Designs, integrates, and verifies autonomous sensing and navigation systems for spacecraft rendezvous, proximity operations, and space situational awareness. Responsibilities include requirements engineering, autonomy architecture, navigation and estimation, sensor fusion, hardware-software prototype integration, interface definition, and end-to-end verification. The role involves model-, software-, and processor-in-the-loop testing, traceability, technical coordination with European space and defense stakeholders, and presentation of system performance and verification results.

Develop computer vision and autonomy solutions for spacecraft rendezvous, proximity operations, and space situational awareness. Responsibilities include creating navigation, detection, tracking, segmentation, and pose-estimation algorithms; building simulations and synthetic-data pipelines; selecting and integrating imaging hardware; conducting laboratory and field testing; and verifying subsystems through model-, software-, and processor-in-the-loop testing. The role also involves requirements traceability, data interoperability, and presenting technical results to customers and European space and defense organizations.

Lead strategic sourcing, vendor selection, contract negotiation, and supplier performance for space systems. Drive cost optimization, manage RFP/RFI processes and contract change notices, mitigate supply-chain risks, and deliver procurement analytics and supplier development to support mission-critical projects.
