Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrett Gottula is a Principal Communication Systems Engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience designing and optimizing DSP algorithms for mission-critical space communications across CPU, FPGA, and ASIC targets. He has driven modem, radar, and TTC systems from concept through flight on programs including Falcon 9, Dragon 1/2, Starlink, and a geostationary Astranis satellite, often owning requirements, architecture, verification, and vendor coordination. Notable highlights include developing a DSN-compatible deep space transponder prototype, leading a CCSDS Prox1 relay implementation, and delivering high-throughput FPGA modem blocks that flew on multiple missions. Brett combines rigorous bit-accurate simulation and fixed-point expertise with pragmatic prototype development (GNU Radio and Verilog) to shrink schedules and de-risk flight hardware. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he excels at translating tight mission constraints into deployable signal-processing solutions and tooling that accelerate testing and integration.
