From 2020 to 2023 George was the Maintenance and Reliability Engineer for the W. M. Keck Observatory on the island of Hawai'i. He modernized the maintenance program at the telescope facility by converting the existing in-house scheduling solution to a state of the art reliability-centered commercial software system. George trained all personnel on the use of the new software and related hardware to digitize and streamline maintenance while minimizing the loss of observing time due to technical faults. He updated and revised existing maintenance instructions and performance intervals while working to integrate the maintenance program with existing telemetry to allow for proactive, meter-based predictive maintenance.

From 2004 to 2017 George was a NASA engineer at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, specializing in avionics. George helped repair, upgrade, test, integrate and launch space shuttles from 2004 until the orbiters were retired in 2011, working his way up to Lead Guidance, Navigation and Flight Controls engineer for Space Shuttle Endeavour. In 2009 George was promoted to Flight Program System Engineer and assisted with the GNC design of NASA's Orion spacecraft concurrently with his shuttle work. For three years George worked in the Launch Services Program, consulting on flight computers for launch vehicles such as Falcon 9, Pegasus, and Antares. He also lent his avionics expertise to next-generation commercial space activities and advanced technology demonstrations, like small-scale orbital class launch vehicles as well as nanosats and drill-mounted fiber optic sensors for asteroid and planetary characterization and prospecting. While pursuing his PhD as a Kennedy Graduate Fellow, George spent seven months on a work detail to KSC's Swamp Works helping to develop a simulated asteroid regolith from a mixture of processed minerals available on Earth.

During his time at the Cape, George worked extensively to promote NASA, serving as a VIP escort for launches, a tour guide for educators and students of all ages, and a resident rocket expert for visiting schoolchildren and educational programs online and on NASA TV. He represented NASA as a judge for statewide science fairs and space-related robotics competitions.

George has bachelor's and master's degrees in aerospace engineering from the University of Tennessee. He completed all the coursework for a PhD in Planetary Science University of Central Florida.
