From there, the engineer coordinates facility access, logistics, and equipment movement, ensuring cleanroom conditions and safety certifications are in place for joint operations. They are also responsible for drafting and executing detailed work instructions (WOs) that guide campaign activities, from payload processing through encapsulation and launch integration. Throughout the day, they provide real-time floor support during operations, resolve issues alongside launch vehicle engineers, and manage schedule adjustments to keep the campaign on track.
