Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex St Clair is a satellite avionics engineer with nine years of hands-on experience designing, building, and leading flight-critical avionics and command-and-data-handling systems for lunar and in-space vehicles. Currently at Blue Origin/TeraWave, he has progressed from avionics software rotations to platform architecture and LRU-level responsibility, and briefly led C&DH engineering and a team at York Space Systems. His background blends embedded flight software, hardware design, systems engineering, and lab-proven autonomy—highlighted by a reliable Antarctic balloon flight termination device and first-ever in-situ atmospheric profiling under a gondola. Alex thrives on ambiguous problems and learning by doing, preferring roles where discovering solutions outweighs rote answers. He holds an MS in Astrodynamics and Satellite Navigation and a BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from CU Boulder. Outside work he pursues exploration literally—recently becoming an Advanced Open Water SCUBA diver—reflecting the same curiosity that drives his spaceflight engineering.
