Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Massucco is a Senior Spacecraft Engineer based in San Francisco with a decade of hands-on experience designing and operating complex electrical and avionics systems. He combines deep electrical engineering roots from Northeastern with consumer device rigor from multiple iPhone hardware roles at Apple and spaceflight-focused systems work at Astranis, where he now serves as an internal consultant on autonomous fault response, power operations, mission planning, and hardware-in-the-loop testbeds. Known for digging into cross-functional architecture problems, he has led MB layout and schematic reuse efforts, designed power and BMS circuits, and built test infrastructure that scaled to hundreds of internal users. Energetic and empathetic, James balances meticulous technical execution with practical documentation and tooling to improve team scalability. An uncommon strength is his track record of moving between fast-paced consumer electronics and mission-critical space systems, bringing both production discipline and systems-level thinking to satellite development.
