About Me

Electrical engineering student with a passion for RF systems, defense technology, and solving real-world engineering challenges

Caleb Molnar

Hello, I'm Caleb Molnar

I'm an Electrical Engineering student at the University of Detroit Mercy, pursuing an accelerated BS/MS program and consistently earning a place on the Dean's List. I'm currently a Junior expected to graduate in April 2027. My academic journey has been driven by a deep fascination with how electrical systems work and how they can be applied to solve complex, real-world problems.

My experience spans a diverse range of electrical engineering disciplines, including RF systems, high-powered microwave testing, circuit design, digital logic, and embedded systems. I've been fortunate to work on cutting-edge projects in both defense and cybersecurity sectors, where I've contributed to antenna design, HPM research, vulnerability assessments, and secure communication systems.

What drives me most is the opportunity to build real hardware and develop practical systems that make a tangible impact. Whether it's designing an autonomous robot, programming an FPGA for precise servo control, or developing passive filter sensors for electromagnetic detection, I find deep satisfaction in bringing theoretical concepts to life through hands-on engineering work.

Looking Ahead

I'm actively seeking Summer 2026 internship opportunities in the automotive and defense sectors, where I can apply my skills in RF systems, embedded systems, and circuit design to tackle real-world engineering challenges. I'm particularly interested in roles that involve hands-on hardware development, signal analysis, and system integration.

My goal is to contribute to teams working on innovative technologies that push the boundaries of what's possible—whether that's advancing autonomous vehicle systems, developing next-generation communication technologies, or creating robust defense systems that protect national security. I value collaborative environments where I can learn from experienced engineers while contributing my own skills and fresh perspectives.

Beyond technical contributions, I bring strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and a commitment to delivering high-quality work. My experience across multiple DoD programs has given me an understanding of working within security-sensitive environments and adhering to rigorous engineering standards.

Hands-On Problem Solving

I believe the best way to learn engineering is by building real systems. From autonomous robots to FPGA-based servo controllers, I thrive on turning theoretical knowledge into working prototypes.

Clear Communication

Engineering isn't just about technical skills—it's about communicating complex ideas clearly. My teaching experience has honed my ability to explain technical concepts to diverse audiences.

Continuous Learning

Technology evolves rapidly, and I'm committed to staying at the forefront. Whether it's a new FPGA architecture or emerging RF technologies, I embrace the challenge of learning new systems.

Life Beyond the Lab

I believe in staying balanced and active. Whether I'm outdoors, competing in sports, or leading campus clubs, I find that diverse experiences fuel creativity in my engineering work.

Outdoor Adventures

I love hiking, traveling, and exploring nature. There's something refreshing about disconnecting from screens and connecting with the outdoors.
