Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChris Flesher is a Software Engineer Lead in Austin with 10 years of experience building autonomy, localization, and sonar-processing systems for long-duration underwater vehicles. At Stone Aerospace he architects and implements perception, estimation, and sonar post-processing algorithms for AUVs like SUNFISH®, leveraging hands-on systems integration experience gained across ARTEMIS, ENDURANCE, and VALKYRIE programs. His work spans low-level drivers, middleware, visualization, and field deployments—including months spent testing robots in Antarctica and glacier trials in Alaska—resulting in robust dead-reckoning solutions with sub-percent position error. Trained as an electrical engineer (BS, OSU; MS, UT Austin), he blends hardware and software expertise to solve harsh-environment autonomy challenges and routinely converts noisy sensor data into high-accuracy maps. Notably, he has led both software and electronics development for novel cryobots and large AUVs, demonstrating an unusual combination of algorithmic depth and real-world field validation.
