HLS Engineer - APS Systems

Responsibilities Primary duties for the HLS Engineer- APS Systems may include, but are not limited Follow and understand the HLS partner Systems Engineering approach to design, development, integration and test. Data analysis and anomaly resolution as needed. Review and provide assessments of HLS provider deliverables (such as milestone products, hazards, verifications, risks, and test reports). Support of the Human Lander program through technical insight by providing reviews and risk assessment and recommendations on NASA-partner engine systems and vehicle propulsion system design and development. Provide systems insight and lead risk mitigation efforts for Artemis III through Artemis V propulsion systems, identifying technical and programmatic risks and ensuring alignment with NASA safety, mission assurance, and flight readiness objectives. Lead systems engineering efforts for thruster integration, coordinating across multidisciplinary teams to ensure propulsion system requirements, interface control, and verification objectives are met in support of mission success. Develop models and analysis tools, provide analytical documentation such as trade studies, hazards assessments, fault tolerance designs, certifications for flight, launch vehicle data reviews. Provide insight and recommendations for subsystem and in-space environment model fidelity. Evaluate performance of system models in ground and flight operations. Attend technical interchange, project planning, design review and other appropriate meetings to maintain a current knowledge base of design, requirements, issues, action items, and resolution activities. Perform system assessments, identify issues, pursue resolutions, document and present to engineering review board with rationale and recommendations. Evaluate vehicle changes for impacts to propulsion elements and vehicle integration. Verification and validation reviews for propulsion components, subsystems and integrated vehicle. Perform analysis and provide systems engineering skills to support various program engineering and integration.
