- Perform tactical and strategic systems engineering roles for the MSL mission, including spacecraft health state assessment, anomaly response and resolution, uplink plan development, and sequence validation and verification.- Manage testbed configuration, code base, and task allocation for a team of six engineers; lead anomaly investigations; trend testbed telemetry and consumables; support testbed users with troubleshooting and shift coverage; and communicate with project staff and key stakeholders as MSL Testbed Systems Engineering Lead.- Apply in-depth technical problem-solving skills and perform root cause analysis to investigate, analyze, test, and document conclusions, solutions, and workarounds to flight vehicle and testbed anomalies.- Support pre-launch operations preparation for the Lunar Traiblazer mission; own GNC/ADCS and maneuver sequence generation tools, manage spacecraft parameters, and design project’s activity development process.- Supervise Lunar Trailblazer tactical shifts as Flight Director during ORTs and thread tests.

- Commanded the Lunar Flashlight spacecraft and flatsat testbed, and analyzed telemetry and test data, as part of JPL's first lunar CubeSat mission. Served as ACS and Propulsion Lead for Operations.- Wrote and tested propulsion, comms, instrument operations, ACS, and safe mode sequences as Lead Command Sequence Developer. Documented and enforced flight rules during sequence generation and live operations.- Coordinated and performed Operational Readiness Tests, as an operator and as Test Conductor.- Wrote procedures and command sequences for and performed day-in-the-life testing on the Lunar Flashlight spacecraft and flatsat to support I&T and operations. Compiled test reports to close out V&V of requirements.- Worked closely with teams from JPL, Marshall Space Flight Center, and the Deep Space Network to develop mission ConOps, coordinate mission planning, and establish operational interfaces.

- Created detailed I&T plans, assembled a hardware-in-the-loop testbed, analyzed technical budgets, and contributed to mechanical design as systems engineer for the VISORS distributed space telescope CubeSat mission.- Worked with a small team of graduate students and research staff to produce procedures, run GDS tests, command multiple spacecraft, and process telemetry in Georgia Tech's Mission Operations Center.

Hawthorne, California, Us

- Worked with Astrolab's industry-leading team in developing a commercial planetary mobility system.- Spearheaded systems engineering for Astrolab's lunar rover, analyzing the power, communications, and thermal management subsystems and contributing to presentations to NASA.- Designed a thermal vacuum dynamometer assembly to test actuators in simulated lunar environments, conducting design reviews and producing drawings.- Contributed to detailed mechanical design of joints and lightweighting parts; analyzed rover suspension components using FEA in NX; and created Astrolab's drawing template.

Pasadena, Ca, Us

- Performed reflectometry, microscopy, characterization, and data analysis on samples of black silicon material as part of the WFIRST Coronagraph Instrument team, in order to improve the fabrication process of ultra-dark materials for the purpose of direct detection of exoplanets.- Gained experience with testbed automation in Python, data processing and visualization in Matlab, spectrometry, fiber optics, and optomechanics.

Princeton, Nj, Us

- Summer research intern for ShadowFAX (Shadow Fine Alignment eXperiment) in the Kasdin Group.- Worked to integrate electrical, optical, and mechanical components into a Python-based hardware-in-the-loop simulation of starshade-telescope dynamics in the Princeton Starshade Testbed.- Gained experience with hardware-software integration, Python and Python packages, Raspberry Pi, electronics fabrication, Thorlabs optical components, and Galil motion controllers.
