Led the technical implementation of the Europa Clipper Operational Readiness Tests (ORTs) prior to Launch. Worked with Spacecraft Ops, Navigation and Ground teams to simulate flight-like capabilities for the tests. Co-lead the “Gremlin team” in the definition and implementation of anomalies for the off-nominal Launch ORT. Served as test conductor during the ORT execution.

Owner of the System Test program from an end-to-end perspective for the entire project. Directed the expectations, technical content, and processes of the ST program. Coordinated System Test development, dry-runs on testbeds, executions in ATLO (mobilized ~150 team members), and close out. Worked with PSE leads, testbed and ATLO leads, and domain leads to ensure tactical and strategic prioritization.

Responsible for the assessment of health and safety of the rover and its instruments during tactical downlink shifts.

Activity Lead, Systems Chair and Avionics Chair for Mars 2020 Cruise and Entry, Descent and Landing Operations.

Responsible for planning and execution of VnV activities, incl. development of test cases and procedures and execution in ATLO and testbeds; validation of system behavior through participation in System Tests; coordination with L4 and L5 Avionics VnV activities; owner of the associated Functional Description Documents.

Developed L3 Mechanical requirements and led various system-level trades during Phase B; liaison with L4 Mechanical Team (incl. at APL). Lead the Solar Array Control Working Group, to develop the preliminary Solar Array Pointing & Control Functional Design.

Responsible for the delivery of strategic builds for the planning of communications between the Curiosity rover, the Deep Space Network and the various Mars Orbiters (MRO, Odyssey, MAVEN, Mars Express and TGO)

Prepare and validate the tactical activity plans and sequences of the Curiosity rover by working with the science teams and other uplink roles.

Project Systems Engineering and Formulation Section - System Modeling, Analysis and Architectures groupPrevious assignments:-------------------------------* Europa Clipper ProjectSystems Engineer on the Project Systems Engineering Team. Led the definition of new methods and modeling patterns to characterize the structural composition of the Flight System and the technical performance of propulsion, power, telecom subsystems, for the integration of simulations in different environments (SysML, SPICE, APGEN, STK, Modelica)* JPL Foundry Software Modernization Led the Applications Development team, responsible for developing tools and models leveraging the new Foundry software infrastructure. Developed a plan to gradually deploy the new infrastructure to reduce risk of disruption in Team X operations (JPL's concurrent engineering environment) and to deliver new capabilities to conceptual study teams and Team X chairs.* HyspIRI mission: Developed method and tool to model science measurement uncertainties due to pointing knowledge and control errors (Matlab)* Programmatics/Risk chair in Team X*DARPA F6 Program: Developed models of operations of fractionated spacecraft clusters in discrete-event simulation environments (ARENA and Python), with focus on resource allocation (power, data, propellant) and uncertainty modeling

Stochastic modeling of responsiveness, schedule risk and obsolescence of space systems, and implications for design choices.
