Jesse Campbell is a Staff Flight Software Engineer and GNC FSW Manager with a decade of experience at the nexus of physics, aerospace, and embedded software. Trained as a physicist with an MS in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, he has led GNC software development, simulation, and CI/CD infrastructure for multiple commercial and mission-critical space programs. His career spans hands-on flight software design in C/C++, Matlab/Simulink autocoding, a rewrite of legacy FORTRAN into Julia, and building deterministic event-driven simulators for spacecraft validation. At Vast he manages the GNC flight software subdivision, bringing both people leadership and practical dev-ops expertise to bridge GNC algorithms and production FSW. Known for practical problem solving and rigorous standards, he pairs academic rigor with a history of end-to-end mission support from RF testing and launch-base ops to on-orbit maneuver planning. He’s driven by a long-standing passion for space exploration and building the software systems that make it possible.
