At McCarthy Engineering Associates, we’re proud to introduce the newest addition to our growing team: Mehdi Mehrabi, Ph.D, P.E. our new Senior Mechanical Engineer who brings not only deep technical knowledge but a passion for mentorship, innovation, and community.
With more than two decades of experience in mechanical and HVAC design, Mehrabi has made an impact on everything from biotech labs to educational facilities, hospitals, and high-tech data centers. He is a Licensed Professional HVAC Engineer (PE) in 20 U.S. states, further underscoring the depth of his expertise and commitment to engineering excellence. His resume reads like a blueprint for success—backed by a Ph.D. in Architectural Engineering with a mechanical emphasis from the University of Nebraska, and two additional degrees in Energy Systems and Mechanical Engineering.
Since joining us in May 2025, Mehrabi has jumped right in, offering peer review, technical guidance, and smart, efficient HVAC designs that meet real-world demands. He’s not only a designer—he’s a collaborator. Whether coordinating across disciplines or mentoring junior engineers, Mehrabi is someone who makes the people and projects around him better.
A few of his career highlights?
Best Paper in ASHRAE’s 2019 Research Journal
Teammate Player Award, February 2025. From his previous firm.
When he’s not designing better building systems, Mehrabi enjoys music and spending time with his family—his wife Zahra and their two sons, Alborz (9) and Rustin (6). Raised in Iran, Mehrabi brings a global perspective to every project and a grounded, thoughtful approach that’s quickly become a valued asset on the McCarthy Engineering team.
Please join us in welcoming Mehdi Mehrabi—an engineer with experience, expertise, and heart. We’re excited for the future we’ll build together!
