development across embedded electronics and software, coordinating subsystem integration, communications, sensing and safety-critical design decisions across a multidisciplinary student engineering team.
University of Manchester
Third-year student studying control systems, embedded electronics, mechanical analysis, power electronics and concurrent systems.
Working with STM32 boards.
How I work
I enjoy working on projects that involve electronics, software and mechanics. I like figuring out how the parts fit together and testing them on the bench.
I’ve worked with STM32 microcontrollers, designed PCBs and CAD models, and built hardware test setups. I’m looking for a graduate role in embedded systems or robotics where I can put these skills to use and learn from experienced engineers.
