Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatt Yung is an integrated engineering student and hands-on mechatronics leader who blends mechanical and electrical design to deliver real-world hardware. Currently an Electrical Instrumentation and Controls Engineering Intern at WSP and Mechatronics Team Lead for UBC Rover, he has led the design and manufacture of a 6-DOF robotic arm and developed UAV reconnaissance systems while coordinating multidisciplinary teams. With experience in power distribution design, CAD/FEA, shop manufacturing, and control systems, he pairs practical fabrication skills with control and instrumentation know-how. An active contributor to open-source UI work—adding features like pinch-to-zoom and device modals to the Rust-based Spacedrive front end—he brings both product-focused UX sensibility and low-level engineering rigor. Based in Vancouver, he’s eager to apply his cross-domain expertise to robotics, energy systems, and infrastructure projects where hardware meets controls.
