Biography For David D. Squires, CEO:
Dave Squires received a BS/EE from CSU, Sacramento in 1991. Dave delivered engineering results over 24 years as a NASA contractor, designing and managing development of high performance laboratory control systems, space shuttle payloads, and small spacecraft. Disciplines supported include controls and electronics systems for experiments in
aerodynamics, aero-thermal re-entry, space neuro-vestibular effects, IR
telescope sensor development, instrument calibration, pilot/astronaut
physiological effects and remediation, a Space Shuttle mid-deck rack
payload, nanosatellite systems engineering, and lunar mission risk management. In 1994, Dave became supervisor of an electrical engineering, instrumentation, and
controls group, subsequently developing and managing the Ames-led Integrated
Vehicle Health Management Systems Analysis and Optimization project, developing
risk management tools, and performing
suborbital science requirements analysis for Ames’ Earth Science Project
Office. In 2003, Dave became site manager of a GSA contract to support Micro
and Nano Spacecraft and Payloads (MNSP) projects. Since 2003, Dave has been almost exclusively involved in small satellite project management and air traffic management systems engineering. Dave is now an independent
consultant, CEO of NSS, and serving as the proposal developer, lead systems engineer, risk
manager, and project manager on multiple commercial and government-funded projects.
