Summary
Krishtof Korda is a mechanical and aerospace engineer turned leader with nine years of experience building and integrating complex sensing and autonomy systems, now directing Global Field Application Engineering at Ouster. His career spans hands-on flight test and instrumentation on military aircraft to mechanical integration of lidar, radar, and sensor suites for autonomous vehicles at Lyft and Ouster, combining deep domain knowledge in dynamics, control, and computer vision. He has a track record of designing flight-test data systems and computer-vision installations used to train automated refueling networks and has executed over 149 flight test hours on the C-5M Super Galaxy. Comfortable at the intersection of hardware, software, and systems engineering, he leverages statistical data analysis and custom tooling (MATLAB and vision systems) to turn noisy test data into actionable product improvements. Based in Reno, he brings a disciplined, mission-focused approach rooted in military test experience and an eclectic curiosity that extends into blockchain and self-driving technologies.
