Collaborate with DSP, RF, antenna, verification, and architecture teams to validate satellite communications hardware and scaled beamforming datapaths.

Leads technical project management for RF component development supporting lunar landers. Responsibilities include managing technical, cost, schedule, risk, requirements, procurement, supplier relationships, product roadmaps, program reviews, operating metrics, and engineering deliverables. The role coordinates RF Systems teams, IPTs, vendors, NASA, and external partners while supporting Agile planning, hardware development, testing, qualification, manufacturing, and delivery.

Design, develop, test, and integrate distributed software for global ground station operations. Build APIs, dashboards, workflow automation, monitoring, and secure interfaces for telemetry, tracking, command, and payload data systems. Conduct post-mission analytics, integrate third-party stations and customer systems, and collaborate with software, networking, and RF/DSP engineering teams to deliver reliable mission-critical infrastructure.

Designs, develops, manufactures, integrates, and tests rocket fluid systems and components, including pressurization, pneumatics, and reaction control systems. Responsibilities include thermo-fluid modeling, structural analysis, CAD and FEA, requirements definition, qualification testing, supplier and production coordination, hardware troubleshooting, and technical documentation. The role supports the GS2-4E heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle and requires expertise in cryogenic, high-pressure aerospace hardware.

Own the strategy, roadmap, delivery, and continuous improvement of software products supporting aerospace manufacturing and engineering configuration management. Engage internal customers, define requirements and metrics, prioritize features, lead cross-functional teams, influence technical architecture, drive adoption, and use SQL and AI to support data-driven decisions and rapid prototyping.

Leads supplier and production inspections for PCB assemblies, electronics, and solar arrays. Develops inspection standards, work instructions, and acceptance criteria; performs first article, in-process, and final inspections; identifies and dispositions nonconformances; supports RCCA, design reviews, supplier audits, quality-system compliance, technician training, and continuous improvement. Requires up to 50% travel to supplier and production sites.

Lead continuous improvement, root cause analysis, corrective action, and Kaizen activities across aerospace production. Coach teams, define process-performance metrics, support Corrective Action Board meetings, participate in design reviews, provide quality assurance expertise, address customer quality concerns, and develop training. The role requires applying Lean, Six Sigma, statistical process control, quality management systems, and data visualization to improve safety, quality, reliability, manufacturability, and efficiency.

Manage complex aerospace projects from concept through delivery by establishing project plans, schedules, budgets, metrics, governance, and reporting. Coordinate engineering, facilities, supply chain, finance, quality, and geographically dispersed teams. Track critical paths, configuration baselines, risks, interfaces, testing, and recovery plans. Lead reviews, support supplier coordination, and apply AI-enabled tools to improve planning and execution.

Program and operate CNC mills, lathes, multi-axis machines, and VTLs to produce flight-critical hardware. Develop machining strategies, manufacturing plans, CAM programs, setup sheets, tooling, fixtures, feeds, speeds, and cutter selections.
