About
I’m a mechanical engineer with over 10 years of experience designing and developing electromechanical products from concept through production. My professional background is primarily in automotive engineering, where I’ve worked on products integrating motors, sensors, electronics, cameras, and mechanical systems.
Outside of my professional work, I design and build robots that combine custom mechanical hardware, embedded electronics, sensors, computer vision, and software. My projects include mobile robots, robotic arms and grippers, custom mechanisms, and automated test systems. I use tools including Onshape, SOLIDWORKS, 3D printing, metal fabrication, Raspberry Pi, and Python to take ideas from CAD to working hardware.
I also create robotics and engineering content through Aviv Makes Robots, where I document builds and teach CAD and engineering concepts to a technical audience.
