Summary
David Moore is a Principal Software Engineer with 15 years of experience building low-level, high-performance systems for spaceflight and consumer applications, currently architecting communications, telemetry, and fault-tolerant software across SpaceX vehicles and ground segments. He blends deep C/C++ and Python expertise with real-time Linux and driver development, RF and hardline communications, and GN&C algorithm work—bringing both embedded kernel-level rigor and high-level service design to mission-critical systems. His background spans vision and graphics at DreamWorks and autonomous perception research at MIT, giving him a rare combination of signal-processing, visualization, and networking chops. Based in South Pasadena, he’s known for integrating spacecraft interfaces with ground systems and for automating antenna and optical control—skills that reflect both hands-on device-driver craft and systems-level operational thinking.
