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.

  • 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.

  • Working knowledge of NASA Procedural Requirements and configuration standards.

  • Proven ability to perform audits, discrepancy investigations, and data corrections.

  • Strong customer support skills - able to train, mentor, and resolve user issues.



Requisition Preferences:

  • 7+ years of direct Configuration or Data Management experience, with at least 3 years supporting NASA's JEDII/Windchill or equivalent enterprise PLM system.

  • Experience in EDCC operations at JSC or equivalent government/prime contractor drawing control environments.

  • Familiarity with ICE, Confluence, SharePoint, or similar collaboration/documentation tools.
