Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDominic Gaiero is a co-founder and GN&C engineer with nine years of experience building systems at the intersection of aerospace, hardware, and web technologies. Based in San Francisco, he currently splits his time between a stealth startup, co-founding Perch Sensing, and senior guidance, navigation, and control work at Lockheed Martin, bringing product-focused engineering to both startups and defense programs. He holds a BS in Computer Engineering and an MS in Electrical Engineering from Cal Poly SLO and has a track record of leading cross-functional technical teams, from university lab operations to web services for IEEE. Dominic combines analytical rigor and a restorative troubleshooting mindset—skills honed designing GN&C algorithms and repairing lab infrastructure—to drive reliable, testable systems. He favors decoupled architectures and practical tooling, evident from his full-stack projects that made collaborator discovery and asset tracking more maintainable and integrable. Curious and deliberate by nature, he often surfaces overlooked system dependencies early in product design to reduce late-stage rework.
