I am a Mechanical Engineer with a passion for creative design. I have 10 years of experience as a designer/engineer and currently work full time running my business Corvus Engineering managing a team of engineers and designers. I actively participate in every project we take on as my true passion is in design. I have a background in art and sculpture and try to apply artistic principles into my designs. As a Designer I excel in most aspects of design and am highly proficient in 3d modeling and CAD design. I particularly enjoy 3d design that involves: Advanced Surfacing, Fiberglass and Injection Molded Plastic Design, Sheetmetal and Weldment Design. As an engineer I have expertise in: Strength Analysis for both Machined Parts and Weldments, Finite Element Analysis, Bearing and Shaft Analysis, and Electro-Mechanical Interfacing. Engineering Tools that I am experienced in include: SolidWorks, Onshape, Seimens NX, Fusion 360, PowerSurfacing, ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation, Matlab/Scilab, and Mathcad I make it high priority to have regular communication with my clients. I try to be realistic with my timelines and in bidding projects. When I commit to a project I make sure it is completed on time. I will not finish an assignment until the client is 100% satisfied. I take great pride in my work and hold myself to the highest standard of quality.

Thank you for taking a moment to read my profile. I'm an electromechanical engineer and entrepreneur who runs a small firm of engineering geniuses called Lystrup Maher. We look forward to meeting with you to support your on your venture. - Caleb Lystrup, PhD Now let me tell you about my firm, Lystrup Maher (Sounds like "light strip mayor) Elite Aerospace, Rocketry & Systems Engineering | Drones & Robotics Lighter. Faster. Stronger. USA-Made. Whether you are scaling a specialized UAV for defense, designing orbital-class hardware, or bringing a complex consumer product to market, our firm provides the elite-level Mechanical, Electrical, Aeronautical, and Software Engineering required to move from concept to mission-ready hardware. We also offer part 107 licensed drone piloting. With over 80 years of combined aerospace and space-launch experience, our team has delivered mission-critical solutions for NASA, Blue Origin, US Special Forces, LEO Flight, the DOE, US Navy, and the USAF. Laster year we deployed more than 40 aircraft and projectile systems. We don't just design; we optimize for the most demanding environments on the planet. Elite Engineering at Compelling Rates We believe in building long-term partnerships, not high margins. We offer extremely competitive rates because we believe in never gouging our clients. You get top-tier aerospace talent without the traditional "prime contractor" overhead. Seriously, our rates are great. Core Engineering Disciplines We provide a "full-stack" engineering experience, allowing you to consolidate your development under one roof: 1. Aeronautical & Astronautical: Aerodynamics, rocket propulsion integration, VTOL/STOL flight physics, and advanced carbon fiber composite optimization. 2. Mechanical: High-tolerance structural design, thermal management for extreme environments, and Design for Injection Molding to bridge the gap between prototyping and mass production. 3. Electrical: Custom PCB Design, electrical harness optimization, and high-density battery/power system integration for maximum weight reduction. 4. Software: Custom flight controllers, autonomous navigation, rocket telemetry systems, and embedded systems architecture. Specialized Operational Services Beyond pure engineering, we provide the specific operational support needed to get off the ground: 1. Licensed Drone Piloting: Professional flight testing, data collection, sensor calibration, and field deployment. 2. DFM (Design for Manufacturing): Transitioning complex assemblies into repeatable, cost-effective manufactured goods. 3. Drone & Space Strategy: Consulting on fleet scaling, trajectory mechanics, regulatory navigation, and hardware road-mapping. Proven Track Record We have successfully supported a diverse range of high-stakes projects, including: 1. Rocketry & Space Systems: Structural engineering and design for suborbital platforms and launch vehicle components. 2. Defense & Tactical: Specialized applications for US Special Forces, military drone applications, and ruggedized inspection units. 3. Advanced Air Mobility: 2-passenger VTOL air taxis and 1-passenger STOL planes. 4. Long-Range Systems: Fixed-wing UAVs with 500 km+ range capabilities. 5. Industrial & Logistics: Heavy-lift cargo drones and custom electrical harness optimization. 6. Custom Sub-systems: Tailored battery design for weight reduction and proprietary flight controllers. The Lystrup Maher Advantage We provide a comprehensive strategy—from full frame re-design and weight optimization to PCB layout and trusted manufacturing. We understand that in aerospace and rocketry, every detail matters and reliability is non-negotiable. Let’s discuss how we can make your next project lighter, faster, and stronger.
