Summary
Jonathan Kessluk is a computer engineer with eight years of experience specializing in avionics, telecommunications, and space systems engineering based in Melbourne, Florida. At NASA he architects and validates voice, video, and telemetry networks for spacecraft missions, blending hands-on lab testing with real-time launch-day operations and contingency troubleshooting. His skill set spans electronics and PCB design to networking (VLAN, MPLS, multicast) and embedded/software development in C# and C++, enabling end-to-end solutions from analog interfaces to IP-based transport. He has experience coordinating contractors and synthesizing complex requirements into robust, deployable infrastructure across multiple launch and payload facilities. Outside mission work he’s driven to prototype improvements and side projects that push operational capabilities—if it beeps or goes to space, he’s likely involved. Trained at the University of Central Florida, he combines theatrical lighting and lab-instruction roots with rigorous aerospace systems practice, giving him a pragmatic, multidisciplinary approach.
