Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKelly Schultz is a Simulation Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in software and hardware-in-the-loop development and real-time testing at Draper in Cambridge, MA. They bridge model-based design in Simulink/Simulink Real-Time with C++ flight software integration across SIL, hard real-time, and Monte Carlo testbeds. Kelly’s background spans aerospace research, VR-enabled educational simulations, and plasma simulation work, demonstrating an ability to translate complex physics into performant, testable software systems. Comfortable across embedded, real-time, and higher-level simulation stacks, they focus on reliable integration of FSW and models for mission-critical validation. Notably, they embedded Julia into Unity3D to boost runtime performance for a VR aerospace teaching tool, reflecting a practical appetite for unconventional toolchains to solve performance problems.
