Didier graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace (Sup’Aéro) in 1983 and began his career as Head of the Mechanics Laboratory at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Ingénieurs de Constructions Aéronautiques (ENSICA). During this period, he was also involved in the teaching of these two schools.
He decided to join the space sector in 1989, taking charge successively of mechanical modelling and analysis and mechanical and thermal architecture for various satellites such as SPOT 4, STENTOR…
In 1994, he founded MECANO ID which he has since developed through organic growth.
Today, he gave the compagny general management reins to Adrien MIR, but continues to be MECANO ID President.
Nathalie has had the pleasure of working for the space industry for 20 years. Certified engineer by the CNIPF for her work on dimensional metrology, Quality Manager and then Project Manager in SMEs and in a large group, she joined MECANO ID 2 years ago where she manages the QMS and Product Assurance with a “field and concrete” approach.
Adrien manages the company’s departments: from engineering to production.
Passionate about the space industry, this Gadz’Arts (ENSAM Bo206) joined MECANO in 2010. He has held various positions: mechanical analysis engineer, test engineer, tender response manager. In 2019, he became the Operations Manager. As such, he defines and manages the industrial policy that meets the company’s challenges.
In 2024, he became General Manager.
Laurent holds an engineering degree from ENSMA and a postgraduate diploma in business management from the IAE in Aix en Provence. He began his career in 2001 as a satellite thermal engineer, then joined MECANO ID in 2008 to carry out mechanical and thermal architecture activities for projects in the space sector.
Laurent and his team in the Project Management department are responsible for organising projects involving several of MECANO ID’s internal trades (design, mechanical/thermal analysis, composite production, environmental testing) or external partners (machining, component supply). Its objective is to guarantee the execution of the project in compliance with technical requirements, quality, deadlines and costs, with the aim of a constructive and transparent exchange between all the players.
