Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Jacobowitz is a Sr. Staff Engineer in Berkeley with 11+ years of interdisciplinary experience bridging hardware, software, and energy policy. He combines hands-on circuit and IoT design (running a hobbyist electronics shop) with scientific computing, statistical modeling, and market analysis to deliver practical solutions for the power sector and smart-grid applications. Throughout roles at Form Energy, Cambridge Mobile Telematics, Berkeley Lab and Google he has moved fluidly between building devices, shipping firmware/software, and shaping policy and product strategy. Known for learning by doing, he pairs deep technical breadth—electronics, a dozen programming languages, and complex statistical models—with business and leadership skills like product marketing and mentorship. Unusually, his career arc blends microprocessor and circuit design roots with later expertise in renewable energy valuation and demand-response program design, making him effective at both prototyping and translating technical value to stakeholders.
