Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobin Petitdemange is a Senior Software Engineer with 8 years of experience applying aerospace engineering rigor to production software, currently building mission planning and flight-dynamics capabilities at Loft Orbital. Trained at ISAE-SUPAERO and Stanford (MSc Aeronautics and Astronautics), he bridges orbital mechanics research—trajectory design and formation-flying near Sun–Earth Lagrange points—with back-end microservices and geospatial processing for satellite tasking. He has driven web-based mission control features including simulation, scheduling optimization, and imagery tasking across multiple Loft missions (YAM-2/3/5/7, YAC-1). Comfortable throughout the stack, he focuses on reliable, testable flight-dynamics services and operational automation rather than flashy front-ends. Based in Nancy, France, he blends academic depth and hands-on satellite ops experience to turn complex space-mission requirements into deployable systems. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic solutions that respect both software engineering best practices and orbital constraints.
