Nima Rafibakhsh is a computational geometry software engineering manager based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience bridging academic research and production engineering. He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Oregon State University and has progressed at Fictiv from engineer to senior engineer and now manager, specializing in geometry, AI/ML, and optimization for manufacturing applications. Known for pragmatic decision-making and strong communication, he translates complex geometric algorithms into robust, scalable systems that meet business needs. His background in design engineering research and hands-on R&D in antenna manufacturing gives him a rare blend of theoretical rigor and practical product focus. Colleagues value his interdisciplinary approach, which pairs deep technical competence with an eye for operational efficiency. He brings a quietly experimental mindset—often prototyping advanced AI-driven geometry solutions before scaling them into production.
