· Support build and test activities at the bus and payload level, from prototyping through launch and mission operations.
· Lead risk management and failure modes and effects analysis for Dcubed USA ISM products.
· Manage system technical development budgets and maturation plans.
· Contribute to global Dcubed systems engineering function process improvements.
