Saurabh Dukare | Mechanical & Robotics Design Engineer

About Me

I am a passionate Mechanical and Robotics Design Engineer with a strong focus on building real-world, functional systems. I have significant experience in defence prototyping, having worked on projects related to industry leaders like Adani Defence & Aerospace, Godrej, and L&T, along with exposure to global manufacturers such as Tata and Emerson.

With experience working as an Automation Design Engineer and being an active robotics club member, I thrive on a hands-on approach to engineering and prototyping. From conceptual design to final assembly, I bridge the gap between mechanical design, electronics, and software to deliver robust robotic solutions.
