Mr. Brandon White is a technology transition leader responsible for managing Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I and II activities. With a background in electrical engineering, Mr. White began his career as an electrical power systems engineer, contributing to various design and testing initiatives. Some of his most notable accomplishments include supporting the development of an Electrical Test Platform for a crewed space vehicle and working on Solar Electric Propulsion hardware for advanced space propulsion projects. He also has experience as a Reliability Engineer within the field of safety and mission assurance.
Mr. White’s dedication to STEM extends far beyond his professional work and into the neighborhoods of Cleveland. For about a decade, he has served as a FIRST LEGO Robotics coach at Olivet Institutional Baptist Church. Two of his proudest moments include leading his robotics team, alongside FBC partners Charles Doxley and Fransua Thomas, to the Ohio State Championships, where they won the tournament's MLK Diversity Award, and receiving the FIRST Robotics Coach/Mentor award after being nominated by his team. His commitment to mentorship is also evident through his involvement with programs such as the Greater Cleveland National Society of Black Engineers Jr. chapter and the True2U program, which partners with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.
Looking back on his decision to pursue electrical engineering at Alabama A&M University, Mr. White was drawn to the field because of its flexibility and diverse career opportunities. However, through outreach and mentorship—like the programs mentioned above—he realized that many young people were unaware of the vast possibilities within STEM careers. To address this gap, Mr. White, along with Mr. Doxley and Mr. Thomas, founded FBC Technical Solutions as a platform to engage with students, spark their interest in STEM, and provide them with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to consider careers in the field.
