  • Professional experience with Python or similar software languages and integration.
  • Experience with ordnance device procurement, supply chain, and lot acceptance.
  • Experience with PCBA and harness design and manufacturing.
  • Experience with best practices for design, qualification, and production of avionics systems for launch vehicles.
