Sarah Sassie Duggleby's past jobs
I joke that I'm a utility player for Virgin Orbit, but I don't know that there's a better way to put it. I split my time between writing code for Launch Operations, working on requirements for Systems Engineering, leading efforts to make more efficient processes across teams, and managing our missions/working with customers within Business Development. Every day is different and exciting at this New Space start-up.
