Summary
Jonathan Katz is an Applications Engineer II based in Denver with 11 years of hands-on experience blending mechanical design, fabrication, and applied systems work. A fourth-year mechanical engineering student who returned from a year-long full-time co-op, he has practical expertise across 3D printing, laser systems, PCB wiring, and prototype assembly—skills honed at university innovation spaces and in industry roles from Nova Biomedical to In-Position Technologies. He’s comfortable moving between CAD-driven design, shop-floor machining, and customer-facing application support, often creating technical documentation and maintenance resources to scale solutions. Outside work he brings a maker’s curiosity to projects like Arduino builds and ceramics, and stages that discipline in collaborative settings as a local band guitarist. Notably, his background spans unexpected domains for a mechanical engineer—network engineering and optics research—giving him a systems-minded approach to complex product problems.
