Sunali Chokshi
Section Supervisor, Space Systems/Loral
Helping a leading satellite manufacturer do more for its customer
During her seven years at Space Systems/Loral, Sunali has been on the fast track: working in a series of positions of increasing responsibility as a Test Engineer, a Project Responsible Engineer, a Unit Manager and is now a Section Manager. Her most recent achievement was leading an initiative to increase the test capacity of the SSL Nearfield Range (NFR). Her project team identified areas of improvement, secured funding, and worked through suppliers, facilities maintenance, and other organizations within SS/L to complete these improvements. The outcome of the project improved both test capacity and measurement quality, permanently expanding SS/L’s production capacity at a time when manufacturers are being challenged to reduce the cost and time required to design and build a satellite.
