Bridging Engineering and IT in the Field: Meet Kyle Ledermann

Kyle J. Ledermannn: Mechatronics Engineer, JDI Contracts | Level 3 Engineer, JDInet

Kyle Ledermann operates at the intersection of engineering, IT, and field execution—where most projects either come together or break down. In his dual role at JDI Contracts and JDI Net, he focuses on making complex systems work reliably in real-world conditions, not just in design.

As a Mechatronics Engineer at JDI Contracts, Kyle works across electrical, mechanical, and control systems to support projects that require tight integration and clean execution. His focus is reducing install friction, improving system reliability, and ensuring projects scale without creating downstream issues for clients.

At JDI Net, Kyle serves as a Level 3 Engineer, handling higher-complexity technical work across network infrastructure, system deployments, and managed IT environments. He supports everything from server and workstation deployments to customer onboarding and service calls, bringing a hands-on, problem-solving approach to resolving issues quickly and thoroughly.

Kyle’s background in mechatronics gives him a cross-disciplinary advantage. He has hands-on experience in engineering design, manufacturing optimization, and IT systems, allowing him to bridge gaps between teams and eliminate inefficiencies that slow projects down. At MNSTAR Group, he helped more than double engineering output and increase quoting capacity from 4–10 to 20–30 per month by fixing workflow bottlenecks and improving coordination across engineering, sales, and production.

He also co-founded a manufacturing startup, where he led engineering strategy, product development, and core process design—building systems from the ground up and turning early-stage concepts into repeatable operations.

For clients, Kyle’s value is practical and measurable. He reduces risk on complex projects by ensuring systems are designed and implemented with full awareness of how they will perform in the field. His ability to work across engineering and IT means fewer handoff issues, faster deployments, and more stable systems over time. For companies, he brings structure to growing operations—building processes that scale, aligning teams around execution, and turning fragmented workflows into repeatable, efficient systems.

Kyle holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechatronics Engineering from Michigan Technological University, graduating with high honors. He also led a 30–50 member engineering team as CEO of the Supermileage Vehicle Team, managing design, fabrication, and competition execution.

Kyle represents the kind of operator JDI builds around—someone who doesn’t just understand systems, but makes them perform where it counts. His ability to connect engineering, IT, and execution ensures that projects move faster, run more reliably, and scale without unnecessary complexity.

Whether supporting internal operations or client-facing work, Kyle brings a focus on reducing friction, solving problems at their root, and delivering systems that hold up over time. For clients, that means fewer surprises, smoother deployments, and solutions that are built to last.
