Congrats to SpaceX!!!! My second cousin Brandon is one of the “Rocket Scientists” who works there. In his own words… “This is my dream job.” Currently he is the Director of Avionics Hardware Development at Space Exploration Technologies, working to make space more affordable. He started providing experience in the FPGA Design realm, but has moved on to leading an amazing team of engineers. Their focus has been on getting rockets to fly and working to develop a fault tolerant avionics design. An emphasis has been placed on low cost, highly manufacturable and small form factor. They have developed a highly modular design, allowing SpaceX designs to meet many different needs without needing to develop whole new systems.
