1
00:00:04,390 --> 00:00:03,189
i've worked at jpl now for a little over

2
00:00:08,150 --> 00:00:04,400
10 years

3
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:08,160
started as an intern back in 1999 and

4
00:00:12,230 --> 00:00:09,920
couldn't leave

5
00:00:13,509 --> 00:00:12,240
right now i am still the lead mobility

6
00:00:15,910 --> 00:00:13,519
engineer

7
00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:15,920
on the mars science laboratory project

8
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:18,960
we are working to create some new

9
00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:21,119
deployment mechanisms

10
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:22,640
part of the

11
00:00:27,269 --> 00:00:24,560
mars science laboratory architecture is

12
00:00:29,349 --> 00:00:27,279
that the mobility deploys in the air

13
00:00:31,589 --> 00:00:29,359
and we've found that it deploys a little

14
00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:31,599
too fast so we want to slow that down a

15
00:00:34,630 --> 00:00:32,559
little bit

16
00:00:36,549 --> 00:00:34,640
and that's kind of the charm of jpl is

17
00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:36,559
that that you're continually having to

18
00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:39,440
solve really hard problems and and

19
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:41,360
you pull together as a team you get all

20
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:43,520
these great people together and you just

21
00:00:47,350 --> 00:00:45,200
watch magic happen and that's what

22
00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:47,360
attracted me from the beginning and

23
00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:50,079
that's why i continue to stay

24
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:52,399
turn on the high speed cameras

25
00:00:59,670 --> 00:00:55,520
it's important to

26
00:01:01,270 --> 00:00:59,680
be educated to get at least a bachelor's

27
00:01:03,349 --> 00:01:01,280
degree in college if you want to work

28
00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:03,359
here in engineering

29
00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:05,680
and i think you have to really love what

30
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:10,870
because you're going to spend so much

31
00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:13,119
time doing it in college it's going to

32
00:01:17,350 --> 00:01:14,960
be all that time doing your homework and

33
00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:17,360
then when you get to work here it's it's

34
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:19,119
all of the time solving problems to
