Role

As the propulsion operations engineer for SatDrive, my role focuses on system engineering. Translating the in orbit operational needs of our customer and translating those to requirements for the software, electronic and mechanical teams. Apart from that, I contributed to the flight software and helped scaling the Assembly Integration and Testing process to deliver these systems at scale.
