Key Responsibilities
  • Design and develop softgoods, mechanical, and electromechanical systems, subsystems, and components for thermal protection on cargo vehicles and human-rated flight vehicles.
  • Apply engineering knowledge and principles to perform or oversee stress, thermal, and fluid dynamics analysis to achieve desired fit, form, and function.
  • Maintain a high level of technical excellence for all tasks to ensure the highest quality of technical products, including test setups, test operations, development setups, development operations, documentation generation, execution, and closeout.
  • Perform or oversee part tolerance analysis utilizing Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing and understand the impact of thermal contraction/expansion from the surrounding thermal environment to ensure fit and function.
  • Have a good understanding of Aerospace-grade metallic and non-metallic material properties typically used for lightweight high-strength TPS design applications.
  • Be able to generate or support the development of interface drawings that define detailed features for mechanical and thermal system interfaces for the hardware and TPS being developed.
  • Be able to design unique test fixtures and methods for test programs.
  • Be able to generate or support the development of requirement specifications, requirement verification, and required system documentation such as procedures and hazard analyses.
  • Have the ability to present design concepts, design features, and design details in presentation format (e.g., PowerPoint) at various design gate reviews such that the audience can clearly understand how the performance requirements were incorporated into the design, the design is producible and affordable, and is or can be verified as meeting the requirement set.
  • Be able to work in a team environment that crosses multi-functional groups such as Design/Drafting, Analysis, Production, Quality Assurance, Health and Safety, Project/Program management, Accounting/Finance.
  • Have a good understanding of Manufacturing/Production process for hardware and softgoods products such that designs are producible at a reasonable price.
  • Have a good understanding of structural and thermal analysis processes in the development of hardware and softgoods such that the design(s) will withstand anticipated environments and perform fit, form, and function after exposure to the environments.
  • Be able to perform technical and safety risk assessment and mitigation.
Requirements
  • BS or MS in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with 3-5 plus years direct experience in development of Thermal Protection Systems for launch vehicles and systems.
  • Knowledge and experience in softgoods thermal protection systems design and development, including familiarity with softgoods fabrication methods and techniques.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills.
  • US Citizenship required.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Ability to perform CAD modeling and generate manufacturing drawings using Solid Works or Pro-E Creo.
  • Experience with ASME Y14.5 drawing standards and/or NASA Engineering Drawing System Manual JSC JPR 8500.
  • Familiarization with JSC Fabrication Tolerances and Practices (SKZ).
  • Experience with spacecraft thermal protection systems.
  • Experience with softgoods design and development.
  • Experience with test support equipment and fixtures.
  • Familiarity with writing assembly procedures and technical reports.
  • Familiarity with testing such as thermal testing, structural testing, and life testing.
  • Experience using LabVIEW.
