Jorge DaSilva
Class of
2007 Valedictorian
Jorge DaSilva sank his teeth into every assignment and got the most of out his years at Stevens. Class of 2007 Valedictorian, Jorge earned his B.E. in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Economics, an M.E.
in Systems Engineering, and a Graduate Certificate in Project Management. “I spent several coops and part-time assignments working for Ethicon Inc., one of Johnson & Johnson’s medical device operating companies. I was part of the Equipment Development group and worked alongside senior engineers developing, testing, and
implementing new manufacturing equipment and processes. I was also a member of Ethicon’s F.I.R.S.T
robotics team, which sponsors and mentors high school students to build robots and compete in regional
and national competitions. Our team finished second overall in the national competition featuring over
200 teams from around the U.S.”
His next stop: Jorge will be working for Johnson & Johnson as part of the Global Operations Leadership Development (GOLD) Program. The GOLD program is a two-year, three assignment, rotational leadership
development program. In the first eight-month assignment, he will work as a Mechanical Engineer for
Johnson & Johnson Personal Care Company in the Engineering and Technology Innovation group. He
will assist the group in new product development efforts ranging from 3-D modeling and simulation to prototyping, testing, and commercialization. “Some projects currently discussed include leading a product
improvement project to obtain green belt certification,” he says, “as well as work on the next generation
of the MicroDermabrasion System and support for other new product initiatives that may arise in the future.”
