Satellite systems engineer with experience in full lifecycle development for product line spacecraft, requirements development for human rated spacecraft, on-station bus operations for geosynchronous communication satellites, spacecraft test development and verification, government contracting and acquisition, and technical program management. I can be contacted by email at [email protected] or through this profile.
Support systems test development of the Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO) program, a lunar orbiting habitation module. This includes: • Serve as the Deputy Technical Lead of the HALO Systems-Test team to develop systems level verification tests, author technical RFI/RFP responses, manage overall work scope, and oversee a team of 10 engineers • Develop and execute a systems test design process, to ensure the systems test campaign is complete, safe, and adequate to verify existing requirements and prove spacecraft functionality • Manage risks related to systems testing by evaluating risk likelihood and consequences, and proposing mitigation steps to the Risk Review Board Support systems development and integration efforts of commercial GEOStar-3 satellites through the full product lifecycle. This includes: • Author systems level engineering documentation with the goal of capturing the designed/built performance and configuration of the satellites. This includes the Mass/Power/Propellant/Pointing budgets, Satellite System Summary, and various Design Notes • Lead the development of the spacecraft telemetry and commanding database to be used throughout the test campaign and on-orbit mission • Manage a successful systems test and integration campaign, including Integrated Satellite Testing and Environmental Testing, in order to ensure all spacecraft functions operate nominally Support the technical requirements development of the Commercial Destination Free Flyer (CDFF) program, an ISS replacement proposal, as a part of the Requirements, Verification, and Integration team. This includes: • Serve as the Electrical Power Subsystem (EPS), Communications Subsystem (Comms), Logistics, and Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) RVI point of contact, and manage the subsystem engineers in developing requirements from high mission level requirements, through to detailed subsystem requirements
Serve in the Project Management Directorate (PMD) at the Office of Space Weather Observations (SWO), a joint NASA/NOAA office, as the Mission Operations Services (MOS) Manager in the Space Weather Ground Services (SWGS) team. Responsibilities include: • Lead the technical documentation development for an upcoming government procurement and request for proposal (RFP) of a mission operations element in an enterprise satellite ground system. This includes Technical Requirements documents, Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL), Statements of Work (SoW), Quality Assurance Surveillance Plans (QASP), Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), and Concepts of Operations (ConOps) • Perform market research and prepare Requests for Information (RFI) for industry capabilities in providing space weather instrumentation for projects in the formulation stage at SWO • Manage the MOS Element Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), ensuring key tasks and milestones are identified and tracked for efficient project execution • Federal Acquisition Certification for Contracting Officer’s Representatives (FAC-COR) Level I certified
Served as a Satellite Bus Engineer in overseeing a fleet of 19 Boeing 702HP/702MP communication satellites in collaboration with a team of 7 other engineers. Tasks included: • Develop, test, and validate recommended automated procedure scripts in the Satellite Procedure Execution Language & Library (SPELL), to be used with Intelsat and 3rd party ground systems • Identify, track, and trend key spacecraft parameters and telemetry in order to identify anomalies as soon as possible, and verify nominal spacecraft operations • Propose strategies and ideas aimed at optimizing and streamlining spacecraft operations, with the goal of minimizing risk and potential operational errors • Diagnose and recover from anomalous events that occur with any of the spacecrafts, utilizing manufacturer recommended operating procedures, and ensure the safety of the satellite while minimizing payload outage
Participated as a summer intern in the Prototype Development Lab at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. In this position, I was able to contribute with the following: • Develop and help build working scale prototypes using Creo Parametric in order to test them for manufacturability, feasibility, and effectiveness • Helping design and conduct tests in order to verify Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software analysis of water nozzles to be used on rocket launch pads • Assisting Mechanical Design Engineers in creating 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) models and 2D blueprints of various projects brought to the lab by customers across the facility, with the goal of manufacturing early prototypes and proof of concepts
I participated in a high school internship program at Boeing, Huntington Beach. During my internship, I supported the Industrial Engineering Department by: • Assist the 3D printing lab with day to day activities, including monitoring, preparing, and troubleshooting the 3D printers for rapid prototyping • Perform trade studies and cost benefit analysis of the purchase of a new 6-Axis CNC Machine • Develop and present a report recommending a new manufacturing area floor plan for newly purchased shop equipment
