Hired by Booz Allen as a robotics engineer, this Cornell-educated expert develops software and control theory for small robots and CubeSats (i.e. small satellites), and advises government clients on how to best strategize future research in these fields.
Robotics may sound interesting, but it’s the real-world applications that excite Eric. “There have been many significant developments in robotics and satellite engineering throughout the last 10 years,” says Eric. “Booz Allen is positioned as a technical advisor for many clients at the forefront of robotics and satellite engineering, and I am fortunate to be directly involved as these fields become increasingly important.”
One of his proudest accomplishments so far was working on the control systems for the mirrors of a small space telescope during a college internship, where he provided a direct contribution to a device that was eventually launched into space.
“There have been many significant developments in robotics and satellite engineering throughout the last 10 years.”
“Not only do I get to work on cool projects of real-world importance, but engineering is fun,” says Eric. “Engineering problem-solving is something I find innately enjoyable.”
Eric earned his B.S. in engineering physics and his M.S. in mechanical engineering from Cornell University. He currently works at a Booz Allen’s Center for Robotics Systems and Simulation in Arlington, Virginia.
