CV
Summary
I’ve been working in the space industry since 2008. I have designed and validated On-Board Software, I have work in Operations as a satellite controler and I have a good knowledge of Attitude and Orbit Control Subsystem. I have worked on LEO, MEO and GEO satellites
I have got a multidisciplinary engineering education, with a focus on areonautics, space, and I have a good software knwoledge.
What’s motivates me is to participate to challenging and inspiring projects. I think the aerospace industry is an amazing place to develop and use problem solving and design thinking skills.
Work Experience
AOCS and Software Engineer, OHB Sweden
Since April 2014
Design and implementation of the Attitude and Orbit Control Subsystem for EDRS-C satellite. Writing specifications and implementing unit, scenario and integration testing of flight software. Participations to AOCS CDR and QR review.
Spacecraft Controler, SES
December 2011 - March 2014
Responsible for the health and safety of SES satellites. Operations on many different bus and ground system (Astrium Eurostar 2000 and 3000, Lockheed Martin a2100, Space Systems/Loral LS-1300.) Responsible of execution of Station Keeping Maneuvers, Payload and Power procedures.
On-Board Software Engineer, Thales Alenia Space
March 2008 - November 2011
Software validation for the second generation of Globalstar satellites, mainly on the AOCS and DHS part. The main task is to write test specifications and procedures, and analyze the result of the tests in order to see if the software matches the requirements. The tests are run on a test bench with the real on board computer in open loop or in closed loop with a simulated environment. Work with developers and AOCS team to identify if detected problems are a software error or a problem in the spacecraft control laws. Other task include technical support to operational teams during LEOP and verification of specific algorithms (for example sensor data correction using fine calibration results provided by equipment supplier) in Matlab.
Software development for O3b satellite constellation, mainly on antenna pointing. Design and implementation of a prototype to evaluate algorithm performance and for testing with an equipment in manufacturer facilities.
