Senior🎓
Top SchoolDerek Ryder is a Senior Electrical Engineer with eight years of focused experience in high-speed digital CCA design and a two-decade career background in avionics and space electronics. He currently designs complex space-grade assemblies at Terran Orbital after leading multidisciplinary teams at Harris/L3Harris to deliver cutting-edge space-based hardware from concept through test. Derek has deep hands-on expertise with Xilinx FPGAs/SOCs (UltraScale, Zynq, Versal), DDR4, 100G Ethernet, PCIe Gen2–4, JESD204, high-density HDI and rigid-flex PCBs up to 24 layers, and mixed RF/power/digital integrations. He combines systems-level ownership—cost, schedule, manufacturing and reviews—with detailed layout and signal-integrity know-how that reduces risk on flight hardware. Based in Palm Bay, Florida, he pairs technical research instincts (as reflected in his GitHub bio) with practical delivery for space programs. His background suggests an ability to translate bleeding-edge digital requirements into manufacturable, space-qualified circuit assemblies.
