Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSebastian Benner is a GNC modelling and simulation engineer with a decade of practical aerospace experience across the U.S. and Germany and unrestricted U.S. work authorization. He currently develops guidance, navigation, and control systems at Lockheed Martin after hands-on GNC leadership on a 2U CubeSat that achieved sub-0.05° simulated pointing using quaternion LQR and a real-time MEKF. His background blends high-fidelity simulation (Basilisk), flight-software integration, and Python automation for large engineering workflows, enabling repeatable, system-level verification. Sebastian pairs aerospace engineering rigor with field experience—seasonal drone operations, instruction, and equipment logistics in Europe—that sharpened his operational and maintenance instincts. He has repeatedly turned manual, time-consuming processes into automated tools that unlocked previously infeasible analyses, earning multiple contract extensions. Based in Grand Prairie, TX, he brings cross-cultural collaboration and multidisciplinary coordination to complex A&D development cycles.
