About Pete Engelmann

Space Systems Scientific AnalystConnect with me at:p••••••••@gmail.comAll Invitations to Connect Welcome.LION - LinkedIn Open HR Managers, Hiring Managers connect with me to get access to my network deep in industry know how many program managers agonize over making decisions, faced with multiple conflicting data points and a firm timeline for proceeding? I solve this. I have a knack for using my math and physics background to first carefully define the problem, then using solid logical reasoning and quantitative modeling and analysis to derive the optimum solution. This careful, logical analysis provides managers the needed confidence to make difficult decisions.I\'m a Senior Military Space Analyst with a broad background in military space systems in general, and space weather in particular. As a Space Control analyst supporting SMDC/ARSTRAT, I led a series of 7 classified studies on small satellite and satellite communication topics. I defined the scope of the analyses, led the overall data gathering efforts, and prepared all written reports and visual presentations.I\'m also a current subject matter expert in space weather and its effects on DoD operations. My \"space weatherman\" training is particularly useful in combining multiple, often conflicting technical factors into a single coherent picture and translating highly technical material for layman audiences.Finally, I\'m also completely comfortable in an international environment, having served as the US Air Force Advisor and Instructor to the German Armed Forces Staff College in Hamburg, Germany, where I taught \"Military Use of Space\" to hundreds of German, NATO, and other international military students. I\'m native fluent in German and professionally fluent in French.Got a tricky technical issue you\'d like to discuss? Call me at 71••••••43.
