Manage mission operations and demonstration activities for real-time experimental spacecraft, including coordination of mission readiness, command-and-control, anomaly response, performance monitoring, and operational reporting.
Plan and manage the use of government launch, operational, and mission facilities, at varied locations.
Lead project planning, scheduling, resource coordination, milestone management, and technical reviews supporting aerospace system development, production, integration, launch, and operations.
Manage the collection, processing, reduction, analysis, interpretation, and documentation of aerospace scientific and engineering data.

Lead technical reviews and mission-readiness activities, including System Requirements Reviews, Preliminary Design Reviews, Critical Design Reviews, Test Readiness Reviews, Flight Readiness Reviews, and Operational Readiness Reviews.
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.
