Houston, United States The Aerospace Corporation Full time

The Vehicle Systems Division (VSD) sits at the center of the ideas and data behind current and future systems supplying innovative research and development; technical evaluations during the acquisition process; conceptual and detailed design; assembly, integration, and test; and operational support. Comprised primarily of highly-trained mechanical and aerospace engineers, VSD provides national expertise in the areas of vehicle engineering; guidance, navigation, and controls; robotics; electro-mechanical devices; embedded systems; fluid mechanics; propulsion; thermal control; orbital mechanics; mechanisms; structures; structural dynamics; and dynamic environments. Our Propulsion team provides expert technical assistance for spacecraft propulsion systems used on a broad range of space vehicles, from technology development through on-orbit operations. You will collaborate with our NASA customer and industry contractors to ensure the success of high-priority space missions with challenging propulsion requirements. Your work will potentially involve propulsion system development, manufacture, testing, and operations for multiple programs. You must be willing to learn a broad range of new technologies and systems, and confidently advise customers in making critical decisions. The ideal candidate will be hired into VSD/Engineering and Technology Group (ETG) and will primarily support the Civil Systems Group (CSG) Program Office to work with NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) Engineering Directorate’s Propulsion and Power Systems Division. Work Model This is a full-time, 100% onsite position at NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, TX. What You’ll Be Doing You will be supporting the development of advanced spacecraft propulsion systems for national space missions, using new technologies to allow more responsive operations: Participate in the overall design, development, test and evaluation of propulsion systems, propellant tanking and delivery subsystems Develop program requirements, risks, and hazards; evaluate inspection, analysis, and test products to support verification or risk/hazard reduction Participate in and/or lead technical interchange meetings, hardware reviews, flight data reviews, Preliminary Design Reviews, Critical Design Reviews; plan, coordinate, manage, evaluate, and report upon analyses, studies, and tests of components and systems Resolve unique or novel problems, conditions, and issues as related to the assigned propulsion systems development Perform technical evaluation of chemical propulsion systems used for spacecraft programs Review contractor products and NASA defined requirements to verify requirement compliance and general propulsion system efficiency and effectivity Provide real-time support during test, launch, and operations of spacecraft propulsion systems Function as propulsion system liaison for flight Anomaly Resolution and In-Flight Investigation reviews, capable of solving propulsion questions with low levels of information Maintain awareness of NASA propulsion activities by being an active participant in technical, safety, and integration working groups and meetings Prepare reports and presentations to communicate results and recommendations to Aerospace program offices and NASA Develop technical and progress reports covering assigned tasks which are made available to other technical groups and agencies What You Need to be Successful Minimum Requirements: Bachelor's degree in a STEM field is required At least 6 years of professional engineering/scientific experience, including experience in a systems engineering and/or project management environment is required Experience with in-space spacecraft chemical propulsion systems and propellant tank / delivery subsystems Experience with design, development, qualification, and acceptance requirements for pressure fed in space bi-prop NTO/MMH engines Demonstrated ability to effectively communicate and integrate solutions across engineering disciplines and diverse teams Knowledge of fundamental and advanced engineering principles in aerospace, mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics used in the design, evaluation and optimization of propulsion and propellant systems for space flight vehicles Knowledge of space flight certification processes to ensure performance and safety requirements are met (including knowledge of NPR 7120, EA-WI-023, or equivalent DoD processes) Knowledge in the design and development of major elements of ground test and space flight systems required to demonstrate the utilization of propulsion and propellant systems Willingness to occasionally travel domestically and support customer needs, approximately 10% (as required) This position requires ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance, which is issued by the U.S. government; U.S. citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance. How You Can Stand Out It would be impressive if you have one or more of these: Advanced degree in a STEM field is highly desired 10+ years of professional engineering/scientific experience, including experience in a systems engineering and/or project management environment is strongly preferred Completed course work in astrodynamics, combustion, control theory, systems engineering/design Familiarity with a variety of spacecraft propulsion systems Knowledge of space system engineering practices and standards Experience with hot fire testing or working with storable propellant chemical rocket engines Experience in hypergolic propulsion systems and/or refueling Experience in structural analysis capable of verifying compliance with requirements for stress factors of safety, fatigue, etc Familiarity working with international partners and human space flight Knowledge and understanding of the NASA and/or DoD program life cycle Exposure performing in or leading technical and programmatic tasks for NASA Experience in aerospace industry project management and working closely with customers and/or contractor Additional propulsion experience is highly desirable
