About
An engineering generalist profile with deep robotics and automation execution.
Ahmad Kalaaji's public project history shows a broad engineering profile with a strong robotics center: mechanism design, control logic, sensing, embedded implementation, and physical system debugging. The value is not only robotics specialization. It is the ability to connect mechanical, electrical, and software decisions into one working system.
The progression from university robotics projects to BMW Group and then to a senior robotics role at Noyes Technologies is the right signal. It shows increasing exposure to systems that need to do more than merely function in a demonstration setting.
Kinematics, control, embedded systems.
- Robotic arm positioning
- Reaction-wheel stabilization
- Sensor-driven actuation
- Processor-to-processor coordination
Simulation first. Validation always.
The visible work implies a practical loop: model the behavior, implement the control or mechanism, and test until the system behaves under constraints rather than only on paper.
Experience
A path from robotics projects and lab work to senior responsibility in applied automation.
Senior Robotics Engineer
Noyes Technologies
Ahmad's current position is a senior robotics role at Noyes Technologies. The relevant point is not the title alone. It is that the title now aligns with the public body of work: robotics systems, warehouse automation, integration, and engineering ownership.
Robotics Intern
BMW Group
The BMW phase matters because it anchors the profile in a real industrial robotics context where precision, reliability, and process discipline matter more than prototype theatrics.
Engineering Research and Lab Roles
Lebanese American University
Student assistant and undergraduate research roles built the hands-on base: experimentation, hardware work, system debugging, and the kind of physical intuition that software-only profiles usually lack.
Additional Technical Internships
Manipal Institute of Technology and Ramco Trading & Contracting
Early exposure to hydraulic, pneumatic, electro-mechanical, and facility-side systems is relevant because robotics engineers who understand physical infrastructure make better system decisions later.
