Tucson, Arizona, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDustan Kraus is a Robotics-focused Software Engineer IV with 10 years of experience designing, testing, and deploying perception and control software for aerospace and robotics platforms. He has advanced GNC and manipulation expertise from roles at Raytheon and Maxar and now applies that systems-thinking to product-grade robotics software at OKSI. His academic work on multi-arm manipulation with soft, pneumatically actuated robots and hands-on projects at Los Alamos and BYU reflect a rare blend of mechanical intuition and software rigor. Dustan is comfortable across the stack—embedded control, ROS, Linux, and algorithm development—and has repeatedly turned prototypes into deployable systems for flight and fielded applications. Colleagues describe him as someone who bridges research and production, equally at ease characterizing hardware (motors, reaction wheels, sensors) and shipping robust control software. Based in Tucson, he brings a pragmatic, test-driven approach rooted in measured field results and clear technical communication.
