Parth Mittal

I write software that has to work the first time: flight software for a chipsat, GPS-denied navigation for autonomous drones, covert radio links for MIT Lincoln Lab, and a multi-agent poker AI for an open game-theory problem. C++, Rust, and Python, down to the bytes.

Looking for Summer 2027 internships in flight software, embedded systems, autonomy, and systems engineering.

  • 80→20%space usage after rebuilding a chipsat’s entire flight stack
  • 2papers: AIAA JAIS (second author, under review) and SPIE 2026 (published)
  • 4engineering roles: Cornell SSDS, Spin Drift, MIT Lincoln Lab, Phi Dynamics
  • 50k+PyPI downloads of my open-source libraries
