Lead development effort for key components of propulsion subsystem, providing technical guidance to internal engineers as well as external suppliers, while ensuring technical, schedule and cost objectives of the hardware are met
Develop, track and present technical performance metrics
Help perform risk assessment and develop mitigation strategies for complex projects
Execute system integration and engineering test efforts of propulsion systems
Develops or champions new systems, concepts, or technologies.
Responsible for improving upon existing Systems Engineering processes
System design synthesis of complex electronic systems to include processes and interfaces in testing
Perform trade studies on a variety of systems and components
Perform design verification testing efforts including lab, chamber, ground and flight test
Analyze data from design verification test efforts
Develop and run simulations and other analysis tools to predict system performance in various environments
Present results during internal and external program meetings
