Top SchoolDannah Gersh is a Guidance, Navigation, and Controls Engineer at Boeing with nine years of multidisciplinary engineering experience spanning control systems, embedded firmware, mechanical design, and front-end/database application development. After earning a B.S. in Computer Engineering (with a controls-focused Mechanical Engineering minor) from the University of Pittsburgh, she moved to Seattle and quickly became a subject-matter expert on folding wingtip control laws for the 777X program. She combines model-based engineering, Matlab data analysis, and C-based test automation to design, validate, and debug safety-critical flight control software while coordinating cross-functional teams, suppliers, and regulators. Known for rapidly learning new tools and forming practical understandings of complex systems, she has applied Agile process improvements to streamline problem-report workflows and boost first-time quality. Outside of avionics, her background includes robotics localization and power electronics troubleshooting, reflecting a knack for translating hands-on lab work into production-ready solutions.
