EOE/Minority/Female/Disabled/Veteran

Is a key personnel and report to the E&S DM. GLs are at the organization major discipline level within their respective groups and provide core technical expertise. GLs are responsible for personnel/resources including performance evaluations, counseling, and training. They support the PjMs in developing WPs. They identify new tools that are needed for personnel, training, and engineering assessments. They develop approaches, review engineering methods, and sign work products in their discipline to make sure they are of high quality and technically rigorous.

Communications engineer is responsible for ensuring effective communication systems and technologies that support the space agency's missions, including satellite, spacecraft, and ground-based communication infrastructure. This role typically involves a variety of tasks in both technical and operational areas related to space missions, research, and engineering.
