Prototype‑to‑flight transition — A proven record of taking integrated hardware/software systems from early prototypes to fully qualified, flight‑ready platforms.

EO/IR and optical payloads — Understanding the nuances of EO/IR sensing, optical payload architectures, or focal plane arrays.

Production engineering — Familiarity with takt time, line‑of‑balance, design‑for‑manufacturing principles, and learning‑curve economics.

Manufacturing risk reduction — Experience identifying tooling, supply‑chain, or yield risks and neutralizing them before they impact throughput.

Command the Lifecycle: Build and lead the team that takes highly maneuverable, time-critical mission platforms from a “blank sheet” concept through qualification, responsive production, and flight, and own the technical roadmap that grows the team's core capabilities.

Lead the Team of Teams: Run multiple active programs at once, make sound architectural calls with Chief Engineers, navigate the hardest trade-offs in closed-loop guidance and control, on-board autonomy, and propulsion, and personally dive into the most program-threatening problems alongside the team.

Own the P&L: Own the program P&L on a Firm Fixed Price basis: build accurate forecasts, hit revenue and margin milestones on time, prepare credible program and capital budgets, and make defensible Make/Buy decisions.

Forge the Supply Chain: Manage high-stakes subcontracts and suppliers as strategic partners essential to the mission, protecting schedule and margin.

Unblock Excellence: Synchronize cross-functional teams across hardware, software, GNC, and mission assurance and clear roadblocks quickly so the team keeps moving at speed and quality stays high.
