Working as a team of three (one mechanical engineer, myself, and our manager): • Worked closely with NASA to certify Dragon 2 solar array for flight • Enabled program-level decisions by building the backbone of the Starlink on-orbit solar power analysis code and synthesizing inputs from multiple teams under a tight timeline • Led the solar design effort for SpaceX's continuation bid on NASA's HLS (Lunar Lander) project. • Performed all Cargo Dragon 2 solar analysis and drove minimum necessary changes from Crew vehicle in order to meet requirements. • Juggled multiple priorities in order to keep schedule for launches (Demo 2, Crew-1+). • Consistently absorbed analysis scope over time; owned all solar power modeling for the Dragon 2 vehicle by January 2020. • Ran multiple test campaigns up to 11 months long to support degradation modeling of solar modules

• Led a team of 5-7 undergraduates to optimize testing and manufacturing processes • Tested and implemented high-performing technologies for use in flexible solar panels • Interfaced with sponsors to obtain material samples and equipment worth over $30,000 • Test methods include both flash testing and outdoor testing (with pyranometer) for IV traces, an optical reflectance test, and electroluminescence testing.
