The transporter chief who takes over from Kyle aboard Pike's Enterprise in the second season of Strange New Worlds, a familiar face among the ship's supporting crew.
Chief Jay is a recurring member of the Enterprise crew in Strange New Worlds, played by Noah Lamanna. The character joins the series at the start of the second season with The Broken Circle, succeeding Chief Kyle at the transporter controls.
Jay is usually seen in the transporter room handling the comings and goings of landing parties, often in difficult conditions, and working with the engineering staff under Pelia when the system is pushed beyond its normal limits.
The role is a small one, but Jay is one of the regular faces below decks on the Enterprise, alongside figures such as Jenna Mitchell on the bridge, and helps give Pike's ship a stable supporting crew from episode to episode.
