About Aurora Engineering

About Aurora Engineering

Aurora Engineering was founded by Armando, Ricky, and Jeff in the fall of 2023 after we recognized a gap in the industry that needed to be filled. With over 10 years of combined experience, and each having worked in the industry since 2018, we realized our diverse expertise could address this demand. Armando, with a background in mechanical engineering, leads our restoration efforts, focusing on custom classic cars and also specializes in creating intricate holiday displays. Ricky, originally from Chicago, holds a degree in aerospace engineering from Purdue University and specializes in the precision mechanical systems that underpin our projects. Jeff, who grew up in Boston, studied industrial design and leverages his experience in design and marketing to ensure the visual and functional excellence of our special effects work. Together, we bring a well-rounded approach to every project, combining creativity and technical skill to deliver exceptional results.
