Samuel Feibel has had a varied and impressive work experience. In 2015, they were a Lead Counselor for the Rotary Club Youth Camp Association Inc., where they developed leadership, crisis management, delegation, and communication skills. From 2017 to 2020, they held various roles with Cornell University Unmanned Air Systems, where they led requirement designation and preliminary aerodynamics and structural design of a vertical takeoff and landing system, strengthened the fuselage by 250% and improved accessibility by designing and manufacturing composite fuselage, landing gear, and modular hatch as the fuselage skin lead. In 2018, they were an Electrical Engineer for the Sprite Satellite Project at Cornell's Space System Design Studio, where they developed a guided atmospheric re-entry system for orbiting Sprite satellites by implementing shape changing hardware, trajectory simulation, and PCB layout to control new mechanism and interface with spacecraft system, and designed the layout of a PCB Solar Sail as part of a NASA-funded Alpha-Starshot project. In the same year, they were a Satellite Orbits Intern for Ursa, where they saved the Production team 5 hours a week by developing a tool that rendered contractor's satellite access studies redundant, fully removing Ursa's dependency on their system. In 2019, they were a Hardware Engineering Intern for Skydio, where they developed a thermal solution for a new drone through empirical testing and simulation to constrain mass and volume of components for initial vehicle design, managed the final 2 months of development of a new product by designing user experienced based components, communicating with manufacturers, and integrating with software, and strengthened flight components to take 35% higher impact speeds while increasing mass by 5% through analysis in FEA and efficient component redesign. In 2020, they were a Multibody Dynamics Engineer for SpaceX, where they automated the process of generating, simulating, and analyzing Dragon splashdown load cases to decrease manual time by 75%, created code structure for environmental modelling and Monte Carlo selection splashdown ocean conditions, and developed a simulation for a novel stage separation method. That same year, they were also a Hardware Design Lead for The Ventilator Project. In 2021, they were a GNC Analyst for Draper. Finally, in 2022, they are a GNC Development Engineer II for Inversion, where they are developing the GNC system for Inversion's re-entry vehicle demonstrator, Ray, performing astrodynamic analysis, navigation and control design, sensor selection, and software integration.

Samuel Feibel attended Cornell University from 2016 to 2020, where they earned a Bachelor's degree in Engineering Physics/Applied Physics. Samuel then went on to pursue a Master of Engineering (MEng) in Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical/Space Engineering at Cornell University, which they completed in 2020.
