Hi! I'm Tom Zimet, a Hardware Engineer at
General Motors in the Global Product
Development TRACK rotational program.

I want to innovate solutions to the most pressing problems our society faces today. Whether it be through medical devices that improve treatment and patient care, more efficient vehicles and machines that reduce energy consumption, or novel products that reshape the way we live, I want to be able to improve people’s lives and well-being. With my mechanical design skills strengthened through curriculum, extracurriculars, research, and internships, I believe that I can help your company make the world a better place.

When I'm not putting my head down trying to solve a difficult design problem, you can find me cheering on my favorite sports teams (go M's, Hawks, and Dawgs!), working out in the gym, adventuring to find a cool photo op, or continuing the seemingly never-ending journey to become a decent golfer.
