Responsibilities

• Track how developmental aerospace hardware moves from engineering definition through fabrication, assembly, integration, test, field operations, and flight, and independently assess whether manufacturing and operations teams are truly ready rather than relying solely on schedule or status reporting.
• Identify unplanned constraints early - tooling, facilities, work instructions, personnel, training, material, test equipment, inspection capacity, configuration, transportation, and range support - and drive resolution without directly managing the manufacturing organization.
• Apply hands-on experience in complex aerospace vehicle integration across propulsion, structures, avionics, electrical systems, GNC, software, instrumentation, and/or energetic systems.
• Lead integration sequencing, interface management, configuration control, test planning, verification, discrepancy resolution, and retest; distinguish between a component being “complete” and being “integration-ready.”
