Paiload is a partnership of engineers who have spent most of their careers pioneering data-to-product pipelines for scientific space missions — building payloads, processing data, and delivering operational products. Between them, Dallas and Linus have shipped operational products for NASA, NOAA, EUMETSAT, and ESA, across more than 60 satellites currently in operation.
Previously VP, Signals of Opportunity at Muon Space and Director of Earth Observations / GNSS at Spire Global, where he led the commercial GNSS radio occultation (GNSS-RO) and reflectometry (GNSS-R) programs from first payloads through commercial operational product deliveries to NASA, NOAA, EUMETSAT, and ESA. PhD in Aerospace Engineering Sciences from the University of Colorado Boulder.
Seven years at Spire Global as Lead Payload Software Engineer, leading a team to build and operate the on-orbit payload software underlying scientific GNSS missions for NASA, NOAA, and EUMETSAT — the code that turns raw RF samples into the agencies' data products. Most recently contracted with Muon Space, where he developed the software and algorithms for their GNSS-R receiver.
