Adrien Hadj-salah is a founder and aerospace AI expert based in Toulouse with 11+ years turning space mission design from slow, bespoke practice into automated, validated engineering workflows. He led a 15–20 person computer vision team at Airbus Defence and Space building end-to-end AI for autonomous spaceflight and Earth observation, and earlier developed mission planning and optimization algorithms for satellite constellations. At Vecteur he marries domain tools (NASA SPICE, Orekit) with AI to compress concept-to-PDR cycles from months to hours, reflecting a pragmatic focus on engineering velocity and verifiable outputs. His background spans research in deep reinforcement learning for EO planning and hands-on systems work across RF/SIGINT simulation and ground-segment deployments, so he equally speaks the languages of algorithms, simulation, and production engineering. Known for obsessively enabling engineers to design space missions, he combines academic training from ENAC and TU Berlin with founder-level product execution.
