Teams at Dawn Aerospace

Lead Dawn Aerospace’s transition from prototype-focused R&D to scalable serial production of reusable spaceplanes. Develop production strategy, operating models, manufacturing processes, readiness criteria, planning and scheduling systems, documentation standards, and continuous improvement initiatives. Partner with engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and leadership to improve manufacturability, remove bottlenecks, strengthen supplier readiness, and establish repeatable, data-driven production systems supporting multiple spaceplanes annually.

Develop an embedded Linux communication device to link propulsion systems with networked data infrastructure. Implement CAN and serial interfaces, integrate with testing tooling, and verify user experience during AIT. Collaborate with software, electrical, and propulsion engineers and support hands-on operation of propulsion hardware.

Lead design, integration, testing, and lifecycle management of RF hardware for UHF through Ka-band. Manage in-house and third-party ground station operations, perform RF testing/EMI characterization, conduct link budget and interference analyses, and ensure spectrum compliance including ITU filings and regulatory coordination.
