Sean Mcgill is a Senior Project Manager and aerospace engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience leading mission-critical spacecraft integration, test, and operations across NASA JPL and industry. He blends systems engineering rigor with software fluency (Python, Git, Unix/Linux) to streamline complex workflows—from commanding multiple NASA satellites in real time to orchestrating NISAR and Mars sample caching activities. At JPL he progressed from systems engineer to deputy team lead and rover planner, demonstrating an ability to translate high-level mission goals into testable procedures and automated tooling. Now at Astrobotic he applies that operational depth to commercial lunar and planetary systems while maintaining a strong technical footprint. Outside work he’s a self-described computer scientist and tech enthusiast who brings curiosity and creativity—whether coding automation to reduce weeks of scheduling work to single-line scripts or tuning his golf swing and guitar.
