What does a day in the life of a mission assurance manager look like?
It's a very dynamic situation that changes depending on the day and where we are with the build. I work mostly in the office, but I also have to be on the shop floor.
I need to be out there problem-solving with some of the engineers. Even though I don't necessarily have to do the technical work as much anymore, it's more about managing.
Therefore, I spend a lot of time in meetings all day. These include meetings with our customer, program management, team leadership, and site leadership. We go through what's happening from a schedule standpoint and any issues we're seeing.
I have a team of six Quality Engineers working under me. They do a lot of the hands-on work, like processing paperwork, working on the hardware, and making any necessary repairs.
I also spend a lot of time with our chief engineer and systems engineering, discussing failures and potential paths forward. Those are typically the types of meetings I host, but again, it changes very often depending on where we are with the build. It's a lot of meetings and a lot of time on the shop floor.
