Senior🎓
Top SchoolZach Farmer is a Senior Electrical Engineer with eight years of hands-on and leadership experience designing high-reliability spacecraft avionics, ruggedized embedded systems, and space-qualified PCBs for LEO, VLEO and GEO+ missions. He has led and grown avionics teams at startups and scale-ups, driving cradle-to-grave hardware development, parts derating, EMI/EMC compliance, thermal and radiation analysis, and qualification of COTS-to-space designs. Skilled in high-speed digital design, SoCs/FPGAs, power electronics (including GaN FETs), signal integrity, and fault-tolerant architectures, he pairs systems engineering rigor with practical manufacturing and test experience. Zach is deeply committed to mentorship and talent development—he builds technical depth by coaching junior engineers while running cross-disciplinary programs that translate complex mission requirements into reliable flight hardware. Outside of avionics he runs a professional recording studio and credits on streaming platforms, a creative outlet that reinforces his systems-level thinking and attention to detail.
