Kevin Watson's SpaceX Homepage

Yep, I'm no longer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I spent twenty-four fun and rewarding years at JPL (my old JPL webpage), but jumped ship when SpaceX called and offered me a job that was just too cool to turn down. In general, I'll be working to define and design the avionics architecture for SpaceX rockets and spacecraft that will be more robust, yet far less costly than current computing solutions for spaceflight.

What am I working on right now? Well, having finished the first generation fault-tolerant computer and networking hardware used on our Dragon spacecraft, I'm now working on the second generation of computers and networking hardware that will be used on future Falcon rockets and Dragon spacecraft.

Looking for code? My archived FIRST Robotics software and documentation can be found here. I've also ported some of my FIRST Robotics code to run on the very cool VEX Robotics controller. Vex code can be found here.
