Senior🎓
Top SchoolTyler Reid is a technically deep CTO and research scientist with a decade of experience at the intersection of GPS/GNSS, autonomy, and space systems. He co-founded Xona Space Systems and leads its technical roadmap after a research-rich career at Stanford and industry roles at Ford and Google focused on localization, mapping, and large-scale V&V for autonomous vehicles. His PhD-level background in aeronautics and astronautics underpins practical work on industry-first AV localization requirements, GPS integrity, and LEO PNT for safety-critical navigation. Tyler combines hands-on algorithm and systems development with technology scouting and standards-minded evaluation practices, making him equally comfortable in labs, fleet trials, and startup strategy. Based in Montreal, he brings a rare blend of academic rigor, field-proven engineering, and entrepreneurial drive to solve robustness and integrity challenges in next-generation navigation.
