Teams at Impulse Space

Owns spacecraft navigation and state-estimation systems across development and operations. Designs and validates Kalman filters, sensor and measurement models, orbit and attitude determination, astrodynamic analyses, covariance studies, and navigation error budgets. Implements C++ flight software, supports SIL/HIL testing, conducts Monte Carlo analyses, generates verification data, and provides real-time operations and anomaly response support for missions in LEO, GEO, and cislunar space.

Leads the Mission Design and Flight Dynamics team, owning technical direction, hiring, mission analysis, trajectory optimization, navigation architectures, orbit determination, maneuver planning, flight dynamics operations, automation, customer proposals, and regulatory support across LEO, GEO, cislunar, and interplanetary missions.

Own spacecraft-level autonomous behavior across all mission phases, including autonomy architecture, fault management, safing, recovery logic, mode transitions, and decision boundaries. Coordinate autonomy across flight software, GNC, avionics, and ground systems; define interfaces; configure mission automations; and drive system-level verification using SIL, HIL, and mission simulations. Support integration, testing, and mission operations for safety-critical spacecraft systems.
