Maëlle Branco is an avionics and embedded systems engineer with 12 years’ experience designing and delivering safety-critical systems for UAVs, optionally piloted aircraft and small satellite propulsion. Trained at INSA Lyon, Dublin City University and ISAE-Supaéro, she blends deep electronics and aeronautical expertise with hands-on software and systems design. Her career spans startups and fast-growing aerospace companies across Europe, South America and New Zealand, where she led system design, software development and team delivery for flight-critical retrofits and simulators. At Dawn Aerospace she moved from electrical and software engineering into systems engineering, showing an ability to scale technical scope as projects mature. Now based in Bordeaux and working as a freelance while leading accounts at SOLENT, she’s actively seeking opportunities in the French new-space ecosystem. A practical systems thinker, she often pairs low-level embedded work with higher-level system architecture—bridging prototype inertia to operational readiness.
