Flight Software Engineer at SpaceX
Redmond, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLilo Heinrich is a flight software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience, currently developing Starlink satellite bus software at SpaceX. A computing-focused engineering student at Olin College, Lilo pairs rigorous algorithmic training with practical systems work—from embedded avionics at Honeywell to satellite interference analysis and throughput modeling. Their projects span end-to-end technical depth: quadcopter localization using AprilTags and UWB, national crash-data analysis tools for DOT partners, and an evidence-supporting report generator for civil-rights litigation. Comfortable in C++, MATLAB, Python, and real-time systems, they’ve moved between aerospace, robotics, and public-interest data tools, demonstrating both low-level integration and broader policy-aware research. Notably, Lilo has blended musical discipline with engineering rigor—transcribing orchestra scores and interning at the Vienna State Opera—bringing uncommon attention to detail and pattern recognition to complex software problems. Based in Redmond, WA, they combine research publication experience with production-grade satellite software development.
