Marwan Mousli

I am a results-driven Space Systems Engineer with over 3 years of experience in satellite mission design, systems integration, and model-based systems engineering (MBSE). I specialize in developing end-to-end spacecraft solutions, from requirements analysis to subsystem validation, with a strong focus on communication, thermal, and payload systems. Skilled in tools like Innoslate and MATLAB, I bring a rigorous, detail-oriented approach to solving complex aerospace challenges and ensuring mission success.

I have led and contributed to diverse projects in space systems engineering and aerospace across both academia and industry. Most notably, I am leading the FireSAT Nova project, a wildfire-detection LEO satellite concept where I developed subsystem-level requirements (EPS, Propulsion, AOCS, Comms, TCS, CDH, Structure, Harness, etc.), applied MBSE methodologies in Innoslate, and prepared research deliverables accepted for MBSECON 2025 and the 76th International Astronautical Congress.

Previously, I interned at Enata Aerospace, gaining hands-on exposure to aerospace systems integration, and contributed to Skyvertise, where I supported satellite design and operational planning. I also worked on a SCARA Robot with a Digital Twin for my capstone, strengthening my modeling and simulation skills, and served as a Physics Lab Assistant, where I reinforced my technical fundamentals through experimental instruction and lab support.

Through these experiences, I have built strong expertise in systems engineering practices, MBSE tools, SysML, STK, and MATLAB/Simulink, with proven ability to analyze requirements, manage risks, and design operational scenarios for complex systems.

I hold a Master of Engineering in Space Systems Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology, where I graduated with a 3.97 GPA. My coursework and projects focused on spacecraft systems design, lifecycle management, and MBSE methodologies. During my master’s, I also earned my INCOSE ASEP certification, demonstrating my commitment to systems engineering standards and best practices.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering from Rochester Institute of Technology. This gave me a solid technical foundation in aerospace systems, propulsion, thermodynamics, and controls, supported by extensive project-based and laboratory learning.
