HI!   I'M SAAHAS KOTIAN,
MECHANICAL ENGINEER

Overview

I'm a recent graduate of Purdue University and an early stage engineer with a primary focus on rapid prototyping and mechanical design. Born, raised and currently based in Cincinnati, Ohio, I'm working as a mechanical engineer in product development at TREW Automation. My primary responsibilities involve new product design and testing as well as managing the development teams' in-house 3D printing and additive manufacturing capabilities.

In addition to mechanical design, my background centers around aerospace manufacturing. My senior design team received the Purdue Engineering award in Sustainability for our Wildfire Reconnaissance Drone "Aquila", a fully 3D-printed VTOL aircraft. I also lead the manufacturing and testing for Purdue Aerial Robotics' "Dodo", the largest collegiate tilt-rotor plane in the nation. Professionally, as a mechanical engineering intern at Alef Aeronautics, I worked on the carbon-fiber production and prototyping for the first FAA approved Flying Car.
