Managed a team of 16 engineers, technicians, and researchers working on rocket propulsion testing. Oversaw more than 1000 propulsion tests annually, including monopropellant, bipropellant, and hybrid systems.

Planned experimental campaigns and coordinated resources for internal and international aerospace projects while managing safety operations in a high-risk propulsion test facility.

Participated in system engineering and technical design of a new vacuum propulsion test laboratory exceeding 15M EUR, led development of a mobile rocket propulsion test laboratory project of around 0.4M EUR, and delivered commercial and research projects with ESA, startups, and established space companies.

Accountable for personnel safety in a high-risk environment: risk analyses, FMEA, operating and emergency procedures, safety training, and safety culture across the site. Responsible for operating, maintaining and further developing the test infrastructure, both hardware and software. Tests covered solid rocket systems as well.

Reviewed design documentation for the vacuum laboratory (requirements, specifications, P&ID, FMEA). Handled budget planning, recruitment, reporting and appraisals, process creation and implementation, and knowledge transfer and team training. Managed interfaces with technology partners, contractors and clients, and acquired new partners.

Expert on rocket propulsion and in-orbit propulsion topics.

Coordinated operations of a rocket propulsion testing laboratory and led the preparation and execution of more than 500 hot-fire tests in 2021.

Planned laboratory work schedules and test campaigns, trained engineers in propulsion testing and safety procedures, and supported the daily execution of experimental work in a high-risk R&D environment.

Coordinated a test crew of approximately 6 people, working with 98%+ hydrogen peroxide and other hazardous media.

Developed and maintained laboratory infrastructure, including high-pressure feeding installations and a hot-gas deflector, and took part in commissioning a new low-pressure test facility. Maintained and developed test documentation and trained new personnel in propulsion testing, safety and engineering design.

Managed a 6-person design team on an urban electric vehicle programme.

Lead developer of the award-winning measurement and control software used in more than 1000 rocket engine tests (LabVIEW, PXI/cRIO real-time systems).

Test engineer on multiple European Space Agency propulsion projects and project leader of an international commercial test campaign.

Designed instrumentation, test infrastructure and quality documentation (CAD, P&ID, GD&T), and designed the flight-proven camera module for the ILR-33 Amber sounding rocket.

Introduced additive manufacturing to the department and ran polymer (FDM) and metal (SLS) part programmes up to 500 mm scale.

Measurement systems and wind tunnel testing of adaptive aerodynamics on a nationally funded project.
