Organizational Chart PersonJobSpecific Tasks Zachary CuseoSystems Engineer This job involves making sure all the different systems work together in order to assure that the mission is successful and the desired data is obtained. Tyler KnappeCode Monkey This job involves programming the AVR to work with the rest of the box, specifically to gather data, take pictures, and control the inner temperature of the satellite. Shweta Maurya Chief Financial Officer and Data Analyst This job involves creating and editing diagrams and schematics, tempering and overseeing the budget, and translating the data into coherent analysis in LoggerPro software. Andrew Fruge’ Structures and Asst. Systems Engineer This job involves creating, testing, and improving the outer foam core structure, as well as the Faraday Cage. Andrew will also assist Zach with part of the Systems Engineering. Sydni SmithInternal Structures Engineer This job involves arranging the inner components and building whatever stands or holders or shelves may be necessary to keep the inside of the satellite organized and in working condition. Christopher NieElectrical Engineer This job involves being responsible for the power system, including the batteries, electrical connections between components, and the specific power requirements between components.
