Senior🎓
Top SchoolJennifer Kissinger is a Principal Systems Data Engineer with 11 years of experience blending scientific rigor and production-grade data engineering to support orbital launch vehicles at Blue Origin. A physicist-turned-engineer with a Ph.D. in space physics, she applies advanced statistical analysis and systems thinking developed at NASA to design reliable system health monitoring and telemetry pipelines. She has led teams and platforms across domains—from CMS analytics at SemanticBits to medication decision-support systems—and is comfortable shipping solutions spanning Python, SQL, AWS, Kafka, and observability stacks. Her research background produced multiple first-author publications and taught her to turn noisy multi-sensor time-series into actionable insight, a skill she now uses to improve launch system reliability. Based in California, she combines hands-on technical leadership with a scientist’s curiosity about complex, real-world systems. Colleagues rely on her rare mix of deep domain expertise in space physics and practical experience building resilient data infrastructure.
