Summary
Austin Beers is a spacecraft mission systems engineer and software-savvy aerospace specialist with eight years of cross-sector experience spanning defense, foodtech, and startups. With an academic foundation in physics and a Master's in aerospace engineering, he blends astrodynamics and theoretical propulsion research with practical AI/ML and full-stack software skills. Currently at ASRC Federal, he applies mission systems engineering alongside a history of building data and web products—from aerodynamics data pipelines to full-stack platforms. Austin’s background as both a programmer and an aeronautics researcher lets him translate complex physics-driven requirements into deployable software and mission solutions. He’s equally comfortable prototyping propulsion concepts on paper as shipping production code, making him a bridge between research and operational engineering.
