Profile Technical manager on the largest Danish space project to date,
ASIM - an external observatory for the International Space Station, at the industrial prime contractor. I have been the technical authority from the early definitions of the project to the detailed design, manufacturing, and verification phases, as well as coordinator of the engineering integration from sub-contractor levels, up to the ESA, NASA, and SpaceX stakeholder levels. Currently working as sustaining engineer for the on-going mission as well as technical manager in the Terma Star Tracker program. This work has given me experience in working with R&D in an international environment, with highest levels of quality assurance, and stringent process requirements. Experienced user of DOORS, IFS, Matlab, and general programming in C, Java, SQL, VBA, HTML/PHP. Highly skilled in multiple other tools and platforms (e.g. UNIX/Linux, Office, KeyShot, STK).
My career has given me the opportunity to work in many projects with national and international recognition, and stays abroad as stagiaire at the European Space Agency in The Netherlands, and as visiting researcher at Stanford University in the U.S.
