  • Hands-on prototyping, integration, troubleshooting, and testing of simulations, flight algorithms, and hardware in the loop testing
  • Implement rapidly developed code to support development and testing of avionics, propulsion, electromechanical, and other spacecraft systems
  • Negotiate requirements by having a deep understanding of the company and mission objectives and providing alternative solutions
  • Conduct design reviews, test readiness reviews, and flight readiness reviews with a heavy emphasis on technical excellence
