Objective:

Submit your CV and any additional required information after you have read this description by clicking on the application button.
The JETS Space Environments team is seeking a Space Environments Engineer to provide systems engineering and multidisciplinary technical analysis/modeling support to the different NASA JSC programs.
Responsibilities:


  • Provide support to the NASA JSC programs in the definition of natural and induced space environments.
  • Provide systems engineering support to the NASA JSC programs in space environments requirements and verification activities, working in concert with NASA civil servants and designated contractors.
  • Evaluate induced environmental hazards between elements or vehicles over the operational life period.
  • Conduct systems engineering trade studies to identify potential risks and mitigations.
  • Develop and update semi-empirical and theoretical models.
  • Analyze/model molecular contamination and transport of contaminants from materials outgassing lunar dust, vacuum venting, and rocket engine thruster plumes onto elements/vehicles.
  • Analyze optical property impacts from molecular contamination with exposure to the orbital environment (ultraviolet radiation, ionizing radiation, and atomic oxygen).
  • Analyze/model plasma effects and spacecraft charging.
  • Analyze/model radiation transport and effects on element hardware.
  • Assess the compatibility of spacecraft hardware with natural and induced space environments.
  • Perform other duties as required.

    Requisition Qualifications:

    • Requires a bachelor's degree in engineering and a minimum of 2 - 5 years of experience in the field or in a related area.
    • 3 or more years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience (e.g., M.S. or Ph.D.).
    • Experience using Microsoft Office Suite.
    • Experience in Computer Programming.
    • Strong analytical and computational skills.
    • Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary field.
    • Effective written and verbal communication skills.

      Requisition Preferences:

      • Bachelor's degree or higher in Engineering (Aerospace, Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, Nuclear), Physics, or Chemistry.
      • M.S. or Ph.D. in Engineering.
      • 5 or more years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience (e.g. M.S. or Ph.D.).
      • GPA 3.0 or higher.
      • Knowledge of natural and induced Space Environments (Cislunar - Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO), Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geostationary Orbit (GEO), and High Earth Orbit (HEO)).
      • Knowledge of GCR, solar wind/ plasma, CMEs/SEPs, solar irradiance, micrometeoroid, and cislunar gravity models and definitions.
      • Knowledge of lunar dust characteristics and effects.
      • Experience with developing software to implement analytical models.
      • Experience with materials outgassing, molecular transport, thin film deposition, optical property degradation, molecular gas dynamics, and/or multi-phase flows.
      • Experience with hypergolic and Hall Effect thrusters' operation as well as associated plume characteristics.
      • Experience with plasma charging analyses, ionizing radiation analyses, and/or related tools (NASCAP, SPIS, IRI, AE9/AP9, CREME96, SHIELDOSE, ESP/PHYCHIC, etc).
      • Experience with external contamination/molecular deposition analysis codes and/or tools (e.g., Tecplot, NX, HyperWorks, ParaView, Matlab, LS Dyna, etc.).
      • Experience with the Gateway Program, other NASA programs, and/or other space projects.
      • Experience with the LINUX operating system.
