– Size propulsion subsystems including propellant mass, tank configuration, system architecture, and thruster configuration
– Act as the primary technical interface between propulsion vendors and internal spacecraft engineering teams during conceptual design and co-engineering phases
– Review vendor designs, analyses, qualification procedures, fabrication status, and acceptance test data to ensure compliance with mission requirements
– Define and manage propulsion subsystem interfaces with AOCS, EPS, thermal, structures, and software teams
– Support spacecraft configuration activities including placement, plume interaction assessment, center-of-mass evolution, and mechanical accommodation
– Plan and lead propulsion subsystem assembly, integration, and verification activities at unit and spacecraft levels
– Develop integration procedures, safety protocols, cleanliness controls, leak checks, and propellant handling strategies
– Design and implement ground support equipment, fixtures, jigs, and checkout setups required for propulsion testing and integration
– Prepare propulsion subsystem test plans, procedures, instrumentation schemes, and acceptance criteria
– Execute and oversee functional tests, performance characterization tests, and system-level validation campaigns
– Analyze propulsion test data to validate thrust performance, system efficiency, and thermal behavior
– Generate and maintain technical documentation including requirement specifications, interface control documents, verification reports, and review data packages
– Present propulsion subsystem design status and performance assessments in internal and customer technical reviews
– Support launch campaign activities including fueling readiness, subsystem checkout, and pre-launch verification
– Participate in in-orbit commissioning, maneuver execution planning, calibration burns, and propulsion performance trending
– Monitor propulsion telemetry during operations, estimate propellant consumption, and support anomaly detection and resolution
– Contribute to maneuver analysis, operational strategy updates, and long-term propulsion subsystem health assessment
