Develop and maintain FPGA/digital verification infrastructure and UVMf testbenches, integrate DPI-C with MATLAB/Python models, build reusable VIPs, support CI/regression and HIL testing, mentor engineers, evaluate Xilinx TLM/QEMU integration, and work with vendors on simulation models.

Design, implement, and integrate embedded Linux software including applications, device drivers, kernel customization, bootloaders (U-Boot), and Yocto-based build systems. Support board bring-up, hardware/software integration, debugging, testing, CI/CD, packaging, and documentation while collaborating with cross-functional teams to meet aerospace/defense system requirements.

Develop and maintain an aerospace calibration program; schedule and perform calibrations; create procedures compliant with AS9100/ISO17025; manage vendors; analyze calibration data; lead failure investigations and corrective actions; support audits and train technicians.

Lead architecture and development of high-speed digital, DSP, and RF communications products for space and terrestrial platforms. Provide technical leadership for proposals, feasibility studies, pre-contract engineering, make-vs-buy decisions, technology evaluations, and transfer of R&D into production while mentoring cross-functional teams.

Design and develop board-level RF electronics and phased-array communication systems through concept, analysis, layout, fabrication, testing, qualification, and in-orbit support. Tasks include schematic and PCB design, simulations, link budgets, part selection, lab testing with RF instruments, presenting design reviews, and contributing to proposals.

Lead design, build, and management of a FlatSat testbed that mirrors spacecraft systems. Define architecture, drive hardware/software integration, run end-to-end simulations, enable HIL testing, manage configuration control, coordinate cross-functional teams, and support reviews and mission readiness.

Lead design, configuration, and operation of spacecraft space-to-ground communication links. Own link budgets, modulation/coding, hardware crypto, ground station operations, CONOPS, integration and RF test campaigns, interference mitigation, and regulatory compliance.

Lead end-to-end space and ground system architecture design for satellite platforms, communications payloads, ground stations, and supporting software. Define interfaces, CONOPS, technical requirements, and documentation; perform system-level analysis, modeling, trade studies, and technical evaluations. Partner with engineering, product, program, and external stakeholders to align roadmaps, support proposals, and ensure scalable, integrated solutions meeting mission and customer needs.

Lead mission assurance for aerospace programs: ensure compliance with customer and high-reliability standards across design, manufacturing, integration, and test. Implement and tailor mission assurance and QMS processes, drive risk management, supplier flow-down, nonconformance investigations, and deliver customer-facing documentation and reviews.

Lead board- and system-level RF electronics design for phased-array satellite and aerospace communications. Responsibilities include concept-to-deployment hardware design, schematics, PCB layout, simulations, test and qualification, manufacturing support, in-orbit support, mentoring, design reviews, and proposal participation.
