Team
"Everybody is lost in space without the right team."
RETHINK SPACE entertains a growing network of space tech specialists, such as:
Prof. Dr. Valentina Sumini (Polytecnico Torino, MIT Media Lab)
Dr. Tommy Nilsson (Fraunhofer FIT / ESA)
Much gratitude to both of you! Our collaboration is a big part of the scientific validation of RETHINK SPACE.
Hereby I thank my long-time partners in crime, my "unofficial adoptive son" Maximilian Weidmann and my Irish wingman Richard Kayser, who are also my co-founders.
3D printing enthusiast Jonas Grünewald supports RETHINK SPACE as a start-up coach. Jonas is also the guy who introduced me into the space tech industry eventually, so forever grateful!
Our head of strategy, Murat Ural, has been shaping our main cooperation strategy - we don´t look for investors, but the right partners - and did an awesome job throughout the re-branding and US flip. Thank you, Murat!
Murat also brought IT and AI specialist Rainer Schulz on board, who implemented this website quick & nice. Excellent work - many thanks, Rainer!
Much gratitude goes out to to Marco Knieling and Emir Sahin, some of my best students who now support our R&D.
RETHINK SPACE aims to stay lean and agile. However, we will grow the team organically.
Suitable positions would be:
- BCI specialist with strong researching experience
- space scientist (ISRU / swarm robotics experience)
