Description
Lead System Modeling, Simulation, & Performance Analysis:
Lead the architecture, design, development, validation, and continuous improvement of advanced software models, simulations, and control system frameworks supporting space telescope pointing, guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems.
Develop high-fidelity system and subsystem models using first-principles analysis, physics-based methods, and empirical data to evaluate system behavior, predict performance, and support mission-critical engineering decisions.
Lead development of integrated control loop simulators and digital engineering environments to assess spacecraft performance, including jitter, line-of-sight stability, structural dynamics, image quality, and other mission-level performance metrics.
Define model assumptions, verification and validation strategies, data quality requirements, and model maturation plans throughout the system life cycle.
Present complex modeling approaches, simulation results, technical recommendations, and performance assessments to program leadership, customers, sponsors, and multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Lead System Architecture & Requirements Engineering:
Provide technical leadership in software-enabled systems architecture development and performance analysis for advanced spaceflight systems.
Lead the development, decomposition, and verification of system requirements related to spacecraft control systems, image quality, stability, and mission performance.
Develop software tools and analytical methods to evaluate architectural trade studies, system interfaces, and performance allocations while ensuring traceability between requirements, models, and verification activities.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to integrate software models with mechanical, electrical, optical, and systems engineering analyses, influencing design decisions across multiple programs.
Serve as a senior technical leader within the Space Telescope Program (STP) Functional Team by establishing software engineering best practices, modeling standards, simulation methodologies, and peer review processes across multiple projects.
Lead technical reviews of architecture, software, controls, and simulation products to ensure engineering rigor, quality, and consistency.
Mentor engineers and researchers in advanced modeling techniques, software development practices, and systems engineering methodologies.
Contribute to organizational design guides, engineering standards, reusable software frameworks, and lessons learned that advance institutional capabilities and support long-term strategic objectives.
Represent the organization as a recognized subject matter expert in software-enabled modeling, simulation, and control systems for complex aerospace and scientific instrumentation programs.
