Lead Electric Power Subsystem (EPS) development across Ranger spacecraft programs from architecture definition through integration and flight readiness
Derive EPS subsystem requirements from spacecraft- and mission-level requirements while maintaining requirement traceability throughout development
Author and maintain EPS Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and coordinate electrical and operational interfaces across impacted spacecraft subsystems
Perform spacecraft power generation, storage, and distribution sizing analysis based on mission parameters, operational scenarios, and vehicle constraints
Develop and maintain spacecraft power models throughout the full spacecraft development lifecycle
Define and manage spacecraft power distribution architectures supporting avionics, propulsion, payload, RF communications, and vehicle-level operations
Drive technical resolution of subsystem integration challenges involving power allocation, electrical compatibility, redundancy, fault management, and operational constraints
Perform make-versus-buy trades supporting EPS hardware architecture and procurement decisions
Support management of EPS hardware vendors, suppliers, hardware deliveries, and subsystem integration schedules
Author spacecraft EPS integration and test (I&T) plans supporting subsystem validation, vehicle integration, environmental testing, and flight readiness activities
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure EPS architectures support reliability, manufacturability, mission longevity, and operational flexibility
Support spacecraft assembly, integration, environmental testing, and launch campaign readiness activities
Participate in major spacecraft reviews including SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and FRR activities
