Jonah Samuel Myerberg (born June 6, 1976) is CTO and co-founder of Desktop Metal Inc., an entrepreneur and an engineer. Before co-founding Desktop Metal, Jonah Myerberg was an engineering director and mechanical engineer for product development at Renovo Auto, A123 Systems Inc, Bose Corp, Black and Decker, and EDS Unigraphics. Jonah Myerberg is married to Audra T. Myerberg and father to Abigail G. Myerberg and Samuel P. Myerberg.

Jonah Myerberg was born in Manhattan, New York City, raised in Morgantown, WV., and attended high school at The Linsly School in Wheeling WV. He earned a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from Lehigh University and an MS degree in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD.

During his time at Lehigh University he spent 2 years working with EDS Unigraphics in their CAD division, but upon graduation took a job with Black and Decker in Baltimore MD, where he completed his Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering. In 2001, Myerberg moved to Boston MA to design home entertainment products for Bose Corp, and has stayed in the Boston area ever since. In 2005 Myerberg reconnected with Black and Decker as they investigated a new battery technology being developed at MIT, which led to his employment at A123 Systems Inc, a battery technology start-up from within MIT's materials science labs. He worked for A123 Systems for 8 years, developing the worlds most power-dense lithium-ion battery cells which still run in F1 and LMP1 race cars today, until moving on to personally assist his race team customers on the track, as well as help other colleagues launch a new start-up from MIT's Mass Transfer Laboratories. Myerberg continued to work directly with Formula 1 and LMP1 teams to integrate his cell technology into their KERS and ERS power trains, while also acting as Director of Deployment for Gradiant Corp's breakthrough desalinization factories in Midland, TX. He then took a more permanent role as Director of Energy Storage with Renovo Auto in Campbell CA, before co-founding Desktop Metal with Ric Fulop in 2015. Myerberg also works with Robert Langer and Jeff Karp thru connections with the Langer and Karp labs at MIT. During his career, Myerberg developed many innovations in power tools and home entertainment products, but is best known for revolutionizing the li-ion battery industry with his Motorsports cell technology that is still used in F1 and WEC today.
