Onboard Computer Lead Engineer
UNSW Austronauts · 2026–present
I lead a five-person undergraduate team developing the onboard computing subsystem for a 3U CubeSat. My work spans subsystem requirements, hardware interfaces and integration with the satellite’s power, communications, attitude control, payload and mission control teams.
We develop embedded software in C and FreeRTOS for the MSP430FR5994-based Eddie onboard computer, covering command and data handling, packet communication, fault handling and watchdog behaviour.
