About GRELLAND ROY

Roy Grelland serves as Vice President, Aerospace & Medical at MEMSCAP, a listed French technology company specializing in high-precision MEMS-based sensors and related solutions. MEMSCAP’s corporate materials indicate that he has been with the group since 2007 and has held increasing responsibilities over time before taking the lead of this business line, which he has managed since late 2014. His profile combines an engineering background with hands-on experience in sensor technologies, production testing, operations, and commercial development. He earned a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in 1993. He began his career at SensoNor in January 1994 as a development engineer, primarily focused on test equipment for high-volume MEMS sensor production. He later held several positions there, including Sales and Marketing Director and program manager for automotive tire-pressure sensors. From 2005 to 2007, he broadened his experience at Hydrogen Technologies, where he worked in sales and marketing for renewable-energy electrolysis plants. When he joined MEMSCAP in 2007 as Technical Director, he became part of the company’s long-term management bench and later moved into operational roles before assuming leadership of the Aerospace & Medical division. This position is highly significant for MEMSCAP because aerospace, defense, and medical applications demand extreme levels of precision, reliability, and long-term stability. In company communications, Grelland also appears as a regular spokesperson on development programs and industrial partnerships, especially in medical applications, which suggests a role that is not purely technical but also strategic and market-facing. Overall, his career reflects the profile of an experienced industrial executive: strong technical credentials, deep familiarity with MEMS manufacturing and testing, commercial exposure, and the ability to support growth in high-barrier, high-value markets.
