About Sivan Kenig
As a Mechanical Systems Engineer at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), I led the development and management of the mechanical interface for the Sample Transfer System of the Mars Sample Return Lander. This system is designed to collect and transfer Martian rock samples from a rover to an ascent rocket for Earth return, in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). I have over 16 years of experience in spacecraft mechanical engineering, with a focus on projects related to Mars exploration.My core competencies include international partnership, management, international business, robot arms, Mars sample acquisition, spacecraft assembly, and mechanism testing. I have contributed to the technical and programmatic aspects of several Mars missions, such as the Mars Science Laboratory, the Low Density Supersonic Decelerator, and the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover. I have also received multiple honors and awards from NASA and JPL for my exceptional performance and innovation. My mission is to enable scientific discovery and advancement through the design and development of cutting-edge mechanical systems for space exploration.
