Jared Humphreys

Jared Humphreys has worked in a variety of engineering roles since 2010. In 2010, they interned with the Diagnostics and Computing department of General Atomics DIII-D division, where they were responsible for basic mechanical and electrical engineering, including fabrication and testing of magnetic field sensing coils for a research fusion reactor and design and fabrication of a radiation shielding box for a sensitive sensor package. In 2011, they were the Technical Coordinator of a Senior Project Team at Stolle Machinery Company LLC, where they were responsible for completing 3D models of a component that automated pressure adjustment on printing plates used within their can printing machines. In 2012, they interned with the R&D Department of MKS Instruments, where they worked on LabVIEW code to read, record, and reload settings to and from vacuum sensor controllers, and designed and constructed a box for testing of a specific circuit board. In 2014, they worked as the sole member of the Process Improvements department at Steico Industries, where they worked with managers and production personnel to develop new processes to improve the quality, speed, and efficiency with which parts are manufactured. In 2017, they worked as a Mechanical/Manufacturing Engineer at AMP Robotics, where they drove multiple hardware projects from concept through production for AMP's main product, an AI-based recyclable material sorting robot. In 2020, they worked as a Mechanical Engineer at Contour Crafting Corporation, where they designed and implemented various hardware and electrical systems for large-format concrete 3D printers for military applications, for fabrication of emergency housing, and other concrete structures. In 2021, they worked as a Research Development Mechanical Engineer at 3DEO Inc., where they tested next-generation metal 3D printing machines to determine optimal settings and certify machines for production, and ideated and drove a project to automate QC of metal 3D printed parts using a structured light 3D scanner.

Jared Humphreys attended the Oregon Institute of Technology from 2008 to 2010, studying Mechanical Engineering. Jared then transferred to the University of Colorado Boulder, where they obtained a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering in 2012.
