Meet the Visionaries

Lukas is studying mechanical engineering at the University of Calgary and has been developing rocket propulsion systems for SOAR for over 5 years and led the development of Dracarys I, the most powerful hybrid rocket motor ever flown, in Alberta.

After 3 years with SOAR and 24 months of aerospace and research internship experience, Jayden is ready to design, integrate, and test systems for data acquisition and analysis, communication, controls, and much more.

With 2 years of avionics experience on SOAR, Jesse has developed flight and safety-critical software, excelling in embedded systems, communication, and GUI programming, ensuring performance and reliability.

With 9 years of experience in the pipeline construction industry, AJ brings a strong background in large-scale infrastructure projects where precision, safety, and teamwork are key. During his year with SOAR airframe, he has further developed his passion for engineering challenges, contributing to advanced systems and collaborative solutions.

With a 16-month engineering internship under his belt, Rimoon has experienced everything from safety regulation revision, embedded programming, to modelling and drafting parts for impressively large assemblies geared toward an in-house production line.

Wade has a background in aircraft mechanics and research experience in the AERO-CORE Lab at the University of Calgary. A 12-month internship focused on aircraft structural design and airworthiness certification, provided him with a solid understanding of aerospace engineering.

Ethan is studying software and aerospace engineering at the University of Calgary. During his 2 years at SOAR and 1 year at Garmin he designed and implemented the ground system used by SOAR with a focus on safety along with computational efficiency and security.
