Senior🎓
Top SchoolNavya Meka is an aerospace engineer specializing in avionics structures with nine years of hands-on experience leading student and industry projects. A University of Illinois senior and soon-to-be SpaceX Starlink Space Lasers Engineer, she combines system-level mechanical design, thermal and structural analysis, and prototyping—from leading a record-breaking 2-stage rocket team to building a functioning mini fiber amplifier prototype at SpaceX. As Avionics Structures Lead for the Illinois Space Society she optimizes mass, form factor, and harnessing for mixed commercial and student components while preserving ease of assembly for future teams. She’s equally comfortable managing large cross-functional teams and running detailed fabrication and test campaigns, and maintains project artifacts on GitHub to help future chapters push boundaries further.
