The Business & Operations Team manages the operational, financial, and logistical foundation that keeps Rutgers Autonomous running. From coordinating travel and budgets to securing sponsorships and organizing events, the team ensures engineering subteams can focus on design and flight while the organization runs smoothly behind the scenes.
The team manages budgets, financial records, and reimbursements while coordinating procurement of components, materials, and equipment. They maintain vendor relationships, track expenditures against allocated funds, and ensure purchasing aligns with organizational priorities. Competition travel, accommodations, and scheduling are planned and documented alongside ongoing milestone tracking to keep operations running on time and on budget.
Business & Operations drives the team's external presence through social media, content creation, and documentation of projects, events, and competitions. They organize and promote workshops, demos, and internal meetings, maintaining visibility across the local community and the broader sponsor landscape. The team also oversees K-12 and community college outreach programs, giving students hands-on exposure to drone technology and helping build the next generation of engineers.
