Summary
Cole Pazar is a Space Resources engineer and avionics manufacturing specialist with a decade of hands-on experience designing, building, and scaling electromechanical and optical avionics systems for reusable heavy-launch vehicles. At SpaceX he leads new product introduction and builds factory-to-flight production processes that enable high-volume, rapid manufacturability of Starship electronics and sensors. He combines a MS in Space Resource Engineering with field experience in solar energy and planetary geology, bringing rare domain depth in ISRU concepts, surface geomorphology, and space-based power to practical avionics production. Cole’s work spans R&D, acceptance and qualification testing, and vehicle integration, consistently simplifying designs for reliability across thousands of potential Mars flights. Beyond the lab and factory, he’s an artist and former field geologist who connects technical rigor with a long-term vision to reverse climate change and make multiplanetary habitation possible.
