Yehoshua Levine is a graduate mechanical engineer and product designer. He excels at projects that combine creative innovation with detail-oriented technical skills. Since1996, Yehoshua built a reputation for delivering the highest quality work with self initiative and the confidence to face any challenge. His can-do attitude is readily apparent. Indeed, Yehoshua brings a wealth of knowledge, an extra measure of insight, and a cheerful enthusiasm to every project.
Yehoshua began his career as an intern analyst for planning NASA's missions to Mars. Since then, he worked on projects for private companies, the US Air Force, and the DOD Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (now called the Ballistic Missile Agency). He also took an important role at a start-up when their first product was launching.
Yehoshua graduated Magna Cum Laude in Mechanical Engineering from Tulane University (New Orleans). He received rabbinical ordination after studying at Tomchei Temimim Rabbinical Seminary (New York and Israel). He maintains continuing education activities in both areas.
