# Kasra A. > Mechanical Design Engineer, Interiors @ Tesla Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/kasraa ## Work Experience ### Mechanical Design Engineer @ Tesla Jan 2024 – Present | Fremont, California, United States Cars i’ve worked on: • Robovan - Designed, Built, Revealed at Warner Bros on 10/10/2024 (Interior, Hard Trims) • All New 2025 Model Y - Designed, validated, and released globally (Interior, Center Console) ### Mechanical Product Designer @ Hybrid Power Solutions Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | Toronto, Ontario, Canada ### Founder @ Kasra Abbasi Studios Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | Toronto, Ontario, Canada ### Engineering Project Manager @ Ontario Power Generation Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada ### CAN - SBX Mechanical Team Lead @ McMaster NEUDOSE Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Hamilton, Ontario, Canada The Stratospheric Balloon Experiment (SBX) is a high-altitude balloon mission aimed to test and validate the satellite sub-system components. • Studied stresses induced in mechanical structure by parachute deployment in free-fall. Oversaw and reviewed structural FEA results, to confirm compliance with CSA flight requirements. • Communicated design intent of satellite structure through engineering drawings and arranged for manufacturing. • Managed BOM, arranged for purchase, and delivery of components from external vendors. • Worked cross functionally with various satellite sub-teams to ensure timely execution of deliverables and system level designs. ### Mechanical Design Engineer @ McMaster NEUDOSE Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Hamilton, Ontario, Canada MIST is a student run team backed by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) with the mission of designing, manufacturing, and launching a Cube-Sat. The Neutron Dosimetry & Exploration (NEUDOSE) mission objective is to gather data from Lower Earth Orbit to study the effects of ionizing radiation on the human body. A budget of $400K has been awarded by the CSA. • Through CAD, designed satellite structure for optimized durability, mass reduction, and ease of manufacturing and assembly (DFMA). • Developed wire harness layout using SOLIDWORKS Routing Wizard. Continuous revision of design achieved a 30% reduction in mass. • Designed the mounting interface of the attitude determination control system (ADCS) given tight spatial constraints. • Created engineering drawings with GD&T to communicate critical features for manufacturing of parts. • Researched solutions and utilized NASA Workmanship Standards to refine design and ensure flight readiness. ### Self-Serve Associate @ IKEA Group Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Toronto, Canada Area ## Education ### Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering McMaster University Jan 2017 – Jan 2021 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kasraabbasi - Website: www.kasraabbasi.com --- Source: https://flows.cv/kasraa JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/kasraa/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-07
