AboutDhrumit

Dhrumit Patel

I build, validate, and debug the physical systems behind robotics, automation, and next-generation hardware.

Based In

Toronto, ON

Role

Hardware / Robotics / Systems Engineer

Mechatronics Engineering graduate with hands-on experience across automated validation, robotic and electromechanical systems, sensor integration, and production-floor troubleshooting. I build repeatable test workflows, collect measurement data, and trace faults across mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software boundaries.

Engineering Manifesto

Build·Instrument·Test·Debug

I build physical systems, instrument them, test them, and figure out why they fail.

03Experience

Where I've Been

Hardware Validation Engineer Intern

Rockwell Automation

Cambridge, ON

Sep 2024 — Aug 2025

Automated validation and board-level measurement work spanning VFD parameter sweeps, telemetry, prototype bring-up, and hardware/firmware fault isolation.

Highlights

Developed a Python test framework for VFD parameter sweeps, real-time telemetry, and pass/fail evaluation, reducing manual test execution by about 40%.
Measured voltage and current waveforms, rise time, overshoot, and PWM duty-cycle accuracy during repeatable board-level tests.
Traced schematics and Modbus/TCP and EtherNet/IP behavior during prototype bring-up and hardware/firmware root-cause analysis.
