Southwest Research & Development provides engineering services to New Space companies through direct or third-party contracts. I establish engineering practices, build and lead cross-functional engineering teams, develop new business, and maintain my engineering licenses and certifications.►Trident Systems (Fairfax, VA): Contracted as Lead Systems Engineer to develop IR Payload Controller. Established requirements. Performed design trade studies. Defined architecture & CONOPS. Led conceptual design phase and CoDR. Led preliminary design and PDR. Created interface control documents (ICDs). Created DC power, mass and key performance budgets. ►Momentus (San Jose, CA): Contracted as Radio Systems Engineer to resolve UHF radio problems and support spacecraft-level radio qualification tests. Investigated and corrected UHF radio embedded software problems. Analyzed and verified communication link margins and supported spacecraft-level integration and environmental tests of UHF, S-Band, and X-Band radios. Developed detailed RF calibration and EMI/EMC compliance test plans.►Terran Orbital (Boca Raton, FL): Contracted as Reliability Engineer to analyze radiation test data from four board-level SEE radiation tests and write test reports. Peer-reviewed and published all four radiation test reports documenting test plans, results and recommended test method improvements.►Shine Systems (Charlottesville, VA): Contracted as Proposal Manager to complete orbital communication system proposal within one month for Shine Systems in response to RFP from DoD. Swiftly evaluated RFP requirements, SOW, and company capabilities, created and peer reviewed management and technical inputs and cost estimates, and submitted proposal on time. Technologies utilized: Xilinx Ultrascale & Versal SoCs; COTS solid-state drives (SSDs).
