Ep 219 - Pierce Osborn - Off Grid Throttles - Run Into The Sky

I grew up in NJ and studied Mechanical Engineering at Penn State, graduating in 2014. My career began at Dentsply Sirona, where I designed components for the Cavitron system. I then worked as a new product engineer at Yamaha, focusing on outfitting for their waverunners. At Heckler and Koch, I designed various weapon systems, including the high-profile NGSW (Next Gen Squad Weapon) project. My last role was lead design engineer at Daniel Defense, where I developed the DDPCC weapon system, set to be released later this year. In 2018, I began flying and founded Off-Grid Aviation in 2020 to innovate better cruise control mechanisms for paramotors. Leveraging my background in product development, I moved from my garage to a proper workshop, and Off-Grid Aviation is now my primary occupation. We have 46 resellers worldwide and continue to expand. Our latest product, the Off-Grid Lite throttle, offers a simplified solution for paramotor manufacturers https://www.off-grid-aviation.com/
