HELLO, I'm

Jonathon 

Montini

I have a Master's,
in mechanical engineering.

I attended the University of Delaware, studying Mechanical Engineering where I graduated in 2017 with my Bachelor's degree. 

​

In 2020, I rekindled my studies by taking a Graduate Certificate program in Composites Engineering to heighten my knowledge of the various composite manufacturing processes and gain a strong foundation in advanced fiber composites.

​

After completing the composites certification, I decided to further my education by pursuing my Master's in Mechanical Engineering.

I am a Designer,

a design engineer.

I am a design engineer at Hardwire LLC, specializing in the development of cutting-edge lightweight composite armor solutions. My role encompasses the product development lifecycle, including 3D CAD design, product testing, fabrication, and manufacturing, from initial concept to final production. Along with identifying and developing support tooling and machines for manufacturing.

I like to do a lot,

a lot.

Outside of work, I am an avid kitesurfer, snowboarder, skateboarder, and soccer player. I also enjoy designing and building custom surfboards, snowboards, and skateboards. Beyond sports, I have a passion for woodworking, video recording and editing, and experimenting with composite materials in my garage workshop.

MY EXPERIENCE

School Projects

During college, I worked on various projects that enhanced my engineering expertise and honed my teamwork skills, including developing a 3D concrete printer and designing a beach wheelchair.

Work Projects

I have gained immense experience working at Hardwire LLC in the R&D section of ballistics and defense.   This position has served to sharpen my skills in the machine shop, enhance my modeling abilities with 3D CAD, and excel my knowledge of composites.

Personal Projects

One of my passions is to work on hands on projects in my free time. For example, one of the more technical projects I have completed is the design and construction of a snowboard.  Some hobbies that I have found interest in are videography, woodworking and experimenting with composites.
