Jacqueline Maldonado is the department manager responsible for program management at EnerSys ABSL in Longmont, Colorado. She leads a team of seven program managers across 30+ concurrent programs for NASA, commercial, and military customers. Jacqueline has managed the battery subcontracts for several NASA programs, including JWST (exploration), LADEE (lunar mission), GPM (earth sciences), and Parker Solar Probe. Jacqueline has been in aerospace for over 30 years, the last 12 of which were spent with EnerSys ABSL. Her early background was in satellite integration and test of commercial telecommunication satellites. In this role, she designed ground support equipment, performed alignments, created detailed manufacturing plans, led satellite assembly technician teams, and participated in two Ariane launch campaigns. From there, Jacqueline transitioned to systems engineering for NASA life sciences payloads on the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station. As a result, Jacqueline developed a strong skill set in requirements analysis, verification, and detailed planning, all of which ported over into her current role in program management.
