As a partner in NASA's next generation of space exploration, our jobs are literally history in the making.

Position Description:

This position will provide technical leadership and systems engineering and integration support to the Technical Management Branch/(EV71) in support of the SLS Systems Engineering and Integration Office (SEIO) as well as the Spacecraft/Payload Integration and Evolution (SPIE) Element Office and the SPIE Lead Systems Engineer (LSE).

Responsibilities:

Specific support to be provided includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Evaluate, select, and apply standard system engineering (SE) techniques, procedures, and criteria to this effort.

• Coordinate and interface with EV, SLS Elements, Task Teams, SLS project teams and personnel, the SLS Prime Contractors, as well as participate in reviews, meetings, TIMs, technical performance meetings, teleconferences, working groups, and trade studies.

• Provide systems engineering support to the SPIE Sub-elements, including the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion System (ICPS), the Launch Vehicle Stage Adapter (LVSA), the Orion Stage Adapter (OSA), other Integrated Spacecraft/Payload Element (ISPE) adapters.

• Provide technical leadership, guidance, and support to aid in the development of systems and operational engineering activities and products to support SLS/SPIE design, development, test, and flight readiness efforts.

• Identify, plan, participate, and lead, as appropriate, milestone reviews, checkpoints, and TIMs as directed by Systems Engineering and Integration Office (SEIO) LSE/Alternates or the SPIE LSE. Develop review plans and provide support for setup, training, administration, tracking of review item discrepancies (RIDs), RID burn down analysis, reporting, and facilitating completion of milestone reviews.

• Perform oversight/insight activities to ensure project is performing in accordance with plans and processes as well as remains in compliance with NASA and MSFC requirements and standards.

• Support or lead, as needed, integrated vehicle design and analyses including vehicle requirements analysis, modeling and simulation, technical implementation, and verification methods.

• Support or lead, as needed, Design Analysis Cycle (DAC), Flight Readiness Analysis Cycle (FRAC), Mission Analysis Cycle (MAC) planning, implementation, and re-integration responsibilities with cross-functional teams and/or groups. This includes recording and tracking Ground Rules and Assumptions for SLS analysis cycles.

Qualifications

Qualifications:

A degree in aerospace, mechanical, systems or a related engineering field or discipline is required. Typically, educational requirements are the equivalent of a BS with at least 15 years of experience, or a master's with at least 13 years of relevant experience.

The candidate is required to have:

• Familiarity with the systems engineering life cycle end-to-end development ranging from requirements development, functional design, hardware integration, requirement verification, and flight readiness that ultimately lead to flight hardware certification.

• Knowledge of the development and documentation of requirements, processes, and/or procedures associated with aerospace flight and ground hardware design, development, production, test, verification, evaluation, integration, and/or operations.

• Experience with vehicle integration for human rated space launch vehicles or similar vehicles.

• Experience with leading/coordinating project lifecycle reviews.

• Experience integrating disciplines for design, analyses, and operation of space vehicles.

• Intermediate skills using Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams & Outlook) are required.

• Excellent written and oral technical communication skills, with the ability to clearly define and describe a technical subject to peers across various engineering disciplines.

• Demonstrated experience developing and delivering project briefings.

• Experience negotiating and collaborating to resolve complex technical problems and breaking down complex problems or issues into manageable pieces.

• Self-motivated, proactive, and effective team players with customer relation skills, familiar with working in a dynamic work environment who are willing to assume a Systems Integration role in this effort.

Desired qualifications and experience (presence of one or more of these qualifications will be used as a selection factor):

• Knowledge of the NASA Space Launch System, its Elements, Interfaces, and Mission Configurations is highly desired.

• Knowledge related to the SPIE hardware, including the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS), Launch Vehicle Stage Adapter (LVSA), and Orion Stage Adapter (OSA).

• Experience in project planning and management as well as leading and facilitating studies of complex aerospace problems involving evaluation of technical, cost, and schedule issues with associated risk is highly desired.

• Experience planning and executing vehicle design and analyses cycles.

• Familiarity with NASA Systems Engineering policies and procedures related to technical management.

• Experience with Space Shuttle vehicle or other similar space vehicles and programs is highly desired.
