Location - NASA Goddard - Greenbelt, MD
Responsibilities:
Providing support to the government for the formulation, design, development, fabrication, integration, testing, verification, and operations of NASA space flight and ground system hardware, including development and validation of new technologies to enable future space and science missions.
We are looking for an Electrical Engineer for the Robot Electronics Unit (REU) in support of the On-Orbit Servicing Assembly and Manufacturing OSAM-1 program.
This position is located at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, MD.
OSAM-1 is a robotic servicing mission designed to refuel a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite.
It contains 3 elements:
the Flight Element comprised of the OSAM-1 Servicing Vehicle (RSV) and development testbeds, the Ground Element comprised of the systems required to conduct RSV operations and the supporting networks and facilities, and the Launch Element comprised of the Launch Vehicle and supporting facilities and services.
The Servicing Payload design, development and RSV integration will be conducted at GSFC.
The engineer will support the OSAM-1 REU team.
The OSAM-1 REU subsystem provides the electrical design, integration, test, and delivery of the electronics that drive OSAM-1's two robotic arms.
This candidate will primarily support testing of electronic board-level and box-level assemblies through flight verification, but may also support analysis, design, or assembly as required.
Develop an in-depth understanding of the REU design and requirementsContribute to the electrical design, test, and integration of hardware.
Work with testing and validating existing designs, but understand hardware and design processes to execute redesigns if necessaryResponsible for developing, designing, documenting, releasing, and testing of hardware requirements within the program's schedule, budget, and technical requirements.
Direct troubleshooting efforts, and locating faults or design flawsManage conceptual design, trade studies, drawing generation, documentation release, and testing requirements.
Incorporate engineering change notices and feedback into the iterative processes for design changes.
Coordinate manufacturing of hardware and harnesses with onsite fabrication resources and offsite vendors.
Maintain documentation of hardware to NASA requirements
Qualifications:
Required Skills:
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, or closely related field with 5
years of related experience.
Experience in analysis, design, documentation, assembly, and/or test of PCBs.
Desire to function in a test/assembly/integration capacity, but also ability to execute changes to existing designsDesign, test, and analysis experience for both analog and digital circuitsMotor controller experienceExperience with hardware integration and test, system verification and validation, and systems engineering, preferably at NASA or in aerospace.
Experience troubleshooting complex systems using various types of test equipment.
Experience in executing tests, including functional testing (front-end, back-end, and performance testing).
Experienced at authoring and maintaining project documentation.
Strong proficiency in resolving technical and schedule issues in order to ensure that deliverables are met on schedule.
Proficiency in advising management, inside and outside own organization, on system architecture, technical results, or risks.
Ability to obtain and maintain NASA Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) certification (GSFC-SH-ESDCO300 300-PG-8730.
