We have an exciting opportunity for a Materials & Processes Engineer to join the JETSII Contract. The Materials & Processes Systems will support NASA’s pursuits in deep space exploration.
Job Responsibility:
Advise, guide, and provide consultation on requirements for Materials & Processes (M&P) for intravehicular (IVA) and extravehicular (EVA) environments, including materials selection, process control and qualification, design for corrosion prevention, electrical bonding, flammability, toxic offgassing, and processes specification
Assist in review and development of hardware, analysis, operation, hazard reviews, anomaly resolution, requirements verification, re-flight assessments, and flight acceptance testing
Formulate presentations and present to program boards as appropriate
Implement M&P system requirements into hardware design and develop verification and validation plans and statements
Provide input to program/project specifications and ensure appropriate materials requirements are incorporated into all program/project specifications at the right level
Review project/program documentation, specifications, and engineering drawings to ensure M&P requirements are met for spaceflight hardware
Assess whether standard vendor processes meet requirements, and if not, clearly define changes that need to be implemented
Provide vendors with recommendations for qualification and acceptance testing that will properly satisfy verification of requirements
Provide inspection and manufacturing process support for human space flight system
Other duties as required
Requirements:
Typically requires a bachelor’s degree in Engineering and a minimum of 2-5 years of experience in the field or in the field or in a related area
