Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJustin Kleiber is a Guidance, Navigation, and Control engineer with 11 years of experience building autonomous systems for aviation and maritime platforms, currently advancing flight autonomy at Reliable Robotics. He blends rigorous academic training (MS, Computer Engineering, 4.0, Virginia Tech) with hands-on firmware and software work—from C/C++ safety-critical avionics to Python-based data analysis and CI tooling. His research on robust control, system identification, and Gaussian processes for AUVs informs practical solutions that improve state estimation and controller resilience under modeling uncertainty. A long-time robotics builder and student team leader, he has shipped ROS navigation stacks, hardware-in-the-loop test frameworks, and automated flight verification pipelines. Known for a playful hacker streak ("hastening the robot uprising since 2012"), he pairs curiosity-driven experimentation with production-focused engineering to make autonomous vehicles safer and more reliable.
