Setup and maintenance of the CAD platform in use (CREO settings and templates)standardize documents for design and analyses reportsSome projects I contributed:Develop and qualify a Star Tracker Camera including a light baffle. The first prototype is launched into orbit and subjected to a test program.Develop and qualify a sub-CubeSat decoupling mechanism with a low-speed push-off. This mechanism is integrated in the RemoveDebris MicroSat now orbiting the earth.Analyse a 5m radio antenna and roll-up mechanism for a Dutch radio telescope, which is attached on a Chinese satellite now orbiting at the back-side of the moon.
