Description

Description - External

SAIC offers exciting and challenging opportunities to support NASA’s present and future human spaceflight programs at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas under the Safety and Mission Assurance Engineering (SMAEC II) Contract. This is an exciting time to be making history with the NASA SMA team assuring continuous human presence on the International Space Station and returning humans to the Moon and then to Mars safely. You will work in a collaborative environment comprised of NASA engineers, Mission Control personnel and astronauts. You will apply design and operations knowledge and expertise in various areas of SMA such as system safety, reliability, quality engineering and assurance, software, probabilistic risk assessment, and others.

The NASA EVA and HSM Program seeks to work with partners to advance the technologies associated with human mobility and lunar surface infrastructure in support of NASA's Artemis missions. This position offers an exciting and challenging opportunity to support NASA’s Gateway program. As the Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility (EHP) Integrated Hazard Analysis (IHA) author , you will apply your knowledge and expertise of EVA safety requirements, processes, tools and products to develop mission level safety analyses of NASA human spaceflight missions. You will be providing hazard analysis for the next generation spacesuit and spacewalk systems to explore the lunar surface on the Artemis mission, work outside the International Space Station and prepare for missions to Mars.

Specific tasks include:

• Support Systems Requirement Review, Preliminary and Critical Design Reviews of EHP systems hardware, provide engineering evaluations against design and safety requirements.
• Serve as the EVA Author for the Gateway Integrated Hazard Analysis Reports
• Primary SRQA representative for Integrated Hazard Analysis development
• Ensures accuracy of compiled analyses from various organizations including Program Integrated Hazard Causes
• Identify and resolve issues that impact the Integrated Hazard Causes
• Provide technical engineering support to NASA Gateway Program Representatives to decision-making boards and panels.
• Evaluate safety and mission assurance impacts of proposed engineering changes to EHP hardware and processes
• Assess Failure Modes and Effects Analyses and Critical Items for S&MA engineering for accuracy and completeness.
• Assess Gateway hardware Problem Reports to ensure that they capture safety and reliability issues.
• U.S. Citizenship Required
