Senior🎓
Top SchoolBjorn Cole is a Senior Integrated Plant Modeling Engineer with a PhD in Aerospace Engineering and nine years of hands-on experience applying Model-Based Systems Engineering to space and energy systems. He has led MBSE and systems architecture efforts across JPL, GTRI, and Lockheed Martin, including pre-Phase A support for Europa Clipper and human landing system work, and now focuses on integrated plant modeling in lunar and energy domains. Bjorn blends early- and late-phase systems thinking, teaching experience at Georgia Tech, and a deep appreciation for how small technical communities persist and evolve under skepticism. He is practiced at translating complex multidisciplinary trade space analyses into practical architectures and visualized MBSE databases that accelerate team decision-making. His background in technology forecasting and evolutionary algorithms underpins a rare mix of research rigor and operational systems delivery. Based in Atlanta, he brings a worldview shaped by both space exploration ambitions and real-world constraints of acquisition and sustainability.
