Summary
Benjamin Bogard is a Principal Electrical Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience designing RF, power, and production electronics for high-reliability systems—from satellite phased arrays at SpaceX to agricultural robotics and grid-scale energy projects. He combines deep RF expertise with practical product and manufacturing design, leading cross-functional teams to deliver IPC Class 3 hardware and custom production solutions. Benjamin has a track record of building resilient systems for harsh environments, including high-altitude balloon platforms for lightning research and long-lived satellite electronics. Currently focused on next-generation energy infrastructure and autonomous farm robotics, he blends systems thinking with component-level troubleshooting and cost-aware design. Based in Portland, he pairs academic rigor from Georgia Tech with entrepreneurial problem-solving and a knack for turning complex physical constraints into manufacturable, field-ready products. An engineer who enjoys the “cosmic magic” of RF, he’s equally at home optimizing battery systems, production lines, or phased-array antennas.
