Summary
Henry Le Berre is a propulsion software engineer with eight years of experience specializing in distributed, hardware-accelerated high-performance computing for fluid dynamics, rocketry, and space systems. Currently at SpaceX, he progressed from intern—where he accelerated the Raptor combustion CFD code by 25% through C++/CUDA kernel optimizations—to Propulsion Software Engineer II, delivering production-ready performance improvements for rocket propulsion simulations. His background includes porting and scaling Fortran/MPI multiphase and reactive flow solvers to leadership-class GPU systems, uncovering compiler offloading bugs for major HPC platforms, and modernizing legacy research codebases with CI and build toolchains. He also designed bare-metal OTA update protocols for an orbital satellite and won a corporate hackathon for creative product integration, demonstrating both low-level systems rigor and rapid prototyping skill. Based in Redondo Beach, CA, Henry blends academic HPC research with hands-on aerospace engineering to turn complex simulation workloads into practical, deployable performance gains.
