Summary
John Monnig is an Aerodynamics, Stability, and Control engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience in flight dynamics, flight testing, and control-system development across Boeing and Joby Aviation. He blends deep technical skills—nonlinear optimization, uncertainty quantification (including Gaussian processes and Monte Carlo), Matlab/Simulink tool development, and real-time flight-test analysis—with practical program execution as a Scrum Master and project manager. Known for closing the loop between simulation, wind-tunnel, and flight test data, he has driven avionics and handling-qualities work including icing, PIO, and biodynamic coupling assessments. Based in the Greater Seattle Area, he holds an MS in Aerospace Engineering (Controls) from the University of Washington and brings a consistent record of shipping robust analysis tools, unit-tested GUIs, and documented workflows that speed certification and reduce risk. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate advanced UQ and ML research into operational tools used in live flight test programs.
