  • Ingineer

    2018 - 2022

    Radiofizica

    Moscow

    Worked on the design and prototyping of phased array and maritime VSAT antenna systems. Started as a laboratory assistant producing small mechanical parts and modules, later promoted to mechanical engineer. Participated in the development of a marine satellite antenna prototype, collaborating with mechanical and electronic engineers through all design stages. Proposed and developed a three-axis rotation and stabilization unit, which became a key component of the final prototype.
