Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Pelmear is a Principal RF Software Engineer with 15 years of experience combining software engineering, microwave systems, and hardware automation to deliver robust prototypes and production systems in startup and aerospace environments. He has led distributed engineering teams and driven end-to-end solutions—from RF simulations and antenna systems for on-orbit applications to cloud-backed automated test frameworks using Go, C/C++, Python, AWS, and Linux. Known for pragmatic problem analysis and rapid prototyping, he bridges low-level embedded work with higher-level system architecture and CI-driven delivery. His background spans theater-design-driven attention to user-facing systems to hands-on lab work with VNAs, oscilloscopes, and signal generators, a blend that helps him translate messy physical measurements into repeatable software processes. Now at SpaceX, he continues to marry electromagnetics, signal processing, and control expertise with scalable software practices to push complex RF systems into flight-ready hardware.
