Jonah Zimmerman has been working in the field of combustion engineering since 2015. Jonah began their career as a Propulsion Engineer III in Combustion Devices at BLUE ORIGIN. In 2010, they became an Engineering Intern at the NASA Ames Research Center, where they worked on the Peregrine hybrid sounding rocket motor development program and analyzed wind tunnel models using FEA tools. In 2013, they interned at the NASA Stennis Space Center, where they worked primarily on failure analysis of pressure vessels and supported engine testing at E complex. Jonah also worked on an eductor system for altitude testing of rocket engines. From 2006 to 2009, Zimmerman was a Research Assistant and a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Stanford University. Theirresearch focused on the dynamics of self-pressurizing rocket propellant tanks. Jonah is currently working as a Combustion Engineer at Modern Electron.

Jonah Zimmerman attended Boston University from 2005 to 2009, graduating with a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering. Jonah then attended Stanford University from 2009 to 2010, earning a Master of Science (MS) in Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering. Finally, they attended Stanford University again from 2010 to 2015, earning a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering.
