Dr. Mohamad KARDOFAKI

My role covers development and qualification of new aerospave hydraulic equipments, the duties include 3D modelling and DMU management CFD and FEA-based structural and thermal validation, and the definition of test strategies for functional and environmental qualification — across standards including MIL-STD-810, RTCA DO-160, and AS9100. Beyond the engineering, I contribute to R&D roadmap definition and help identify external funding opportunities to accelerate capability development — a part of the role I

Kalysta was a deep-tech spinoff from SATT Paris-Saclay, working on electro-hydrostatic actuators for aerospace applications. It was a small, fast-moving team — the kind of environment where you own the full development cycle and there's no room to specialise too narrowly. I led the design and validation of EHAs, hydraulic power units, and associated sensors — integrating PCBs, selecting components, and managing interfaces across mechanical, hydraulic, and electronic subsystems. I also built and maintained

-Modeling, Design and Fabrication of a first prototype of a scalable exoskeleton called “SOL” (mechanical structure, attachment to human, backpack PCB integration, crutch sensor integration, BOM, 2D drawings) -Study, Design and Fabrication of a several iterations of a Electric Rotary Actuator for Exoskeletons and Robot Arm (mechanical en PCB integration, BOM, 2D drawings) -Modeling, Design and Fabrication of an Articulated Robot Arm for the MBZIRC 2017 Competition (sensors integration, BOM, 2D drawings) -M

During this internship, the following technical tasks are done: • Supported the operation of the complete aircraft making regular inspections (pre / post flight), maintenance. • Contributed in updating of fleet utilization data with downloading the monitoring tasks due. • Contributed in the preparation of the repairing procedures according to the schedules and the maintenance planning. • Contributed in the generation of the documentations and reports;

My research focuses on the mechatronics design of a lower limb robotic scalable exoskeleton. The device is called SOL, having 6 degrees of freedom.

Graduated with honor degree in mechanical engineering.
