Rocket Altimeter Avionics

Flight electronics for altitude & telemetry · Jan 2026 – Present

I design and test the avionics for a rocket altimeter, handling sensor integration, signal conditioning, and data acquisition, and validating altitude measurement from pressure-sensor data to support real-time flight telemetry and post-flight analysis.

Pressure to altitude to telemetry

A pressure sensor's raw output is conditioned, digitized, and converted into a clean altitude value, then logged and streamed for live telemetry and later analysis.
