Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Borra is a software and aerospace engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience designing autopilot control laws and delivering model-based flight software for programs including the 777-X, 787 family, and Boeing/NASA X-66 demonstrator. He blends DO-178/ARP4754 rigor with practical toolchain leadership—establishing Git/GitLab workflows, automated regression testing, and cluster-accelerated analyses that tripled linear-analysis speed for flight-controls teams. Comfortable leading cross-disciplinary teams and rolling up his sleeves, he has owned requirement traceability, hardware-in-the-loop verification, and real-time flight-test analytics across complete aircraft life cycles. An inventive tinkerer off-duty, he holds a U.S. patent for a novel vinyl record mounting system and restores vintage machine tools while renovating a 1918 craftsman home. Based in Seattle, he now focuses on model-based development for sustainable flight systems, bringing both deep GN&C expertise and a pragmatic engineering mindset to complex, safety-critical software.
