Senior🎓
Top SchoolNate Fisher is a deeply technical software engineering leader with 14 years of experience building real-time embedded avionics and autonomy systems for both certified commercial aircraft and advanced air mobility platforms. As Chief Engineer at Shield AI and former Director of Avionics at Hermeus and Wisk, he has led architecture, certification, and cross-functional teams to deliver flight-critical software compliant with RTCA/DO standards. He combines low-level firmware expertise (ARM/C, C/C++, RTOS, hardware bring-up) with systems-level design for navigation, RNP, and mission management, and has hands-on flight test and certification experience. A Georgia Tech BSEE and registered Professional Engineer in Arizona, Nate uniquely pairs aerospace domain knowledge with entrepreneurial experience founding a software consulting agency and brokering $20M+ in aircraft transactions. Outside the lab he’s an instrument-rated pilot and skydiving instructor who’s survived extreme canopy incidents—bringing a practical, risk-aware perspective to safety-critical system design. Based in San Francisco, he blends avionics rigor with a hacker’s love of hardware, tacos, and flight.
