If you want to be part of this amazing mission and enjoy working in a great team environment, we would love to have you as part of our team that is making history, today. It takes big ideas and determination to take NASA's vision and make it reality. That's what we do every day.

 

The COMET contract provides overall management and implementation of ground systems capabilities, flight hardware processing, and launch operations at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. These tasks will support the International Space Station, Ground Systems Development and Operations, and the Space Launch System, Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, and Launch Services programs.

 

This is a group lead position within the Mechanisms/Arms & Umbilical’s group of COMET Design Engineering. In this position, the selected Engineer will be responsible for the mentoring younger engineers and providing peer review insight as well as the regular functions of design, development, test, and commissioning of Ground Support Equipment (GSE). The selected Engineer will provide technical engineering direction. Work shall include the development of models and drawings, design review presentations, and support for manufacturing and operations.
