Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJim Lindblom is a senior software engineering manager with 17+ years building safety-critical embedded systems for human spaceflight and satellites, currently leading Crew Capsule Avionics Software at Blue Origin. He blends hands-on technical work—writing code, reviewing designs, and building tools—with people leadership, having driven seven major DO-178C software qualifications on-time in a single year and enabled the vehicle’s first human-flight certification. Known as a "doer manager," he grows team capability without headcount increases through strategic assignments and mentorship, and has shepherded cross-discipline integrations from LIDAR to escape initiators. Jim is an early GenAI adopter who creates custom AI tooling (VS Code extensions, automated reporting, ticket generators) that measurably multiply team productivity and recover lost capacity. His background includes hardware and product design at SparkFun and embedded flight software at CesiumAstro, giving him rare depth across hardware, firmware, and certification. Based in Broomfield, CO, he seeks senior management or director roles at the intersection of technical depth and people leadership in aerospace.
