Join the JETSII team as a Configuration and Data Management Specialist, Product Lifecycle supporting NASA's Engineering Drawing Control Center (EDCC) and the JSC Engineering Design Information Infrastructure (JEDII) — NASA's enterprise Windchill environment. We are looking for a technical professional who brings mastery of configuration management practices, thrives in structured data environments, and can serve as a trusted resource to engineers, project managers, and NASA customers.

This role requires not just familiarity, but command of JEDII/Windchill tools and processes — someone who can navigate baselines, workflows, audits, and discrepancies with precision, while ensuring the integrity of engineering data that enables human spaceflight.

We are looking for someone who is more than a participant in the JEDII system — but a JEDII Master:

• Confident navigating baselines, workflows, and drawing lifecycles.
• Able to bridge the gap between engineering teams and data integrity requirements.
• A proactive problem-solver who strengthens the JETSII team's reputation as trusted stewards of NASA's technical data.

Responsibilities

• Execute and enforce configuration management processes within JEDII, ensuring compliance with NASA standards (NPRs, JSC Directives, ASME Y14 series).
• Control, review, and release engineering drawings, GFE documentation, and as-built facility records across JSC, Ellington Field, and the Sonny Carter Training Facility.
• Provide day-to-day EDCC support, including drawing research, part data reconciliation, serial/lot tracking, and historical record maintenance.
• Serve as a JEDII power user: guide, train, and consult with engineers and project staff, ensuring effective use of workflows, versioning, and approvals.
• Investigate and resolve discrepancies in drawing packages, audits, and documentation deliverables.
• Maintain configuration status accounting and produce traceability reports in support of program reviews and audits.
• Develop and refine CM/DM work instructions and best practices for the JETSII team.
• Collaborate with cross-program stakeholders to ensure accurate, timely, and compliant data flow.

Resumes, in month and year format, must be submitted with application in order to be considered for the position.
