“The shared commitment is what makes working at Kalpana Systems so special—everyone is working toward the same goal.” Meet Arash, who shares more about working as a Mechanical Design Engineer at Kalpana Systems.
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, I love starting my day with a fresh cup of coffee while checking my emails and to-dos. Mornings are my favourite time to focus on design work when I’m sharp and ready to go!
Throughout the day, I get to collaborate with my colleagues with different expertise to solve technical challenges together. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is tackling major system rebuilds. It’s amazing to be part of a team that pulls everything together just right, ensuring the machines run smoothly the next day. There is a lot of variety in what I do. In addition to working on CAD designs and technical drawings, I also get my hands dirty. This practical side of the job keeps things fun and gives me a nice break from all the computer work.

Our equipment needs precision and technical skills. We develop a complex machine that runs on unique technology. But this job isn’t just about technical knowledge. It’s also about teamwork. We troubleshoot problems and brainstorm creative solutions together, which is a big part of our daily routine. We keep our meetings short so we can get back to creating!
The shared commitment makes working at Kalpana Systems so special—everyone works toward the same goal. What I love too, is that there’s also room for fun. Sharing laughs with my teammates over lunch is a highlight of my day, especially if I can lighten the mood with a little joke!”
