Support engineering trade studies, program baseline development, proposal
evaluations, and the creation and maintenance of in-house simulation tools
and models.
Conduct research, analysis, and development of schedule risk assessments
(SRAs) to support government procurement of cost-effective space systems.
Organize professional community events, such as conferences, seminars,
and industry forums. Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to
foster engagement and growth.
Mentor early career/junior staff, offering technical guidance and support
for their professional development.
Synthesize information from multiple sources into well-crafted narratives and
deliverables that support decision-making processes.
