Teams at AscendArc

Lead integrated planning, scheduling, and execution for complex satellite programs. Translate engineering deliverables into realistic schedules, manage dependencies and critical paths, incorporate procurement and manufacturing milestones, identify program risks, and coordinate engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and leadership teams. Maintain schedule baselines, support change control, facilitate milestone reviews, and present schedule status, risks, recovery plans, and required decisions to internal and customer stakeholders.

Own spacecraft power units from requirements through design, supplier management, verification, and acceptance. Design power electronics boards involving switching, protection, current limiting, conversion, interfaces, and fault handling. Perform part selection, schematic capture, worst-case and derating analysis, board bring-up, testing, and debugging. Manage supplier specifications and design reviews, support spacecraft electrical integration, and contribute to power budgets, grounding, EMI/EMC, and system architecture trades for a 15-year GEO mission.

Design and develop RF printed circuit payloads for satellite communications focusing on amplifiers, filters, transmission lines, and PCB-to-waveguide transitions. Build, test, iterate hardware, participate in design reviews, and apply best practices using tools like HFSS and Keysight ADS.
