Jason Nguyen is a propulsion-focused mechanical engineer with nine years of practical experience across aerospace, defense, and academic research in San Diego. He has contributed to propulsion and structural analysis teams at SEDS UCSD while supporting NAVAIR and GKN Aerospace on compressor, fan, and engine duct issues, blending hands-on repair planning with GD&T-driven manufacturing documentation. His internship work at SAIC and NMV lab projects show a knack for turning 2D designs into validated 3D systems, from mil-spec cable harnesses to unmanned maritime vehicle dynamics and Python-based thrust inversion. As an undergraduate researcher he developed glassy carbon nanofiltration devices, demonstrating an unusual crossover of macro-scale propulsion skills with microfabrication and fluid filtration testing. A student leader who managed budgets and finance for engineering organizations, he pairs technical depth with organizational and communication strengths. Currently pursuing an MS at UC San Diego, he brings both practical shop-floor problem solving and systems-level analysis to propulsion engineering challenges.
