These include power systems to support the Dream Chaser, from test to launch, through landing. Or, you may be part of the communications test rack used on the satellite flat sat.

While working with a broad range of groups you help to define the

requirements, do the detailed design, write the software, and then help during execution.This not only requires someone with a large skill set, but someone with the desire to support the entire campaign.
