Position Description:

This opportunity will provide systems engineering and system level integration support to the MSFC for the Space Launch System (SLS) Spacecraft Payload Integration Element as part of the MSFC Systems Requirements and Verification Branch (EV72) in the MSFC Systems Engineering and Integration Division (EV70).

The successful candidate will coordinate and interface with multiple engineering disciplines, systems elements, and the SPIE Lead Systems Engineer, participating in reviews, meetings, working groups, task teams, and trade studies.

The candidate will support the development and definition of interfaces for the sub-elements and interfaces between Integrated Spacecraft and Payload Element (ISPE) sub-elements, other SLS vehicle elements, and the Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) and Orion spacecraft programs. Candidate will manage the integrated element architecture through appropriate change management processes for documents and/or deliverables which may include, but is not be limited to, interface documents, design definition documents, functional schematics, trade study reports, and other technical briefing/decision packages.

Responsibilities:

Specific support that will be provided and performed by the candidate includes:

• Manage the SPIE integrated element architecture through development and maintenance of the SPIE internal interfaces specification, the SPIE side of the SPIE-to-Core Stage specification, and the SPIE side of the External Program interfaces (EGS and Orion)
  
  
• Provide direct communication and coordination with the SPIE ELSE and Alternate ELSE to coordinate and manage the integrated element architecture, and plan and execute milestone reviews.
  
  
• Support the definition and development of flight evaluation strategies and flight data analysis tasks (FDAs)
  
  
• Identify, describe, and communicate potential risks related to the products, processes and interactions in the systems engineering processes and document them in the NASA Risk Management System.

Qualifications:

A degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, or Systems Engineering or related field is required. Degree from an ABET accredited university is preferred. Typically, educational requirements are the equivalent of a Masters with at least 3 years of experience, or a BS with at least 5 years of experience.

The candidate is required to have:

• Experience related to complex systems end-to-end development ranging from requirements development, functional design, hardware integration and verification that will ultimately lead to aerospace systems design certification.
• Demonstrated experience working across organizational boundaries and engineering disciplines to identify requirements and resolve vehicle/propulsion systems integration issues.
• Excellent oral, written, and customer relation skills, and be proficient using Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook).
• Are required to be self-directed, effective team players familiar with working in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment who are willing to assume lead roles in the SLS requirements management, verification, and validation planning effort.

Additional desired skills:

The presence of one or more of these qualifications will be used as distinguishing factors in selecting applicants:

• Background consistent with aerospace systems requirements definition, functional design, or design integration.
• An understanding and knowledge of the current SLS program and a working understanding of the SLS Element interfaces.
• Experience in requirements development and maintenance through relational database management and an understanding of digital engineering tools.
