Software Engineer

At OneWeb, I began my professional career as an Orbit Analyst with the ambitious mission of connecting the world through a constellation of 650 satellites, providing global satellite internet coverage. In this fast-paced and high-stakes environment, I was entrusted with significant responsibilities and achieved numerous successes, showcasing my adaptability and ability to excel under pressure.

Key achievements and responsibilities included:

• Actively supporting all phases of spacecraft lifetime, from launch to de-orbit, by contributing to system readiness, planning, preparation, execution, and evaluation efforts
• Demonstrating technical expertise by configuring, operating, troubleshooting, and resolving issues in Flight Dynamics operations applications software, ensuring smooth and efficient system performance
• Thriving in a high-stress, shift-based environment by performing on-console Flight Dynamics operations with precision, accuracy, and composure
• Diligently monitoring critical Flight Dynamics Element processes such as Orbit Determination, Manoeuvre/Trajectory/Attitude Planning, and Evasive Action planning, ensuring the safety and success of satellite operations

As a Program Manager for a cutting-edge senior project, I successfully led and collaborated with a diverse team of 9 engineers to design and implement a groundbreaking mission focused on in-space assembly of a 30m optical aperture. Our innovative project consisted of a constellation of small satellites, launched from various locations on Earth, and aimed at advancing deep space observation capabilities.

Key achievements and responsibilities included:

• Spearheading the end-to-end design process, ensuring seamless integration of mission components such as structures, propulsion, flight mechanics, orbital mechanics, thermal, power, attitude control, RPO, communications, sensors, launch, and ground operations
• Conducting comprehensive trade studies to evaluate and optimize mission architecture and operations, with a focus on balancing mass, cost, time, and risk factors
• Fostering a collaborative environment that promoted effective communication and problem-solving skills among team members, ultimately driving project success and innovation
