Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolConnor Jakubik is a lead software engineer with nine years of experience building high-fidelity, real-time simulation systems for space applications and VR. He leads a 19-person team at SimDynamX developing Space Teams PRO, a multiuser VR platform that integrates scientific models, GIS-derived planet surfaces, and photometrically correct rendering for mission design, training, and STEM education. His work spans low-level C++ systems—multithreading, netcode, async physics, and distributed design—plus Unreal Engine modifications like double-precision coordinate rebasing to enable solar-system-scale simulation. Connor brought similar simulation and AR/VR expertise to NASA JSC, where he rendered realtime Lunar South Pole terrain and optimized VR performance for astronaut training. He also mentors students at Texas A&M, tying academic research to operational simulators, and outside work pursues flight sims and climbing, reflecting his blend of technical precision and hands-on curiosity.
