• Supervised integration, assembly, and testing operations for a multidisciplinary team of 75 engineers and technicians across overlapping builds, coordinating two-shift, six-day-a-week campaigns.
• Led a $25M robotic system development effort, delivering integrated prototypes and testbeds, culminating in formal recognition from NASA and US Congress.
• Recovered a stalled $24M prototype program in under three months by realigning stakeholders, refocusing the team, and defining technical standards.
• Secured a critical $50M contract under complex technical and schedule challenges, aligning legal, executive, and engineering teams across multiple organizations.
• Enabled four stalled subsystems (60+ engineers) to resume development by identifying 120 critical information gaps and implementing interim solutions, despite program-wide roadblocks and resource constraints.
• Implemented a scalable relational database for a multidisciplinary technology development team, boosting efficiency by 30%, cutting onboarding time by 50%, and eliminating critical knowledge gaps.
• Mentored junior engineers and emerging leaders, fortifying team resilience while ensuring smooth leadership handovers.
• Standardized complex integration environments through visual tools, shift planning, and digital workflows—boosting team efficiency and improving cross-discipline continuity.

• Oversaw mechanical and electrical integration across multiple programs to deliver products on aggressive, fixed timelines through cross-functional alignment and efficient resource coordination.
• Defined test requirements and managed all personnel and operations involved in powered system testing, including real-time troubleshooting and anomaly resolution.
• Recovered a critical hardware development effort by stepping in eight months before delivery with zero remaining schedule margin; realigned the team and delivery plan to ensure on-time completion with no outstanding issues.
• Adapted to dynamic project needs by taking on roles in mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering, as well as hands-on technician work and project planning.
• Transformed chaotic, high-pressure operations into structured, repeatable workflows that improved task clarity, team coordination, and responsiveness to shifting priorities.
• Led root cause and corrective action efforts, coordinating across design, manufacturing, quality, and customer teams to ensure technical integrity and program success.
● OTHER RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

• Drove project execution across multiple roles in a lean startup environment, leading engineering tasks, managing contracts, and developing executable plans to ensure deliverables were met on schedule despite limited resources.
• Enhanced company visibility and growth potential by creating targeted marketing materials, attending industry conferences, and identifying new customer opportunities, contributing to increased engagement and positioning in the small satellite market.
