Bradley Williams

Bradley Williams received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Arizona in 2013. His passion for space exploration began at the age of ten, fueled by the misfortune of the Mars Polar Lander. He began his space career as an undergraduate working for the Phoenix Mars Lander Principal Investigator, Dr. Peter Smith, characterizing detector performance for cubesat applications. Mr. Williams began integrating into the OCAMS team just prior to the instrument PDR. He worked with the Lead Systems Engineer, Cat Merrill, to develop a robust integration and test program focused about verification. He led the OCAMS EMI/EMC efforts and continued his leadership role throughout ATLO to ensure instrument health and safety leading to a successful launch. Bradley enjoys spending time on the golf course and attending University of Arizona Wildcats basketball games. Photo by S. Platts.
