Summary
Stefan Van Der Linden is a systems engineer with 10 years of hands-on experience designing and leading complex aerospace projects, from optical satellite communications to GNSS receiver validation and microsatellite missions. He blends system engineering rigor with practical skills in digital signal analysis, embedded systems and software development, and is comfortable as technical lead and customer-facing point of contact. Stefan has led multi-disciplinary teams and managed international subcontractors, delivering high-accuracy RF measurement systems and end-to-end validation suites for EGNOS/Galileo ground stations. His background spans the full project lifecycle—including integration, testing and spacecraft operations—giving him rare operational insight into both flight hardware and signal-level analytics. Based in the Randstad, he pairs creativity with structured engineering, often translating novel signal-processing approaches into robust avionics and communications designs. A detail others might miss: his career combines formal aerospace education from TU Delft with business development and team leadership experience, letting him bridge technical depth and program delivery.
