Rohan Punnoose
I’m a Senior Guidance, Navigation, and Control Engineer at SpaceX, where I’m responsible for guidance and control for Starship reentry. We own the end-to-end product (everything from flight algorithms to physics modeling to operations) for flying Starship through the atmosphere and back to the launch site.
I completed my MS in Aero / Astro at Stanford University in 2021 and my BS in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan in 2018.
I live in Los Angeles, CA.
Outside of work, I enjoy jumping out of airplanes and going fast; I especially like to fly wingsuits.
If you find yourself in LA and are also interested in spaceflight, airplanes, energy, AI and robotics and the future of engineering, I’m always down to grab a beer. If you’re also a wingsuiter, come through to Skydive Perris and let’s fly together.
