Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Van Rumpt is a development engineer and fifth-year Engineering Physics student at UBC with a decade of hands-on experience across aerospace, propulsion, and additive manufacturing. Currently at Rocket Lab, he transitioned from a propulsion intern who contributed to NASA’s ESCAPADE mission—handling system-level testing, AI&T, and cleanroom orbital welding—to a development engineer role. He has led and managed student rocket programs (UBC Rocket) from propulsion testing and PLC/HMI automation to project management for a Kármán-line launch effort, demonstrating both technical depth and cross-team coordination. His industry internships span metal 3D printing process development and sustainable product design, reflecting a knack for bringing novel manufacturing techniques into practical workflows. Based in Vancouver with roots in New Zealand, he pairs shop-floor skills (millwright and mill operator experience) with precision aerospace engineering, making him comfortable from field maintenance to mission-critical test campaigns. Notably, he blends academic physics rigor with production-focused process development—an asset for rapidly maturing flight hardware.
