Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKeenan Buckley is a software engineer with 8 years of experience specializing in real-time estimation, navigation, and embedded C++/Python systems for aerospace applications. At Pathfinder Systems he develops and deploys multithreaded nonlinear filtering and smoothing pipelines for airborne IRST+R, validated through live flight tests and constrained embedded hardware. He previously led software integration for autonomous navigation in GPS-denied underground environments during his time at Colorado School of Mines, deploying SLAM and navigation stacks end-to-end. His toolset spans EKF/UKF design, sensor noise characterization, narrow-FOV camera calibration, and Python-based analysis and tuning tooling. Outside of work he iterates on guidance, navigation, and control software in Kerbal Space Program using kOS, where he’s implemented launch guidance, orbital transfers, and powered descent — an exercise that surfaces edge-case dynamics he brings back to real-world systems. Based in Golden, Colorado, he combines hands-on flight test experience with a strong robotics graduate background to close the loop from algorithm to deployed embedded system.
