17. Space Operations: Managing Military Satellite Projects with Systems Engineering Manager, Joseph Reynolds-Grant

Episode 17

mercredi 17 juillet 2024Duration 23:59

Have you ever wondered what is up in the sky beyond the clouds? Depending on where you live, it may be hard to see the stars at night. Beyond the stars and outside of planet Earth, there are some really cool pieces of technology that have been sent to space and are collecting important information that helps us here on Earth. 

Did you know that it takes a team of people to research, build, and work together to create these amazing pieces of technology? The person who oversees this team of people is called a systems engineer manager, which is the STEM Career we are learning about today. In today’s episode, we will hear from systems engineer manager Joseph Reynolds-Grant. Joseph is taking us behind the scenes of what it’s like to be a systems engineer manager, some of the cool projects he gets to work on, and so much more.
