Senior🎓
Top SchoolConnor Colombo is a senior electrical engineer and roboticist with a decade of experience designing avionics, embedded systems, and end-to-end hardware/software testbeds for lunar and robotic missions. At Astrobotic he leads avionics for a NASA SBIR lunar effort and manages propulsion thermal control systems, having saved hundreds of project hours by automating schematic design and production tracking. His background spans circuit and PCB design, RTOS and low-level driver development, and building custom emulators and automated FlatSat environments that accelerate spacecraft integration. As Chief Engineer and Avionics Co-Lead for CMU’s Iris lunar rover, he delivered critical power redesigns, resilient flight software (FPrime/FreeRTOS) components, and an over-the-air reflash system tolerant of asymmetric lunar latency. Connor combines entrepreneurial grit from founding hardware startups with deep hands-on experience in cleanroom flight hardware, developer tooling, and cross-discipline systems integration.
