As a Senior Mission Operations Specialist I managed highly sensitive payload repurposing projects and lead payload in-orbit anomaly troubleshooting and fix efforts. I was in charge of creation and validation of Standard Operation Procedures, Mission Contingency Procedures, and Health Monitoring Procedures and lead satellite payload reconfiguration tasks. This included identifying and tracking issues and progress and providing technical and management coordination between the Program Office, the satellite contractor and the operations site and included verification and validation of Operational Procedures, Flight Control Procedures, Operational Handbooks, and the Spacecraft Simulator. I also developed productive relationships with contractor counterparts, functional counterparts, and other subject matter experts. Prior to that, as a Senior Test Verification Payload Engineer, I managed high profile satellite programs and coordinated with multi production disciplines to oversee space crafts’ production form Critical Design Review (CDR), through Panels Assembly, Main Body Integration, References Performance, Thermal Vacuum Testing, Compact Antenna Testing Range (CATR), In Orbit Testing (IOT), and final handover to customers. This included aspects of project management, including spearheading orbit implementation of satellite systems from design to test and conducting engineering review boards and technical briefings; data verification including managing calibration of RF test equipment and documentation and presenting detailed reports of data analysis to customers; and satellite testing across Payload, Telemetry Command and Ranging (TCR), and satellite BUS subsystems.
