AER0000MJ– Systems Engineer – Space Launch System Stages C&DH Interface Integration
Responsibilities:
This opportunity will provide systems engineering and interface integration support to the Systems Definition & Integration Branch/EV72 for the integration of the Space Launch System (SLS) Command & Data Handling (C&DH) interfaces for the Stages Element.
The successful candidate will coordinate and interface with the SLS Stages project team and personnel, the Stages Element Prime Contractor team and personnel, the SLS team and personnel, and the Ground Systems Development and Operations (GSDO) Program team and personnel as well as participate in reviews, meetings, working groups, and trade studies.
Systems engineering support that will be provided and performed includes:
- Design definition, requirements development, and verification planning for the Stages command and data handling interfaces and telemetry as well as their associated hardware.
- Manage and provide insight of the Stages Element Prime Contractor Command and Data Handling (C&DH) document for C&DH functional interface definition.
- Manage and provide insight of the Stages Element Prime Contractor Command and Data Handling (C&DH) document for the listing of the Stages commend and telemetry messages.
- Manage and provide insight of the Stages Element Prime Contractor Command and Data Handling (C&DH) document for the Stages bus profiles.
- Provide thorough technical assessments of all proposed software and C&DH interface requirements to understand the impacts imposed by modifications.
- Generate and coordinate C&DH interface requirements and related software documentation to ensure the necessary and complete integration of the Stages Element hardware, software, commands, and telemetry.
- Identify and communicate risks associated with interface requirements via the NASA Risk Management System.
Additional responsibilities may include leading and/or supporting the following systems engineering tasks:
- Development of key system engineering products for program/project milestones.
- Management of the Stages C&DH interface requirements and analysis cycles through the development, maturation, and control of requirements and/or specifications.
- Integration of the Stages C&DH interface technical decisions and concerns with SLS, GSDO, and Orion program/project stakeholders and with a variety of engineering disciplines across multiple NASA Centers.
- Performance of critical mission event and process improvement studies including affordability improvement activities focused on improving overall element design, systems integration, operational efforts, or life cycle costs.
- Document and control of the C&DH systems through controlling documents and deliverables which may include interface requirements and control documents, functional schematics, trade study reports, and other technical briefing and/or decision packages.
