This position is responsible for coordinating and interfacing with multiple Human Landing Systems (HLS) engineering disciplines, system elements, cross-program elements, and customers in the development of the HLS Cargo Lander. This is an exciting and challenging leadership position that requires creativity, innovation, collaboration, and consensus building with HLS leadership and technical experts across virtually all disciplines and functions. This position combines a need for clear and strategic thinking, project management skills, and a dedication to documenting information gathered and developed.

We are looking for an integral team player who works collaboratively with others, and who can also work independently, coordinate projects, develop, and learn new skills, and maintain communication with various stakeholders while working on multiple simultaneous projects. The primary focus of this position is providing systems engineering and integration support to the Systems Design and Definition Branch (EV72) for the Human Landing System (HLS) Cargo Lander and to the MSFC Systems Engineering and Integration Division (EV70).

The selected candidate will support the development of key systems engineering products including interface requirement documents, support program/project milestones and subsequent activities where these products are assessed and matured. The selected candidate will also work with HLS customers/partners from inception to deployment to ensure stakeholder needs are satisfied.

The system engineering support that the candidate will perform includes:

Provide technical integration with other engineering disciplines, Human Landing System elements, and cross-program elements, including risk-based insight/oversight through traceability and assessment of interface design activities.

Support Human Landing System element and/or subsystem design trades and analysis necessary to validate the requirements, maintain control of the system baseline, and continually track compliance of the system requirements during design, development, testing, and evaluation.

Perform thorough technical assessments of proposed internal and external interface requirements to understand the impacts imposed by modifications.

Provide support for Design Analysis Cycle (DAC) planning, execution, coordination, and integration for the interface definition and interface control requirements to assure design compliance.

Communicate issues, best practices, lessons-learned and other technical findings related to systems engineering, requirements management, and integration practices and procedures.

Identify, describe, and communicate potential risks related to the products, processes and interactions in the systems engineering processes and document them in the NASA Risk Management System.
