He brings a mix of aerospace and computer science knowledge from his both education and industry experiences. Mr. Esposito earned a B.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering from NC State University and a M.S. degree in Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology. He has worked in the areas of flight dynamics, planning and scheduling, service-oriented architectures, ground system architectures, flight software architectures, and flight autonomy of distributed spacecraft systems. His career started at NASA GSFC, where he worked as a software engineer in the Mission Applications Branch for more than six years developing flight dynamics systems for Earth and space science missions, GMSEC middleware-based ground system technologies, and flight software experiments. After leaving civil service, Mr. Esposito joined the Boeing Iridium team, where he was responsible for maintenance and development of real-time systems. He joined Emergent in 2005 and has been responsible for a wide range of efforts in leading, supporting, or implementing ground software, flight software, and multi-mission operations efforts.

Mr. Esposito was the Principal Investigator for a space-based version of a cloud computing suite of services called Cirrus, which is a key enabler to allowing computing at the edge of space. In his Chief Software Architect role, he provides design guidance for Emergent’s flight software and simulation technology to maximize interoperability, reusability, cybersecurity, and ability to meet future civil, military and intelligence community needs.
