Summary
Marion Anderson is a Simulation Engineer and nonlinear control expert with 9 years of hands-on experience spanning GNC, DSP, mechatronics, PCBA, and CAD, now based in the San Francisco Bay Area. With a PhD focused on linearizable hybrid dynamics and numerical methods for robot control, Marion combines deep theoretical fluency with practical implementation—from motor-control PCBs and firmware to real-time wireless systems and experimental robotic platforms. At the University of Michigan they led full-stack custom electronics development, managed teams, and ran test automation and git administration, and they now apply that systems mindset at Muon Space. Known for bridging control theory and hardware, Marion has repeatedly turned complex research problems into robust, testable systems and trained others to do the same. An unexpected thread through their work is frequent end-to-end ownership: mechanical design, electrical integration, firmware, and high-level control all handled by the same engineer.
