I design and build production machines, robotics, and digitally-fabricated products — from CAD and simulation to the finished part on the shop floor.
I'm Ameen Yousef — a Mechanical Design Engineer based in Amman, Jordan, with comprehensive expertise across the design, manufacturing, and monitoring of production processes. My BSc in Mechanical Engineering established a rigorous command of mechanical principles — stress analysis, dynamics, machine design, and CAD. My Fab Academy higher diploma then translated that into hands-on digital fabrication, including CNC machining, sheet-metal work, additive manufacturing, and conventional lathe and milling, and I am now advancing it further through a Master's in Robotics and AI at the University of Jordan.
I have designed and overseen the manufacturing of production machines for the food and pharmaceutical industries, developed robotics and prosthetics, and delivered freelance product design — consistently carrying each project from concept and simulation through to a fully fabricated, working machine.
Through my graduate studies and leadership in robotics competitions, I am focused on integrating advanced robotics and AI into traditional engineering workflows. Beyond the workshop, I enjoy running experiments, learning across cultures, and building connections with people around the world.
Graduate study in robotics, control, and artificial intelligence — extending my mechanical-design background toward intelligent, automated engineering systems.
Provide technical support and engineering expertise for students' capstone, course, and research projects; supervise and mentor student teams through their projects and robotics competition entries; and organize and run a national robotics competition. Teaching assistant for Advanced Manufacturing, STEM, ETS and Advanced Workshop labs, and deliver digital-fabrication workshops covering 3D printing (FDM, SLA, SLS), CNC routing and CNC milling.

Designed production machines and full production lines for the food and pharmaceutical industries to Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) principles, using CNC machining, turning, EDM, sheet-metal fabrication, argon welding, grinding, polishing, and laser, plasma & water-jet cutting. Selected processes and materials to GMP and FDA standards while driving cost optimization, monitored manufacturing and assembly on the shop floor against design specifications, and produced full CAD models in Autodesk Inventor with both assembly-instruction and documentation drawing sets.

An intensive, MIT-originated program in rapid prototyping and digital fabrication — Neil Gershenfeld's "How To Make (almost) Anything," delivered through the global Fab Lab network of 500+ labs. Each week tackled a different discipline: computer-controlled cutting, 3D scanning and printing, electronics design and production, embedded programming, molding & casting, machine design, and input/output and networked devices. It culminated in an integrated final project — a parametric prosthetic hand — pulling those skills together from CAD through to a working, fabricated device.

Design and fabricate customized products tailored to client needs, including small-scale CNC machines for home workshops optimized for bed dimensions and space efficiency. Prototype and test a wide range of designs to ensure functionality, usability, and manufacturability.
CAD design and product development from digital design through to physical prototype, using additive (FDM, SLA, LDM, SLS) and subtractive (CNC machining, laser cutting) manufacturing. Performed silicone molding & casting for part replication, and designed and fabricated PCBs using ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers — including supporting clients with their own boards.
School of Engineering, with a focus on applied mechanics: machine design, stress analysis, dynamics, finite element, strength of materials, and mechatronics. Final project: a self-configuring modular robot.
Production machines for food & pharma — full design, drawings and manufacturing oversight.
3D printing, CNC, laser cutting, molding & casting — from file to physical part.
Turning existing parts and requirements into clean, manufacturable CAD models.
Abdelrahman has shown strong critical-thinking and design ability in Applications in Mechanical Design, driving his team toward fresh, innovative and creative design work.

As a Fab Academy instructor I saw Amin's excellent skills in mechanical engineering and digital CAD/CAM. His drive to meet goals and push his performance makes him a great team member — highly recommended.

Mr. Yousef is a serious, motivated, hard-working person with excellent hands-on skills, a nice personality and good communication.
