Summary
Ethan Barnes is a flight software engineer with 10 years of hands-on experience building and delivering embedded C, C++, and Python systems for satellites and spacecraft. He has led payload integration, developed GNC device drivers, and created reusable flight software based on NASA’s cFS while working through full lifecycle activities from requirements to on-orbit operations. At Boeing he combined rapid prototyping and systems engineering collaboration with Scrum/SAFe leadership, and he now applies that background to flight software at Blue Origin. Earlier roles at NASA Glenn and university small-sat programs show a track record of experimental communications work, adaptive algorithms, and team leadership on hardware-in-the-loop projects. Based in Seattle, he blends low-level device work with system-level delivery discipline and a proclivity for developing reusable architectures that accelerate mission readiness.
