His journey through international supply chains has led him from the automotive industry to the forefront of aerospace additive manufacturing, notably serving as the Head of Additive Manufacturing at Rocket Lab and Staff Engineer at Heliogen. Currently, he is making strides in the aerospace sector at First Resonance, while fostering dialogues on evolving techniques in the value management of breakthrough science.

  • Karthik was at SpaceX for 5 years as a Dragon Flight software lead in charge of mission over mission operations.
