Mr. Brice Howard has spent the last two decades at the intersection of space and robotics. In the first decade of his  career, he had the opportunity to design and lead the development of spaceflight hardware for both Bigelow Aerospace and NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC). He was part of the team that successfully launched Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 into orbit. At NASA JSC, Brice worked with the Advanced Space Suit team, gaining critical exposure to lunar logistics and the systems required for long-term success. He led the effort to redesign and certify the SAFER jet pack, which remains in use aboard the International Space Station. Closing out his first decade, he joined NASA’s team competing in the DARPA Robotics Challenge, where he and his team designed and built the humanoid robot known as Valkyrie.

In his second decade, Brice transitioned into entrepreneurship, first cutting his teeth at the startup Intuitive Machines before setting out on his own to found companies that aligned with his passions for space and robotics. In 2016, he launched Nexus Technologies, a company focused on bringing automation to manufacturing. In 2021, he co-founded Novium, an engineering services company specializing in the electrification of spaceflight hardware. Now, in 2025, Brice has founded his latest venture, Syntric Solutions, a consulting firm dedicated to advancing space robotics by guiding the industry through kinematic architecting and robotic in-space logistics.

Brice holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, pursued graduate studies in controls at Texas A&M University, and earned a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Houston.

Beyond his work, Brice is a devoted husband to his wife, Addie, and a proud father to their 18-year-old daughter, Madison. He is happiest when he is building—whether it’s challenging hardware, complex systems, high-performing teams, or robust organizations. He thrives on bringing order to chaos and simplifying the complex. Passionate about demystifying spaceflight hardware, he is committed to empowering industries with enabling technology and driving the next generation of innovation in robotics and automation.
