Kailash Kalidoss

I'm a lively and motivated engineering management professional with a passion for sharing the knowledge involving Science and Technology in aviation, space exploration, and astronomy. I'm grateful to be recognized as a Solar System Ambassador by NASA for my passion and love of all things Aerospace.

The foundation of my professional experience is in handling complex projects involving, Quality Assurance and Design Control of Embedded Medical devices, starting from Business requirements to product release. I also handle the Verification & Validation of various critical systems. In my 11+ years of experience, I have worked for various leading US-based Medical Device Companies. Currently, I work for an engineering consulting firm based out of the Bay area in California.

I’m a passionate aerospace enthusiast and a student pilot. I strive to take this passion and knowledge and make a difference to the community. I’m a Second Lieutenant with the Civil Air Patrol, a United States Airforce Auxiliary. I contribute towards Aerospace Education and Safety and I’m also a part of the aircrew.

Academically my career is well rounded with an MBA from a prestigious B-School. Also, I have good exposure to STEM fields through MS and Engineering Bachelor degrees earlier, to effectively complement the B-School erudition. Outside of work you can find me spending time with family, traveling, continuously learning new trades and playing an occasional game of Cricket.

If you think I can make a difference to your community through my aerospace and STEM education initiatives, please get in touch with me.
