Are you passionate about human space exploration, understanding the origins of the universe, and working with a passionate and diverse team to make a difference? If you are, we need you!

We need your talent, teamwork, and energy to help us achieve great things that inspire people all over the globe. We need you to bring creative ideas and diverse backgrounds to help us envision, shape, and deliver systems that will enable the exploration of space while benefiting people here on Earth. We are excited about what we do, and we need you on our team as we take on exciting challenges for NASA’s pursuits in deep space exploration. As NASA’s largest engineering solutions provider working together with NASA at centers across the United States.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Mid Career Spaceflight Hardware Propulsion Engineer to join the team with ERC, a teammate company!

** We are actively searching for qualified candidates for this potential opening; however, we do not have assurance at this time when the position will be finalized and opened. Because we have strong reason to believe the position will be approved soon, we are proceeding with identifying qualified candidates and conducting interviews. **

The Mid Career Spaceflight Hardware Propulsion Engineer will:

Apply fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, materials, structures, and machine-design principles to propulsion and spacecraft pressure systems.
Independently perform or lead propulsion and pressure-system analyses.
Develop, review, and validate fluid-flow, pressure-system, thermodynamic, and thermal models.
Develop and maintain engineering analysis and data-processing tools using Python, MATLAB, or similar software.
Evaluate system architectures and lead or contribute to technical trade studies.
Establish technical assumptions, document analysis methods, and communicate results and limitations.
Assess component-to-system and system-to-vehicle technical effects.
Provide technical oversight of propulsion components, suppliers, and hardware-development activities.
Review designs, drawings, material selections, fabrication methods, assembly processes, and acceptance criteria.
Support or lead propulsion hardware development from concept through fabrication, assembly, test, integration, and operation.
Plan, coordinate, witness, or evaluate component- and system-level tests.
Review acceptance-test data, qualification reports, verification evidence, and flight-readiness documentation.
Evaluate test results and determine whether the available evidence satisfies technical and program requirements.
Lead or support investigations of anomalies, nonconformances, and unexpected system behavior.
Develop technically defensible recommendations for issue disposition and risk mitigation.
Review and coordinate closure of variances, nonconformance reports, hazard reports, changes, waivers, reuse documentation, and certification action items.
Develop verification approaches and support formal certification of propulsion systems and flight hardware.
Assess pressure-system safety, cleanliness, contamination-control, and hardware-integration requirements.
Support propulsion-system integration with spacecraft, test vehicles, or small satellites.
Coordinate technical activities with NASA program and project offices, spacecraft organizations, suppliers, prime contractors, sub-tier contractors, and international partners.
Organize and track concurrent document reviews, technical issues, risks, and action items.
Delegate or coordinate reviews with appropriate hardware and technical points of contact.
Prepare and present technical status, risks, nonconformances, and recommendations to program stakeholders.
Participate in mission simulations, vehicle checkouts, propulsion console operations, and flight support.
Provide technical guidance and mentoring to less-experienced engineers.
Travel to supplier, test, integration, launch, or program locations when required.
Perform other duties as required.
