Teams at Loft Orbital

Develop backend services and software libraries for a satellite mission-planning platform. Design scalable systems and APIs, optimize multi-objective scheduling and capacity allocation, build tools for operators and sales, and support the pipeline from customer tasking plans to spacecraft execution. Collaborate across teams while solving complex performance, distributed systems, and mathematical optimization problems.

Leads and mentors a cloud infrastructure team responsible for multi-cloud satellite ground systems. Sets infrastructure strategy, oversees AWS/GCP/Azure environments, drives DevOps and SRE practices, and ensures reliability, scalability, security, observability, automation, disaster recovery, and cost efficiency. Manages Agile ceremonies, infrastructure projects, incident processes, and cross-functional collaboration with engineering, security, satellite operations, and mission teams.

Develop and improve flight dynamics algorithms for orbit determination, propagation, maneuver planning, conjunction assessment, collision avoidance, and attitude modeling. Build and maintain backend software supporting satellite ephemerides, maneuvers, conjunctions, and target orbits. Collaborate with systems and mission engineers to translate requirements into operational outcomes, and support satellite operations during launch, anomalies, and conjunction responses.
