No H1B

Security Clearance Required

U.S. Citizen Only

Responsibilities

Perform hazardous and non-hazardous fluid operations primarily for spacecraft hypergolic propellant loading

Responsible for developing plans, writing work authorization documents, leading Task Teams, creating software products for the firing room console interaction with the hardware, and executing tests and SLS/Artemis upper stage processing operations

This position is considered entry level and will work under the guidance and direction of an experienced engineer

Perform mechanical engineering tasks in support of a variety of spacecraft to include the Orion Crew Module (CM), Service Module (SM), Interim Cryogenic Propulsion System (ICPS), future upper stages for the SLS launch system, and Launch Services Program (LSP) payloads

Candidate will support preparations for assembly, test, processing, and launch of NASA's Launch Services Program spacecraft, SLS processing, and Orion Crew Module

Initial assignments will focus developing an understanding of the mechanical fluid systems for hypergolic systems (Hypers) used by the group and concept of system operations. Assignments may include software coding for the Ground Flight Application Software (GFAS) as it relates to launch countdown and testing for Hypers firing room console displays, depending on candidate aptitudes and business needs. Additional responsibilities in related issues and problem resolution will follow

Assignments will include preparing ground support equipment (GSE) with technicians for mechanical fluid hypergolic systems, and other fluids related engineering systems in compliance with approved drawings, specifications, and applicable pressure vessel safety standards. Thorough knowledge of flight hardware servicing and mechanical integration will be obtained

Candidates will be required to develop and apply knowledge of technical principles for the SLS/Artemis upper stage processing operations concepts, ground to vehicle interfaces, vehicle/ground system design and operation, Ground Flight Application Software (GFAS), and launch configuration and closeouts

Additional responsibilities in spacecraft processing, procedural development, test requirements, system training and task leader certification will follow
