Engineer at Micronova
Michigan, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonah Shader is an engineer with nine years of hands-on experience blending software, electrical, and mechatronics work, currently at Micronova and pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at Oakland University. He focuses on reinforcement learning research—designing training algorithms and custom RL tasks—while also enjoying low-level embedded development demonstrated in prior mechatronics roles. Jonah has practical firmware experience with SPI/CAN communication, state machines, and hardware debugging tools, and he’s comfortable moving between prototype hardware and production testing. Beyond coding, he brings creativity from generative art, music production, audio engineering, and some 3D/CAD modeling, which informs an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving. Based in Michigan, he pairs academic rigor (3.93 BSc GPA) with pragmatic engineering in both research and product contexts. Colleagues describe him simply as a programming enjoyer who naturally bridges theory and hands-on implementation.
