About
I'm Richard L. Mohabir, an engineer specializing in mechanical and mechatronics projects. I hold an M.S. in Robotics Engineering and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).
Throughout my career, I have worked on various notable projects, such as building an ignition circuit for aerospace experiments, designing the electrical circuit and mechanical enclosure for a motor system's control panel, and developing sheet metal jigs and weldment fixtures to streamline the deployment of robotics systems.
I'm currently looking to take on new and exciting projects that I can work on in my spare time.
