Spacecraft Command Controller

• May 2019 - Apr 2020

I helped manage several spacecraft subsystems across 3 missions - the power subsystem on both SORCE and AIM, the thermal subsystem on SORCE and AIM, the HPCA instrument on MMS, and I managed spacecraft communications via NASA's SNAS and TDRSS systems for AIM. I diagnosed problems, performed real-time commanding activities, and produced weekly and monthly reports to disseminate information about the state of the missions. One of my major projects was to perform analysis and design software that aided in detecting potential battery problems on AIM before they became irreparable. This "back-orbit checker" provided vital warnings on many occasions that allowed us to ensure the continued health and safety of the spacecraft.

Computer Aided Design Designer

• Feb 2019 - May 2019

Modeled and designed CAD models using SolidWorks to produce realistic and all-encompassing models of optical spectrometers. Utilized extensive SolidWorks and CircuitWorks to create components, including organic sweeps to represent wire harnesses. Other representative designs include parts designed for manufacturability by SLA technology and sheet metal bending. Also created bills of materials and inventory documents to facilitate part ordering and costing.
