Senior🎓
Top SchoolJared Jonas is a PhD student in mechanical engineering at UCSB with 11 years of hands-on experience bridging mechanical design, control systems, and software. He combines practical SolidWorks-driven product development and manufacturing experience from industry with advanced coursework and TA roles in linear dynamical systems, mechatronics, and robotics. His research includes mathematical modeling of thin-sheet deformation, and he has built optimal controllers and robotic manipulators in academic projects. Jared also brings a strong tutoring and teaching background, having mentored over 100 students from algebra through differential equations, which sharpened his communication and mentorship skills. Equally comfortable writing code and turning concepts into physical prototypes, he seeks opportunities that blend software, mechanics, and creative problem solving. Based in Santa Barbara, he’s open to connections that fuse research-grade engineering with real-world product development.
