Responsibilities:​​

• Serve as primary Mission Assurance Engineer for two satellite programs totaling ~20 spacecraft, independently assessing engineering changes, V&V artifacts, test updates, discrepancy dispositions, and technical deliverables to identify mission risk, challenge insufficient rationale, and support informed program decisions

• Initiated and executed a cross-program risk-management improvement effort by auditing 575+ engineering records, identifying nearly 200 traceability, mapping, and consistency issues, and developing Jira dashboards and tracking tools adopted by program teams to support ongoing cleanup

• Strengthened technical analyses across programs by identifying missing failure-mode evaluations, incomplete modeling, calculation discrepancies, and unsupported rationale, substantially rewriting the analyses, and driving additional engineering research and calculation updates prior to delivery

• Evaluated risk disposition for a purchased-part waiver by investigating industry and internal requirements, engaging design teams, and escalating overlooked payload and personnel hazards to support informed program risk management

• Serve as Mission Assurance point of contact for ground system matters, applying spacecraft operations experience to identify capability gaps, coordinate software-side expertise, and develop a roadmap to improve on-orbit operations
