Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Manage the System Safety Office section, leading System Safety Engineers, Pressure Systems and Lifting Devices managers for JPL flight and institutional projects. Oversee hazard analyses, safety data packages, compliance matrices, standards, policies, and documentation; coordinate with NASA and internal organizations, support proposals and budgets, perform independent safety assessments, and drive strategic planning, staffing, and process improvements.

Design and analyze optical systems (telescopes, cameras, imaging spectrometers) for space and ground instruments. Perform optical design trades, detailed ray-trace analysis, create and maintain performance error budgets, and support alignment, testing, calibration, and hardware development through delivery.

Lead R&D and technical tasks in advanced communications and signal processing for RF, optical, and quantum links. Drive proposals, strategy, and technical leadership across channel coding, data compression, modulation, receivers, arraying, synchronization, PNT, ranging, and machine learning for space communications.

Perform electrical design reviews and construction inspections, evaluate specifications and power system studies, approve plans, develop and maintain electrical safety compliance documentation, conduct hazard analyses and review contractor safety plans, advise JPL/Federal partners on electrical safety, and support audits and corrective actions.

Perform technical QA/QC reviews of electrical design and construction for facilities projects to ensure compliance with NEC/CEC and JPL standards; evaluate load studies, grounding, lighting, power distribution, constructability, and compatibility with existing infrastructure; produce written review comments in Bluebeam, verify corrections, maintain QA/QC records, participate in design reviews, and support continuous improvement.

Serve as technical lead for pressure system safety and NDT programs: interpret ASME/API codes, train and certify NDT personnel, oversee inspections, approve procedures, liaise with NASA and external agencies, and manage NDT program personnel and standards.

Perform QA/QC reviews of electrical design drawings, calculations, and specifications for code compliance, constructability, and maintainability. Provide written technical feedback, review resubmittals, support commissioning and acceptance testing, maintain QA records, and help develop QA standards and checklists.

Lead technical oversight and compliance for EMCS/SCADA/OT across facilities: design reviews, network/protocol integration, software/version control, metering, SCADA security compliance, standards development, project commissioning, and mentoring stakeholders and subcontractors to meet NASA/JPL policies and energy goals.

Build, maintain, analyze, and report Integrated Master Schedules (IMS). Validate schedule/cost baseline integrity, perform DCMA 14-Point assessments, support change control, produce schedule risk analyses and EV/QBD data, and present schedule findings to technical leadership.

Design, analyze, tolerate, align, test, and calibrate telescopes, cameras, and imaging spectrometers. Perform ray tracing (CODE V or Zemax), hardware integration, optical alignment, and measurement. Contribute to optical system architecture, error budgets, and present engineering results while collaborating across teams.
