During my time as the Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Peyk company, I oversaw a project that focused on creating a delivery robot through CAD designing using SolidWorks. To bring this project to fruition, we utilized a variety of cutting-edge technologies such as CNC and Lathe Machining, 3D Printing, sheet metal Laser Cutting and bending, and composite materials such as carbon fiber. Our team also designed and manufactured an ultralight carbon fiber structured chassis, a BLDC hub motor, a special hinge mechanism, a lithium-ion battery pack, a 26L Vacuum Degassing System, and aluminum molds for the composite body.
As a mechanical engineer at Peyk company, I was responsible for designing and manufacturing a prototype of a new and innovative flying robot with a lightweight structure capable of carrying a 5 kg payload for up to 30 minutes. For this project, we utilized CAD design in SolidWorks, 4-axis CNC machining, laser cutting, and 3D printing to create small yet strong aluminum joints for the structure, as well as carbon composite material for the body skin. High-power BLDC motors, ducted fans, and Lithium polymer were also used as propulsion and energy units.
I have experience in designing thrust stands for various companies and startups as part of my work in designing and manufacturing robotic test equipment. Recently, I was involved in a project to develop a thrust and test stand for the Flying Delivery Robot team to measure the performance of their propulsion unit. As a mechanical engineer, I was responsible for designing and manufacturing an aerodynamic structure, using a single-point load cell to measure thrust and torque to analyze our propulsion and propeller units to achieve an optimal design. Our thrust and test stand is also capable of measuring RPM, voltage, current, and vibration of the propulsion unit with high accuracy. This stand can operate using two propelled BLDC motors with a maximum thrust and torque of 50kg and 10N.m, and one ducted fan with a maximum thrust of 5kg (in different installation positions). For this project, I used SolidWorks for CAD design, 3-axis CNC machining, laser cutting, and aluminum profiles.
I began developing a new electric propulsion system for air taxis and heavy payload flying robots at VolantRotor startup. After conducting extensive research, I discovered the potential of the Axial Flux Motor in terms of torque density, power density, and lightweight design for flying robots and Urban Air Mobility (UAMs). Despite my startup's failure, I persevered and developed numerous prototypes for flying robots. The goal of the initial version was to achieve a thrust density of 10 N.m/kg and a power density of 10 kW/kg. In the manufacturing process, I utilized SolidWork for CAD design, 3D printing, Lathe CNC machining, 3-Axis CNC machining, deep groove ball bearings, N42 Neodymium magnets, Form Litz Winding, high-power electronic speed controllers, digital tachometer RPM meters and non-oriented electrical steel. I have designed and manufactured six prototypes so far, and I am currently working on a new version for actual testing.
As a personal project and to assist my university peers with these prototypes, I designed a servo mount with a linear gear. This mount allows for the movement and control of a flying robot using a moving mass mechanism. To create this project, I utilized Solidworks for CAD design and 3D printing. Additionally, I developed a test bed for further experimentation.
At Aticomposite Company, I served as the Head of Aerospace Engineering and oversaw the creation of an agricultural flying robot designed to spray pesticides. My responsibilities included calculating the energy and power requirements for models with payloads ranging from 5L to 30L, and selecting the optimal subsystems, such as motors, propellers, electronic speed controllers, batteries, and high-power distribution boards. Additionally, I designed a lightweight and sturdy structure that was modular and foldable, making it easy to transport. To achieve this, I utilized various software, including SolidWorks and Autocad for CAD design, SolidWorks for reverse engineering, SolidWorks Visualize for industrial rendering and animation creation, 3-axis CNC machine, Laser cut, and Carbon composite sheet.

As a research and development project in UAVLAb, I created a caged flying robot using various tools and materials. For the CAD design, I utilized Solidworks and AutoCAD, laser cutting, 3D printing for the joints and main frame, carbon fiber rod for the main structure, a small BLDC motor, and a propeller for propulsion. To power the robot, I used Lithium Polymer batteries. For control, I used a Futaba T6j radio controller and a DJI NAZA-M V2 as the controller.
I was working on an R&D project at UAVLAB where I developed test equipment for flying robots. For CAD design, I utilized SolidWorks and Autocad. I used 3D printing, laser cutting, and EDM machining in the manufacturing process. The Spherical joint mechanism was used as a 3 DOF Joint.
I led a team of five in our Flight Mechanics I course project at university. To design and simulate aerodynamics, we utilized Solidworks and Autocad for CAD. Laser cutting was employed during the manufacturing process to achieve precision cuts on Balsa wood sheets and carbon fiber rods. We also used a hot glue gun and heat-shrinkable skin covering film, along with a heat-shrink film iron. For propulsion, we incorporated T Motor 2213 BLDC motors and T9545 propellers, with Lithium Polymer batteries providing the necessary energy. Our controller setup included a Futaba T6j radio controller and a DJI NAZA-M V2 as the primary controller.
Our team at Karsaza startup worked on a personal hobby project where we built a PT40 RC airplane. We utilized Solidworks and Autocad for CAD design, laser cutting to cut balsa wood sheets, hot glue gun and heat-shrinkable skin covering film, heat-shrink film iron, carbon fiber rods, servo motors for surface control, Emax BLDC motor and propeller for propulsion, and a Futaba T6j radio controller.

While I was studying at the university, I collaborated with Dr. Alisadeghi on a project aimed at developing a small helium balloon that could provide internet and communication during times of emergency in the city. This project was similar to Google's Project Loon. My primary responsibility was to figure out how to make the balloon using urethane-coated nylon. To accomplish this, I created a simple Hand Held Heat Sealer device that could connect and seal the small pieces of cut nylon to form a sphere. Furthermore, I oversaw the design and implementation of a test system to check the balloon's capabilities with helium gas.
