Undergraduate student at MIT pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Computer Science.Experience in multiple domains, including mechanical design and validation (NX, Solidworks, CATIA), PCB design, fabrication and assembly (EAGLE, Altium), and embedded firmware + web design (React, Node.js, C++, Python). I love working on interesting technical problems in collaborative, fast-paced environments, one of which is MIT Motorsports (Formula SAE) where I have served in multiple leadership positions on the team (most recently Powertrain Lead for the 2024 season).Take a look at the short descriptions below or my full technical portfolio at https://ambecker.com to learn more about what I'm working on!
