2023-09-25 Mech : Director Sync

@Daniel Puratich @Nathan Green to add detail as they see fit.

No major concerns, getting senior people into projects productively. PMs have thus far been a bit more “Senior ICs”, and we’re trying to move them into more proper project management. New people are getting nice and involved.

Bootcamp is in a very good place after recent redo.

Competition drone largely on schedule, mounts going well. Work is pretty well distributed, but we are somewhat limited on tasks in the immediate future.

Battery shielding seems on track, Andy is doing a good job.

Tracking antenna going okay. It has some interfacing that need to be sorted out, but that is a very mechanical specific thing and somewhat outside the scope of this meeting.

Director feedback: Would help to have more specific instruction and delegation on cross-subteam tasks brought up in sync meetings. Ie: Is this a mechanical thing, electrical thing, directors thing. If so, who specifically from each subteam should be reached out talking.

@Conall Kingshott stepping down at end of term. Promotion process to start soon, @Nathan Green and directors will lead nominations, etc.
