Job Description

Job Description

Description:

TriVector Services, Inc. provides quality aerospace engineering solutions to complex problems through a renowned team of engineering professionals. We are a Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned, SBA-certified Small Business headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama. Our experienced team is dedicated to building lasting partnerships based on professional integrity and sound engineering principles. TriVector's Experience and exceptional Performance adds measurable Value to every project. TriVector Services, Inc., is seeking qualified candidates to fill our Systems Engineer - Avionics Analysis position.  

The Systems Engineer-Avionics Analysis position supports the NASA Space Launch System (SLS) Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) labs at Marshall Space Flight center in Huntsville Alabama. The HWIL labs include the System Integration and Test Facility (SITF), Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL), and multiple Software Development Facilities (SDFs) used to verify the integrated avionics and software systems for the SLS rocket. All labs and emulators include  complex, real-time software models integrated with electrical/avionics systems to provide detailed simulation of the SLS rocket. 

This position is responsible for providing services and support for the Software Systems Engineering Branch (ES51). This branch is responsible for the requirements, test, analysis, configuration management, systems engineering, and “day of launch” operations support for the Space Launch System (SLS) Integrated Avionics Test Facilities (IATF). Data from executed tests along with proprietary tools are used for data analysis and avionics verification.

Primary Activities involved with this position include, but are not limited to:

• Become a subject matter expert on a library of flight avionics requirements and how to analyze. them in test data. This will include in depth knowledge of the requirements and how the SLS works.
• Design and execute analysis plans from executed test data of HWIL simulation systems.
• Participate in defining and designing requirements or Detailed Verification Objectives (DVO).
• Write technical documents including analysis plans and reports to address verification requirements.
• Evaluate test data to correlate with test findings and investigate potential anomalies.
• Communicate, clear and crisp insights and observations of performance of integrated systems.
• Be an ambitious self-starter and product owner of a library of flight avionics analysis procedures. Be willing to initiate contact with other groups to resolve problems.
• Work with associated Systems Engineering teams, Software Development teams, Test teams, and Electrical Integration teams to ensure tests and analyses meet technical intent and appropriately verify system capabilities and behaviors.

Secondary Activities involved with this position include, but are not limited to:

• Design, execute, and debug system-level avionics test plans.
• Develop test case software using a language such as Python, XML, or C.
• Use a Linux based platform and demonstrate familiarity with basic Linux commands, including vi.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Must be a U.S. citizen and have a STAR ID.
• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related STEM field is required. 
• Must have at least 5 years of applicable experience. 
• This is a senior level position that requires broad and “on the ground” technical capability to design and execute data analysis of real-time HWIL systems to verify avionics functionality. Good project management skills are needed to define and plan the activities. Problem solving, debug, and hands-on use of test and analysis equipment will be required.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Degree from an ABET-accredited university is preferred. 
• Experience with NASA or flight avionics data analysis or system test.
• Experience with design, development, execution, and analysis of analysis plans or system test plans.
• The ability to perform detailed Data Analysis of Requirements and Detailed Verification Objectives (DVOs) for test development, and post test data analysis.
• Experience with hardware-in-the loop labs (HWIL).
• Developing software test cases or scripts via a language such as Python ,XML, or C is a plus.
• DOORS or DNG experience.
• Ability to perform hands-on integration and troubleshooting support, including proficiency with basic lab hardware and software diagnostic tools.
• Writing technical documents associated with data analysis or testing.
• Ability to work in a team environment.
