Meet our next guest, Naksha Roy as we discover her journey! Naksha Roy is a Systems Engineer in the defense and space manufacturing industry, working to advance the model-based systems architectures for complex air vehicle systems. She leverages digital tools to enhance system design, integration, and lifecycle management. Passionate about building the "digital thread" in Systems Engineering, Naksha is dedicated to strengthening the digital communication frameworks that enable seamless flow of data and key artifacts across the entire product lifecycle. Raised in Queens, New York, Naksha discovered her love for STEM at an early age through hands-on labs and science fair projects, which fueled her passion for innovation and transforming ideas into real-world solutions. This drive led her to pursue engineering at MIT, where she earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering in 2022. She has gained experience across various domains, including membrane materials development, process design, manufacturing, energy and sustainability consulting, and materials & process engineering. Inspired by her work in industry, Naksha is now pursuing a Master’s in Applied Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech, where she is expanding her knowledge of model-based tools and techniques for modern-day systems engineering and lifecycle management. Beyond her technical work, Naksha enjoys being part of programs and initiatives related to mentorship, professional development, and outreach. She is a board member of her company’s Women’s Impact Network and Professional Asian American Network and an active member of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE). Through these organizations, she is not only able to grow her network but also has found meaningful opportunities to give back, support women and underrepresented groups in STEM, and inspire future generations.
