Julian Halpern-Smith

I am a passionate and driven mechanical engineering student at Northeastern University, minoring in mathematics and aerospace. With hands-on experience in CAD design, prototyping, and system analysis, I thrive in dynamic environments that challenge me to apply innovative engineering solutions.

My background includes working on NASA-aligned projects such as CubeSat development and the NASA Student Launch Initiative, where I gained expertise in mechanical design, testing, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I also have experience in battery sustainability research, further refining my problem-solving and analytical skills.

Proficient in SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Onshape, and programming languages like C++, Python, and Java, I am eager to contribute to projects that push the boundaries of technology and design. Whether it’s designing mechanical systems, optimizing electromechanical components, or coordinating cross-disciplinary efforts, I am always ready to tackle engineering challenges with curiosity and dedication.

I am actively seeking internship and co-op opportunities where I can apply my skills in mechanical design, system development, and engineering consulting while continuing to learn and grow.
