Produce and maintain technical presentations, program schedules, engineering analyses, mission products, management briefings, and system-level documentation using standard computer applications and engineering-management tools.

Minimum of 5 years of experience providing system-wide management of spacecraft programs, including experience across conceptualization, design, development, manufacturing, test, launch, operations, demonstration, and documentation.
Demonstrated experience leading management or systems engineering activities for space-flight hardware development, integration, operations, or maintenance.
