• 200 - 300 Employee

• Electrical Integration Lead

  • Jan 2022 - Present

  Building a team. Building a factory. Building one heck of a lot of satellites.

• Software Defined Radio Hardware Lead

  • Oct 2019 - Jan 2022

  Leading a hardware design team responsible for the best software defined radios, both in and out of this world But also doing all the same stuff as before

• Payload Hardware Engineer

  • May 2017 - Oct 2019

  Helping build small, low-cost telecommunications satellites. Reinventing 30 GHz radios in space using software defined radios. I work on high speed digital and mixed signal hardware designs, and a little bit of signal integrity design and validation. No EE job would be complete without a whole lot of test software too.
