Hi, I’m

Victoria Rojas

Mechanical engineer at USC

About

I’m a mechanical engineering student at USC Viterbi, graduating in 2028. I build test hardware: rigs that hold position to microns, read forces in millinewtons, and give data you can trust.

I like owning a system end to end, from the force analysis through machining and assembly to the code that runs it, and then the debugging when the data looks wrong. Right now that’s a wafer-spalling system at Packard Research Group, nickel-plating process work in the USC nanofabrication cleanroom, and drivetrain design for the recumbent vehicle team.
