Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHarald لاوكس is a spacecraft systems engineer and leader with eight years of experience building and managing teams that design, integrate, and test satellites—from CubeSats to larger mission-class systems. Currently Director in Spacecraft Integration and Testing at the Saudi Space Agency, he combines hands-on AIT expertise with systems engineering leadership developed at ISISPACE, DLR, and propulsion work at Dawn Aerospace. He has led AIT for ESA and quantum communications missions, contributed to lunar and Phobos mission hardware testing, and championed civil space industry initiatives in Saudi Arabia. Harald also brings software and systems thinking from freelance development projects, having designed serverless architectures and secure code repositories for hundreds of projects. He’s active in the space community—moderating panels on space debris and shaping conference programming—and is comfortable translating complex thermal, mechanical, and propulsion requirements into verifiable test campaigns. Notably, his background blends rover locomotion thermal testing and CubeSat propulsion program management, giving him rare breadth across planetary, small-sat, and propulsion domains.
