Sarah
Electrical Engineer
Hi, I’m Sarah and I make planes safer by developing ways to help pilots spot and avoid other objects in the sky. I am curious about how things work, and enjoy designing new laser systems. Communication is essential as we work in a team to go from the ideas stage to finished product. My enthusiasm for engineering comes from the fact that it allows me to be part of creating a more interesting future.
