Principal Systems Engineer
- Oversaw systems engineering for the thermal protection and passive thermal control subsystems on the NASA Orion Crew and service module. - Managed requirements allocated to the subsystems, developed subsystem and interface requirement specifications, and generated six TPS component specifications.- Led the TPS team in a trade study to select heat-shield material, results were consistent with NASA Customer's evaluation. - Ensured Spacecraft requirements were decomposed and flown down to module level and subsystem specifications. - Prepared and presented progress reports to subsystem team members and the NASA customer. - Participated on two Integrated Design Teams to redesign and refine the approach that the Orion Forward Bay Cover is jettisoned. - Reviewed engineering drawings to ensure parts were compatible with interfaces to other subsystems.
