Familiarity with test and security milestones (TRR, FAT/SAT, IATT, ATO)
Familiarity with development milestones (SRR, PDR, CDR)
Experience with various aspects of satellite system software (mission management, planning and scheduling, command and telemetry, satellite operations, flight dynamics models)
Guidance navigation control experience
KALMAN Filters
Development and deployment of simulation (software), emulation (hardware) for test and integration
FDIR (Fault, Detection, Isolation, and Recovery) familiarity
Familiarity with strict embedded systems hardware and software timing
