David Strott

David Strott is an aerospace engineer and engineering generalist whose work spans robotics, drones, spacecraft, navigation hardware, and agricultural systems. Through Revolution Engineering, which he founded in 2011, he develops mechatronic systems including telerobotic platforms that combine unmanned aircraft with virtual reality, optical and inertial navigation systems, pointing mechanisms, landing sensors, and urban agriculture systems. His services and expertise include systems engineering, mechanical and electrical design, embedded electronics, software development, testing, light manufacturing, and engineering infrastructure.

Strott has contributed to spacecraft architecture, guidance and navigation, electric propulsion electronics, lunar landing navigation, avionics, and environmental testing. His experience includes developing hardware and software prototypes, custom printed circuit boards, test equipment, requirements tools, and integration and verification plans. Earlier work covered launch vehicle test systems, turbocharger design, flight software verification, underwater gliders, and rocket propulsion systems. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering Sciences from the University of Colorado Boulder and has pursued additional studies in engineering systems and computer science.
