About

Engineer. Founder. Physical AI builder.

Pakistani engineer based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. About ten years of hands-on engineering, from mechanical design and 3D printing to autonomous vehicles and service robots.

Osama Shafique

I started engineering work at 20, while still studying Mechanical Engineering at UET Taxila. After graduating in 2019 I founded DesignMan Engineering in Islamabad, a robotics and 3D-printing company I ran as CEO for five years.

In 2024 I moved to Saudi Arabia to work on autonomous vehicles in daily operation at Red Sea Global in Tabuk. Since October 2025 I have been Physical AI Manager at BranchBots in Riyadh, owning four scopes: AI, robotics, IoT and autonomous vehicles.

My focus is the unglamorous part of AI: making robots, voice agents and sensors behave reliably around real people, and writing the operating standards so the next site runs without me.
