Fischer Gabbert

Fischer Gabbert has a diverse work experience in the field of GNC engineering and autonomy and flight controls. Starting from 2012, Fischer worked as a Design Engineer at Piper Aircraft, where they focused on upgrading aircraft structures. In 2013, Fischer joined the Canada-France Hawai'i Telescope Corporation as a Mechanical Engineer, contributing to the investigation and design of a more efficient telescope hydraulics system. From 2013 to 2015, Fischer worked as the President and Mechanical Engineer at Horsehead Engineering. In 2014, they joined Northrop Grumman Corporation as a Vehicle Engineer, specializing in redesigning the rudder flight control system for Naval Aircraft.

Fischer then transitioned to Northrop Grumman in 2015, where they held multiple roles as a Guidance, Navigation, and Controls Engineer. Their responsibilities included supporting the cleanup of a high-fidelity dynamics simulation, developing automated processes for modal extraction and stability margin analysis. From 2018 to 2019, Fischer worked at Skyryse as an Autonomy and Flight Controls specialist.

Currently, Fischer Gabbert is working at Elroy Air, starting in 2019. They hold the position of GNC Lead and are responsible for designing both linear and nonlinear control laws for autonomous flight. Fischer is involved in the development of simulations, analysis for controllability, and safety verification of large-scale autonomous aircraft.

Throughout their career, Fischer Gabbert has demonstrated expertise in GNC engineering, flight controls, simulation, analysis, and design, making significant contributions to various companies in the aerospace industry.

Fischer Gabbert attended the University of Florida from 2011 to 2015 and obtained a Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering. Subsequently, from 2015 to 2018, Fischer Gabbert pursued further education at the University of Southern California, earning a Master's of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering.
