Malia Smith

Hi! I’m Malia, a mechanical engineer with experience spanning product development, robotics, biomechanics, and data-driven modeling.

I recently completed my B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering at MIT. Most recently, I co-founded Nami Cleans, where I led the mechanical and system development of an automated reusable drinkware cleaning system from concept through pilot-ready hardware.

My work spans mechanical design, system integration, prototyping, modeling, experimentation, and data analysis.
