Ability to create and interpret engineering documentation including drawings, P&ID schematics and test data.
Able to prioritize and execute tasks in a high pressure fast-paced environment
Ability to self-motivate and take the initiative to ensure your systems are functional and operating at peak performance
Demonstrated leadership experience in a fast paced environment with the ability to think critically under pressure.
Ability to convey complex technical information clearly and concisely to technical and non-technical audiences.
Comfortable working in launch site environments with field testing, lifting equipment, and hazardous materials.
