Mobility systems · Urban simulation · Mechanical engineering

Engineering better ways for people and cities to move.

Mechanical engineer and TU Delft MSc candidate working on mobility systems, simulation and controls. Seeking roles in public transport, urban mobility and transport technology.

Jack Hansen

I model how vehicles, infrastructure, operations and policy interact, then turn the results into testable engineering decisions.

Current interests include public transport, network simulation and multimodal urban systems.

Selected projects

Urban simulation, control systems and hands-on product development.

Background

Mechanical engineering experience across product development, manufacturing, materials and control systems.

I build models, prototypes and decision tools for complex systems - especially the systems that move people and shape cities.

I am completing an MSc in Multi-Machine Engineering at TU Delft in 2027, after earning a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from Northeastern University in 2025 with Dean's List honours.

Three engineering co-ops developed my practice in product modelling, design for manufacture, automation, GD&T, materials testing and cross-functional delivery.
