Summary
Wesley Gardner is an Avionics Systems Integration Engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience designing, integrating, and testing flight-grade avionics and embedded systems, currently at SpaceX. He built end-to-end subsystem integrations for nanosatellites early in his career—implementing UART, I2C, SPI buses and real-time embedded C firmware—and now focuses on complex avionics integration for orbital vehicle systems. His background in physics, computer science, and math supports a methodical approach to RF, signal, and fault-tolerance challenges, informed by prior applied quantum computing research into decoherence and resonator behavior. Comfortable across hardware and software boundaries, he has repeatedly translated lab prototypes into flight hardware and production-ready systems. Based in Missouri, he blends precision assembly-line discipline with deep embedded-systems expertise to deliver reliable mission-critical solutions.
