ABOUT DOMINICK RODRIGUEZ
As a Systems Integration/Test Engineering Supervisor on NASA’s Orion Spacecraft, I lead a team of highly skilled individuals in integrating the Propulsion and Environmental Control Life Support Systems (ECLSS) utilizing orbital arc welding, supporting critical phases of Assembly, Test, and Launch Operations for the Artemis missions.Although I’ve stepped into an supervisory role, my background as a Weld Engineer allows me to remain highly technical and hands-on when it comes to troubleshooting, process improvements, and supporting the team on the production floor.I operate at the intersection of hands-on manufacturing and advanced aerospace engineering, translating complex engineering drawings, executing Manufacturing Work Instructions (MWIs), supporting cleanroom operations, and solving real-time production challenges to keep builds on track.I thrive in high-paced, precision-driven environments with evolving requirements. Whether it’s leading welding operations, assessing manufacturability, conducting weld failure analyses, or mentoring new engineers and interns, I bring a forward-thinking mindset to every challenge.Technical Expertise:• Fluid Systems Integration (Prop/ECLSS)• Manufacturing Work Instruction Creation (MWI)• Orbital Arc Welding Operations (AWS & NASA-STD)• Precision Cleanliness Operations & Standards• ISO Class 7 Cleanroom Certified• Team Leadership & Technical Mentoring• Continuous Process Improvement
