Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolJed Diller is a realtime software engineer with 13 years of experience building flight-grade control and embedded systems for balloons, rockets, microsatellites, and observatories. Based in Hilo, Hawaii, he blends software development with hands-on electrical, thermal, and systems engineering—having developed and flown multiple high-altitude balloon payloads, a microsatellite constellation, and a sounding rocket payload. At organizations like Southwest Research Institute and NOIRLab he led fine-pointing control systems, flight software for constellation missions, and end-to-end integration from PCB design to launch operations. Jed is comfortable moving between low-latency real-time code and hardware-in-the-loop testing, and has a track record of squeezing exceptional pointing performance out of constrained platforms (down to sub-arcsecond RMS). He also frequently proposes and architects mission concepts, including cubesats and interplanetary payloads, showing a blend of creativity and practical delivery.
