Build test equipment, derive test requirements with hardware and software teams, create procedures, and integrate/operate test rack hardware and software for component- and system-level qualification and acceptance testing.

Lead design and build of an AI-powered, spec-driven development platform: evaluate frameworks, architect end-to-end tooling, integrate with CI/CD and Kubernetes, partner with DevOps, MLE, and Security, instrument adoption and velocity metrics, and drive org-wide rollout and training to enable non-engineers to author specs.

Design and develop primary and secondary flight structures and mechanisms for the Terran R rocket from concept through release. Create and release drawings with GD&T, perform packaging and tolerance stack analyses, optimize geometry for mass and manufacturability, support BOM and PLM configuration management, and coordinate closely with manufacturing to validate fabrication and assembly.

Design structural, payload, and MGSE components for space hardware using 3-D CAD (e.g., Creo). Develop, verify, and document designs, manage suppliers, support fabrication/integration/testing, ensure compliance with GD&T, safety, and producibility, and create tooling and assembly solutions for satellite platforms.

Design and analyze satellite solar arrays and battery mechanical/electro-mechanical systems. Lead design, testing, qualification, failure investigations, and cross-functional coordination. Produce mechanical/electrical layouts using Creo/AutoCAD, apply GD&T and DFMAT, and serve as a technical lead or Responsible Engineering Authority on spacecraft solar and battery hardware.

Support program software quality across development and supplier products: define/maintain processes, perform audits, plan and verify testing, support configuration management, drive corrective actions, participate in reviews, and report quality metrics to reduce risk and ensure compliance with standards.

Lead design, architecture, and implementation of APIs, front-end interfaces, and backend services for satellite and ground systems. Guide Agile/DevSecOps development, CI/CD, automated testing, and security practices; lead code reviews, mentor team members, and own features through full lifecycle to deployment.

Lead electro-mechanical design, development, test, and production support for satellite battery packs and related hardware. Create 3D CAD models, define interfaces, support fabrication/assembly/testing, resolve anomalies, work with suppliers and cross-functional teams, and drive failure investigations and corrective actions to meet program requirements.
