Summary
Nolan Sornson is an electrical engineering generalist and Electronic Systems Manager with 10 years of hands-on experience designing and qualifying avionics hardware for spaceflight, including leading development of radiation-tolerant, GaN-based MPPT power electronics and high-efficiency switch-mode supplies for Astrobotic’s Griffin lunar lander. He combines cradle-to-grave product ownership—requirements, component trade studies, schematic/layout, manufacturing, and qualification testing—with systems-level leadership across PCDU, IAU, and PCU efforts and responsibility for multi-million-dollar subsystem decisions. Nolan has driven process improvements that cut test data review from hours to minutes via automated Python/LaTeX tooling, created SOPs that shortened lead times, and mentored teams through complex environmental test campaigns. Comfortable translating customer requirements into project milestones, he blends technical depth in power electronics with practical program management and cross-discipline collaboration, and has a track record of scaling team capabilities and repeatable manufacturing practices.
