Manages end-to-end proposal development from RFP analysis through submission. Coordinates engineering, business development, finance, contracts, and program management contributors; establishes schedules, tracks actions, ensures compliance and editorial quality, and facilitates technical estimates and requirements matrices. Maintains proposal data in CRM, Jira, and SharePoint, translates technical concepts into customer-focused narratives, and improves proposal processes, templates, and win rates.

Leads systems engineering for advanced spaceflight electronics, including RF, processing, networking, and data storage systems. Owns systems engineering processes, requirements verification, technical baselines, design reviews, technical trades, and program execution. Provides technical leadership across multidisciplinary teams, supports IR&D and proposals, and contributes to complex aerospace hardware development from concept through qualification, production, and delivery.

Leads systems engineering for complex spaceflight electronics, including requirements development, systems analysis, technical baseline management, verification, validation, and design reviews. Collaborates across mechanical, electrical, software, and firmware disciplines; supports program execution, customer interactions, new product development, and proposals. Requires advanced technical judgment and experience delivering aerospace hardware from concept through qualification, production, and customer delivery.

Architects, implements, verifies, and integrates high-performance FPGA networking solutions for space-based electronic systems. Designs Ethernet datapaths, packet switching fabrics, routing and queuing logic, protocol offload functions, and high-speed interfaces using AMD Xilinx technologies. Performs RTL coding, simulation, timing closure, board bring-up, system debugging, and documentation. Collaborates with hardware and software teams, supports laboratory validation, and mentors junior engineers serving DoD, intelligence, and civil space customers.

Designs and verifies FPGA-based image, video, sensor-processing, and compression systems for space applications. Responsibilities include adapting MATLAB algorithms, performing fixed-point and word-length optimization, developing VHDL/Verilog RTL and SystemVerilog testbenches, validating hardware against golden models, debugging with FPGA tools, documenting designs, leading reviews, and mentoring engineers. The role focuses on AMD Xilinx FPGA platforms and high-throughput, low-latency processing architectures for DoD, intelligence, and civil space customers.

Own and govern the Altium component library and Enterprise Server. Create and verify IPC space-grade footprints, enforce EEE-INST-002 Level 3 selections, manage automotive/COTS up-screening and PEM governance, embed derating rules, track lifecycles/obsolescence, enforce part request workflows, and support manufacturing integration and occasional travel.

Lead early-phase concept development for software-defined space processors and satellite battery systems. Engage customers, develop architectures, feasibility studies, white papers, and proposals; scout COTS technologies and adapt them for space, prioritize SWaP reductions, partner with BD to shape capture strategies, and drive concepts into executable programs while supporting travel and cross-functional collaboration.
