Performed on-orbit commissioning for seven small satellites, including earth imaging, propulsion demo, and massless software payloads- Developed and operated a ground software suite, which included TT&C automation, a data handling backend, and ground station network management in a Python and Linux environment- Discovered, diagnosed, and patched many flight software bugs during on-orbit commissioning by developing workarounds and safety nets to ensure system integrity, collecting telemetry to determine root cause, and testing the corrective patches on the ground before deployment- Collaborated with the flight software team to develop onboard software relating to data handling, ADCS subsystem control, TT&C, and high-level EPS management- Performed thorough satellite system functional and acceptance testing campaigns on flight units before shipment, and contributed to test procedure development Show less

Led a team of engineers to perform on-orbit satellite operations for Astro Digital customers and develop supporting ground software- Instructed, with the aide of documentation, the satellite operations team to execute many of the day-to-day satellite operations tasks, including pass planning, ground station operation, ground software operation, and flight-like flatsat testing- Interfaced directly with customers to develop the concept of operations (CONOPS), develop commissioning plans, design payload data pathways, and provide regular satellite operations reports- Held regular discussions between satellite operations and the production team to provide feedback for future system improvement and close the loop on satellite design development- Continued to carry out many of the responsibilities of the satellite operations engineer role Show less
