Daniel Wardle is the Manager of the Software Engineering team at Inovor Technologies, where he has contributed for over six years. Starting with Inovor Technologies’ first satellite contract, Daniel has been instrumental in guiding the company's growth through each phase—from design, build, and testing to the current satellite operational in orbit.
Within his role, Daniel oversees the high-level software design for spacecraft systems, supporting his team in developing robust solutions. Additionally, he also served as the project lead for the SpIRIT satellite (the first ever Australian Space Agency funded satellite), a role that has evolved from defining mission requirements through to leading platform operations and commissioning.
