What We Stand For

Mission

To create engineering solutions that make the complex feel like magic, do good for Earth, and enable humanity’s future in space.

Vision

We envision a world where technology bridges imagination and reality - where engineering transforms impossible ideas into intuitive, impactful solutions. From advancing life on Earth to enabling humanity’s journey into space, we’re driven by the belief that innovation must serve both people and the planet. Our commitment to integrity, sustainability, and collaboration guides us as we create tools that empower the present and unlock the future. Together, we’re building a legacy of progress that inspires others to dream boldly and act purposefully.

Our Nine Principles.

I: The team comes first.

Every member of our team brings something special to the table - whether it’s the janitor or the CEO. We celebrate the unique journeys and experiences that lead people to Pample Industries because they shape who we are and what we can achieve together. At the end of the day, we’re stronger because we lift each other up and work as a team.

II: Do what’s right, not what’s easy.

We blaze trails with compassion and discipline, always guided by what we believe is right. Staying true to our values is more important than cutting corners or making compromises for a quick gain. And when we realize something isn’t working, we don’t shy away from rethinking and adjusting our path. Integrity is our compass - it keeps us aligned, no matter how challenging the journey.

III: Honest conversations, always.

Big change starts with being real - first with ourselves and then with each other. Great teams are built on trust and open communication, which means no gatekeeping and no avoiding tough conversations. Sharing knowledge and ideas ensures everyone is on the same page, and that every voice is heard, respected, and acknowledged. This is how we grow stronger together.

IV: Work smarter, not harder.

We measure success by the impact of our work, not by how long we grind away at it. Efficiency means focusing on meaningful outcomes, whether that’s quick wins or long-term goals that drive sustainable growth. By working smarter, we give ourselves space to innovate, recharge, and ultimately deliver better results.

V: Freedom to do great work.

Excellence deserves more than just a pat on the back - it deserves opportunity. When someone does amazing work, they’ve earned the freedom to choose projects that inspire, challenge, and help them grow. We believe in fostering both passion and growth, ensuring that everyone can sharpen their skills, explore new ideas, and reach their potential. By avoiding overload and encouraging personal development, we keep our team engaged, motivated, and ready to tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow.

VI: Build the magic.

Our goal is to create products that feel like magic - so simple and seamless to use, yet incredibly powerful under the hood. We turn bold, imaginative ideas into tools and technologies that make complex tasks feel effortless. It’s not just about solving problems; it’s about sparking wonder and making the impossible feel possible.

VII: Share good ideas.

Not every great idea fits on our roadmap, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist. When we see potential in something outside our focus, we’re eager to share it with people who can bring it to life. Whether it’s someone within our team or an entrepreneur on the outside, we believe innovation is about impact, not control. We’re here to help great ideas make a difference in the world.

VIII: Color outside the lines.

We don’t believe in boundaries when it comes to creativity and innovation. By exploring ideas from different fields - even ones that seem totally unrelated - we unlock new possibilities. The most exciting breakthroughs often come from connecting things that don’t usually go together. That’s why we stay curious, keep learning, and embrace the unexpected.

IX: Navigate the journey.

We’re not afraid to stumble or take the long way around - as long as we’re learning and moving forward with purpose. Progress is rarely a straight line, but every step - whether a challenge or a success - is part of the process. We take time to reflect on where we’ve been, celebrating wins big and small, and drawing lessons from our experiences. Balancing hard work with moments of recovery and introspection helps us stay creative and adaptable. The road ahead may be winding, but by embracing what we’ve learned, staying present, and looking forward, we trust it will lead us to something great.

Meet the Team.

Michael Preudhomme, Founder & CEO

Michael recently started Pample Industries after serving at the NASA-JPL for nearly a decade. At JPL, he was responsible for overseeing the design, development, and delivery of the Mars Sample Retrieval Lander Engines. In addition, he has experience with airborne testing of hyperspectrometers from his time at JPL. Prior to creating Pample Industries, Michael also served as the Director of Engineering at Mandala Space Ventures, where he got first hand experience in commercializing dual-use technologies. Michael obtained his MS in Materials Science & Engineering from Stanford, his MBA from the University of Miami, and his BS in Astronautical Engineering as well as a BA in Chemistry from the University of Southern California (USC).

Eugene Choi,

Head of Strategy

Eugene has gathered diverse engineering experience, including working at Northrop Grumman to work on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Next Gen Polar (NGP) OPIR program. Eugene worked at Mandala Space Ventures, writing decision-making algorithms to detect hypersonic objects from space using visible and infrared techniques. Throughout his studies, at the University of Southern California (USC), Eugene worked in the Space Engineering Research Center’s (SERC) on Soft Translatable Advanced Robot For In-Space Handling (STARFISH) in a software and controls role, and on the USC Rocket Propulsion Laboratory (USCRPL) team by building the composite body of the Poise rocket launched in 2020.

Jonathan Morris,

Head of Engineering

Jonathan is a Lead Engineer at Pample Industries, working on the development of robotic platforms and their electronic payloads. He also works as a High Performance Computing Specialist for UCLA’s Department of Planetary Sciences, where his cluster is being used to process Thermal Infrared data from LRO Diviner, and Ground-Penetrating Radar data from RIMFAX on Mars 2020. During his time at Mandala Space Ventures, he specialized in the disciplines of Electronic System Design and High-Performance Computing. Additionally, Jonathan has served in multiple technical leadership positions within Rocket Project at UCLA and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at UCLA, all while pursuing his Bachelor's Degree of Aerospace Engineering at the university.

Marie-Tyson,

Head of Morale

Marie-Tyson is our resident morale booster and tactical nap expert, always on the front lines of joy and team spirit. Her dual-use capabilities include commercial-grade charm and defense-level vigilance, especially against rogue squirrels and delivery trucks. With a nose for collaboration and a tail that’s always in motion, she ensures our team stays grounded while reaching for the stars. When she's not supervising snack allocation, Marie-Tyson demonstrates precision lounging techniques, proving that even the hardest-working teams need moments of strategic downtime. She's a reminder that innovation is better with a little wag in your day.
