Summary
Charles Hendrix is a Senior Electronics Engineer based in Austin with nine years of hands-on experience designing robust hardware and firmware for products ranging from IoT vending machines to satellite-grade electronics. At CesiumAstro he progressed from Hardware Design Engineer to Senior Electronics Engineer, demonstrating sustained impact on complex hardware systems and product validation. His background blends PCB/PCBA design, power-architecture problem solving, and embedded software across Python, C/C++, and tooling for manufacturing and test. He has a track record of turning prototypes into production-capable solutions—evident from leading CreateX-backed Strapt Vending’s secure bidirectional IoT payments and vending system and automating diagnostics at Tesla. Comfortable spanning lab bench to documentation, he pairs practical fabrication skills (3D printing, etching, PCB routing) with rigorous FMEA and validation processes. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic designs that balance form, function, and manufacturability.
