Lead program procurement for NPI, engineering, prototypes and indirect spend. Manage buyers, PR workflows, supplier sourcing and engagement, procurement governance, compliance (FAR/DFARS/DPAS), cross-functional coordination, workload planning, and continuous improvement to ensure program supply continuity and rapid-turn responsiveness.

Design and deliver antenna and phased-array solutions from concept through analysis, optimization, fabrication, testing, qualification, and in-orbit support. Perform full-wave simulations, analytical performance calculations, manufacturability optimization, lab measurements, and produce engineering documentation and design review materials for internal and customer audiences.

Lead EEE parts selection, qualification, standardization, vendor evaluation, failure root-cause analysis, and performance verification for aerospace products. Author parts plans, ECOs, NSPARs, and SCDs. Interface with design, reliability, and quality teams to mitigate risk, manage obsolescence, and support high-reliability component strategies.

Design, implement, verify, and test FPGA-based systems at the HDL level. Work on high-speed serial interfaces, multi-clock domains, digital processing cores, and management interfaces. Perform validation, lab testing with RF and test instruments, and support deployment for aerospace/space hardware.

Lead design and evolution of end-to-end space and ground system architectures for satellites, communications payloads, and supporting software. Translate requirements into architectures, define interfaces, create CONOPS and documentation, perform system-level analysis and trade studies, develop roadmaps, evaluate new capabilities, and support proposals and customer engagements.

Design, develop, port, and maintain embedded Linux applications, device drivers, boot loaders, and Yocto-based images. Integrate and configure Linux kernel and U-Boot, manage Yocto builds in CI/CD, package deployable images, troubleshoot hardware-software interactions, collaborate across teams, and support qualification, testing, and customer-facing design reviews.

Lead end-to-end design and verification of high-reliability space/airborne electronics: architecture, schematic, PCB layout, SI/PI analysis, bring-up, validation, production release, and technical leadership/mentoring.

Develop and scale automated test software and infrastructure to validate RF and satellite communications payloads. Build instrument-control software, test sequences, and reusable automation frameworks; integrate tests across hardware/software, CI/CD, and lab environments; troubleshoot failures; design DUT control and telemetry ingestion; standardize tooling and improve reliability, maintainability, and scalability while collaborating with systems, hardware, and software teams.

Design, analyze, and implement RF test plans and reusable test architectures. Perform RF measurements, automate test procedures, manage lab equipment, present results, and collaborate with cross-functional teams. Support design-for-test activities and contribute to proposals and customer engineering reviews.

Design, implement, and execute board‑level test plans for power, digital, and RF electronics. Develop automated test systems and software (Python/LabVIEW), select equipment, log and analyze data, advise on design‑for‑test, ensure standards compliance, train technicians, and support lab buildout and stakeholder presentations.

Lead design, implementation, and automation of RF test systems for satellite and aerospace communications. Develop test architectures, perform RF measurements, manage lab equipment, present results to stakeholders, and support design-for-test efforts and proposals.
