Provides technical direction, defines validation standards, owns the team roadmap, coordinates cross-functional delivery, manages hiring and development, and ensures reliable performance under spacecraft compute, power, and operational constraints.

Leads operations for an off-site aerospace test facility supporting propulsion, fluids, and structures testing. Manages engineers, technicians, staffing, campaigns, safety, regulatory compliance, facility readiness, maintenance, calibration, vendors, and test equipment. Serves as the on-site decision-maker for people, hardware, schedules, risks, and site readiness while coordinating with engineering, quality, and program management teams.

Manages the Avionics and Power Systems Engineering team developing human-rated space station and satellite systems. Responsibilities include hiring and mentoring engineers, defining system architecture and fault management strategies, leading requirements decomposition, FMECA, verification and validation campaigns, configuration control, interface documentation, and integration and test activities. The role also drives technical decisions, milestone documentation, and cross-functional execution for complex aerospace programs.

Build and lead Revel’s events function, developing strategy and roadmaps across conferences, trade shows, customer experiences, recruiting events, brand activations, and internal programs. Own events end to end, including concepts, budgets, vendors, production, promotion, logistics, and onsite execution. Translate technical products into compelling experiences, establish scalable processes, measure performance, and collaborate with marketing, sales, design, recruiting, product, executives, and external partners. Travel and after-hours work are required as events demand.

Design and develop RF and digital satellite communications systems, implement and verify multi-rate fixed-point signal processing algorithms, perform performance analysis and waveform development, conduct trade studies, support integration, test and HDL-level design/verification of payloads and spacecraft, and carry out detailed system design and verification activities.

Own Outpost’s earned media and editorial function, including proactive pitching, press operations, messaging, press materials, executive communications, social content, campaigns, and event support. Translate complex aerospace and deep-tech programs into compelling narratives for media, customers, investors, and government stakeholders. Track communications performance, support major company milestones, and collaborate with leadership, engineering, operations, and marketing.

Lead the development of statistical and machine learning models for time-series and geospatial data. Build analytic solutions, datasets, ETL workflows, forecasting and anomaly-detection models, simulations, visualizations, and reports. Evaluate algorithm performance, optimize classifiers, document processes, and collaborate with engineers, analysts, mission partners, and stakeholders to deliver reliable mission-focused software and data capabilities.

Provide mid-level regulatory and transactional legal support: prepare and manage legal/regulatory documents, file licensing applications, organize records, assist closings, coordinate with business teams, and use AI and project management tools to streamline workflows.

Leads enterprise software architecture across Red 6’s AR defense products and future platforms. Defines architecture roadmaps, governance, engineering standards, modernization initiatives, and secure cloud, edge, embedded, real-time, AI/ML, simulation, and mission software architectures. Partners with engineering, product, systems, program, and executive teams; guides integrated hardware/software systems, aircraft and avionics integration, digital engineering, risk mitigation, customer engagements, staffing, and mentorship. Ensures scalable, secure, reliable, maintainable, and mission-ready software ecosystems.
