Jędrzej works on thrust vector control systems for sounding rockets at SpaceForest, where sophisticated math, challenging engineering, and rigorous software practices collide at launch. His path started in experimental physics at Poznań University of Technology — atomic clocks, ion traps, FPGAs — and led through software engineering to rockets.
He's been through the full arc — from successful flights to in-flight failures — and has the flight data and post-mortem analysis to prove it. But the biggest lesson wasn't in the code or the control loops. It was that even the best engineering can't outrun communication problems — Conway's Law isn't just theory when your rocket is heading off course.
