Summary
Brandon Blake is a Modelling and Simulation Engineer with 12 years' experience applying aerospace, mechanical and theoretical physics training to complex systems modelling at BAE Systems Australia. Holding an honours Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical & Aerospace) alongside a BSc in Theoretical Physics and training at the International Space University, he focuses on orbital manufacturing, habitation and automation with a strong hands-on interest in robotics and mechanical design. He is proficient in low-level and systems languages—C and Golang foremost—and has production experience across C++, MATLAB, Fortran, Rust, Java and web technologies. His background spans avionics, mechanical design and aeronautical analysis from roles at Simbiant to defence-focused simulation work, bridging simulation fidelity with engineering pragmatism. Colleagues value his ability to translate theoretical physics into pragmatic simulation tools and his curiosity for emerging space architecture concepts. Based in Adelaide, he combines discipline from aerospace engineering with a developer’s versatility to tackle automation and habitat systems from concept through implementation.
