About Me

Howdy! My name is Kalen Jaroszewski, and I am a mechanical engineering student passionate about developing space and robotic mobility systems that apply theoretical research to real-world use cases. My technical background spans the design of magnetic cycloidal gearboxes, quadruped robots, ISS mission payload protection, and a sounding rocket, where I focus on actuators, electromechanical systems, and root-cause analysis.

During my internship at the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station and research continuation at the Human-Empowering Robotics and Control (HERC) Lab, I designed and tested custom magnetic cycloidal gearboxes, leading trade studies and engineering solutions that prioritized high torque density, low stiction, and minimal hysteresis. As Vice President of Development at the Texas A&M Robotics Team and Leadership (TURTLE) student organization, I directed mechanical teams in the completion of a full-scale and miniature quadruped platform, driving improvements in mechanical design, serviceability, and actuators. I also oversee a multi-university, interorganizational program with over 200 members per semester, focused on building foundational engineering and management skills.

Beyond TURTLE, I’ve been responsible for all part SRAD manufacturing and contributed to avionics sensor integration for a first-year IREC hybrid rocket team. Currently, I am performing trade studies on the thermal management of a liquid crystal antenna for an ISS mission experiment. During High School, I honed expertise in mechanical design, systems engineering, and dynamic team management by leading a FIRST Tech Challenge team to 2nd in the world and gaining international team recognition. Across all these roles, I am motivated by a commitment to iterative design, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and pushing the limits of robotic and aerospace innovation.

Please look around in projects.

Note: This site is still under development, and I will be making frequent changes to fill in some of my past projects.
