Antonio Robali

Project Engineer

Antonio joined NCDMM in 2025 as a Project Engineer. He manages projects to ensure organizational alignment across project planning, design, coordination, and execution. 

Antonio is an experienced project leader with acute knowledge in mechanical engineering. Before joining NCDMM, he was a Research Engineer in the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Texas El Paso where he managed project logistics, coordinated team efforts, and mentored colleagues in Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and mechanical design. He also designed a control module that ensured flight stability using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. 

Additionally, Antonio secured a NASA small business innovation research (SBIR) grant for an electrospray thruster. His collaborations with leading organizations like the Air Force Research Laboratory, MIT Lincoln Labs, and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) have advanced CubeSat deployment systems and particle detection technologies, underscoring his significant impact in the field. 

Antonio earned his bachelor’s and master’s in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Texas El Paso.
