While completing his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology and minor in Industrial Robotics from Purdue University, Jake was encouraged to by a professor to pursue his career in controls. Rather than waiting until after graduation to start his career, Jake took on his first controls-related job during his sophomore year at Purdue. He began working with electrical distribution, then continued as an electrical engineer and finally a controls engineer all before graduating. While with Malisko, Jake enjoys putting together a system from concept to visualization, and especially likes screen design.
