Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAurélien Roy is a flight control and propulsion engineering leader with 11 years of experience designing and shipping UAV autopilots, sensor fusion, and control systems from prototype to production. Currently managing a 7–9 engineer team at Parrot, he splits his time between technical delivery—motor saturation mitigation, production quality analytics, and fast prototyping—and people leadership, including recruitment and training of many recent graduates. His background blends aeronautics and computer science (Supélec, ESTACA, Purdue) and spans hands-on MATLAB/C++ algorithm development, real-flight validation, and system-level coordination with CEOs and cross-functional teams. He co-founded an indoor autonomous UAV startup and built a software-in-the-loop simulator used for control experiments, evidencing both entrepreneurial drive and practical experimentation. Notably, he has repeatedly improved estimation and robustness in real-world conditions (e.g., Kalman filter hardening, echo-resistant ultrasound processing), making complex academic techniques reliably flight-ready.
