About me

Ahmed Bakhit

Systems Engineer

Hi, I’m Ahmed. I grew up in Sudan with a fascination for understanding how things work. My journey in engineering began with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the top-ranked University of Khartoum, where I delved into various engineering disciplines. My interest particularly gravitated towards robotics and mechatronics, which led me to further pursue my passion in the United States.

After moving to the U.S., I enrolled in a Master’s program in Mechanical Engineering at Washington State University. Here, I expanded my knowledge in advanced mechanical engineering topics and engaged in valuable research experiences. My career took a significant turn when I joined PACCAR as a Functional Safety Engineer, quickly advancing to a role where I was responsible for ensuring the safety of the company’s products, including developing safety features for autonomous and Battery Electric trucks.

My exposure to Safety in Autonmous Vehicles at PACCAR ignited a newfound love for data science. Recognizing the synergy between my existing skills and the demands of data science, I pursued a Master’s degree in Data Science at the University of Texas at Austin. This decision was driven by my desire to deepen my knowledge and apply it to new challenges.

Currently, I am a Systems Engineer at Boeing, where I apply my diverse engineering background and safety expertise to enhance the safety features of airplanes. This role allows me to contribute to the pioneering efforts in aerospace safety, ensuring that every flight is as safe as possible.

With my extensive background in mechanical engineering, research, and a keen interest in data science, I am excited to tackle new and challenging problems in the field. My journey reflects a continuous quest for knowledge and a commitment to making meaningful contributions to technology and safety.
