Tyrus Kamenitzer

I was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, where I discovered my passion for mechanical engineering in my 7th grade Tech class. During our semester-long project on CO2 dragsters, I researched basic aerodynamics, drew out dimensioned designs, bandsawed a balsa wood block to make the body, and spent hours sanding it to perfection. Throughout the semester, I fell in love with what I later learned was the engineering process, and I continue to fuel that passion by pushing the boundaries of what's possible in every project I take on.

This past spring, I completed a co-op at WHOOP Inc., where I worked with real prototypes and qualified device-level capabilities to inform design changes. In Spring 2025, I co-oped at Revvity Inc., leading interdisciplinary design initiatives and building skills in rapid prototyping, high- and low-volume manufacturing, and proper tolerancing. On campus, I'm a Mechanical Engineering Technical Lead in Generate, a student-run product development club, where I lead client-facing projects and get hands-on with systems integration and process management.

Outside of engineering, you'll find me running, lifting, or playing Spikeball, and lately I've picked up cooking and reading as ways to slow down.
