Summary
Neal Gordon is a Staff Dynamics Engineer with 11 years of aerospace-focused experience in structural dynamics, aeroelasticity, and composite aircraft design and testing. Based in Mojave, CA, he has advanced hypersonic airplane dynamics work at Stratolaunch and a deep hands-on background from Scaled Composites in composite analysis, build, and flight test. His skill set blends finite-element simulation, CATIA-driven composite design, and Python tooling—skills developed earlier through industry roles and graduate research on ceramic matrix composites using electrical resistance and acoustic-emission monitoring. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex material and structural behavior into practical testable designs, and he brings uncommon cross-discipline fluency from shop-level fabrication to high-fidelity aeroelastic analysis.
