Develop and run test plans, calibration scripts, and data-processing tools. Work cross-functionally with EE/ME/SW on electrical interfaces, mounting, thermal/vibration, and software drivers. Debug hardware–firmware–software issues, document trade studies and integration requirements, and support production and occasional travel.

Design and implement full‑stack, low‑latency web-based Ground Control Station and C2 systems (map-centric UIs, real-time telemetry, video streaming), lead architecture and APIs, mentor engineers, support field tests and mission deployments, and ensure interoperability with C2 standards.

Lead full-stack mission engineering: design, build, deploy, and integrate secure software for DoD/IC missions. Lead engineering teams, collaborate with military/government users, prototype MVPs, perform field deployment and testing, and deliver high-performance, user-focused interfaces.

Work as an SRE embedded with product teams to improve reliability by fixing application code (primarily TypeScript), building observability (Prometheus, Loki, Grafana, Alloy), defining SLIs/SLOs, leading incident response and postmortems, automating toil, and supporting deployments across on‑prem DoD and AWS environments.

Build and operate ingestion and reconciliation pipelines that match card-network and partner reports against internal transactions. Develop reporting products, produce standardized journals for accounting, support tax and regulatory filing systems, handle sensitive PII for compliance, debug production issues, and collaborate with finance, product, and data teams to automate and scale reconciliation and reporting.

Lead architecture, design, and delivery of PET product features; write production full‑stack code; champion testing, observability, CI/CD and operational readiness; mentor engineers and collaborate with product to shape technical roadmap.

Design, build, test, and maintain enterprise integrations and automations across procurement, finance, and supply chain systems using MuleSoft and Zip iPaaS. Develop Python tools, write and optimize SQL, collaborate with stakeholders, ensure scalability and security, monitor production integrations, and contribute to documentation and DevOps practices.

Update and optimize character body and facial rigs for NBA 2K, improving deformation and anatomical accuracy. Create mathematical node networks, blendshapes, corrective shapes, skeleton setups, and skinweight maps. Develop Python automation and procedural tools, debug rigging errors, and collaborate with technical artists, engineers, and art departments. Contribute to documentation, workflows, and scalable pipeline improvements.

Own the technical lifecycle and operational health of Runpod’s global high-density GPU fleet. Responsibilities include hardware validation and benchmarking, fleet monitoring, SLA and downtime auditing, network and systems troubleshooting, incident coordination, partner technical support, AI-assisted operational automation, and infrastructure tooling.
