Director, Spacecraft Integration & Testing
Saudi Space Agency
Leading the teams that put satellites in space. Building Saudi Arabia's sovereign space engineering capability.
My career spans the full lifecycle of space missions — from early concurrent design and systems engineering through hardware integration, environmental testing, launch, and operations. I've worked in Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, and Saudi Arabia, contributing to missions ranging from CubeSats to deep-space rovers.
Leading the Spacecraft Integration & Testing directorate at SSA. Responsible for end-to-end satellite AIT, verification, and mission readiness across agency programmes. Managing a multidisciplinary team and building long-term in-country engineering capability aligned with Saudi Vision 2030.
Systems Engineering Lead for multiple CubeSat missions in development. Led concurrent design sessions in the agency's CDF. Managed specialists across systems, mechanical, electrical, AIT/AIV, and mission design. Moderated the closing panel of the International Space Debris Conference 2024 (ITU/UNOOSA partners).
Project Manager for the CubeDrive product line. Assistant PM for a large SatDrive system (5000 Ns+) for a lunar mission programme. Maintained technical involvement in product development and systems engineering.
