Spacecraft Water Impurity Monitor Engineering Technologist
*

Are you passionate about human space exploration, understanding the origins of the universe, and working with a passionate and diverse team to make a difference? If you are, we need you     

We need your talent, teamwork, and energy to help us achieve great things that inspire people all over the globe. We need you to bring creative ideas and diverse backgrounds to help us envision, shape, and deliver systems that will enable the exploration of space while benefiting people here on Earth. We are excited about what we do, and we need you on our team as we take on exciting challenges for NASA’s pursuits in deep space exploration. As NASA’s largest engineering solutions provider working together with NASA at centers across the United States. 

We have an exciting opportunity for a Spacecraft Water Impurity Monitor Engineering Technologist to join the team with HX5, a teammate company.

As an Engineering Technologist on the Spacecraft Water Impurity Monitor (SWIM) project team you will\:

Report directly to the Section Manager and Task Order/Project Manager, and provide direct support to the NASA project Technical Lead Engineer (TLE) and Instrument Systems Lead (ISL) for tasking. Work in a laboratory environment with an interdisciplinary team of skilled and motivated engineers and scientists. Develop hardware that monitors chemical contaminants in spacecraft water that protects astronaut health and safety, and ensures proper operation of vehicle Environmental Control and Life Support (ECLS) systems. Devise solutions to challenging problems in fabrication and assembly of miniaturized chemical instrumentation. Apply technical knowledge and creativity to simultaneously satisfy structural, thermal, and fluidic requirements. Work on hardware that demands exactness and attention to detail. Many of these hardware items are small, requiring a delicate touch, and often requires working under magnification. Many of these components must meet strict cleanliness requirements, and demand clean work practices. Perform assembly and light fabrication of both developmental and flight hardware. Fabricate and assemble test stands and support equipment, both temporary and permanent. Construct frames and enclosures from aluminum extrusions, panels, brackets, and hardware. Install and connect fluidic, electrical, mechanical, and thermal components. Support design and build of fixtures, jigs, and assembly aids. Develop documentation of procedures for hardware assembly, test, and processing using a combination of written instructions and visual aids, including diagrams and photographs. Develop techniques, procedures, and documentation for the application of polymeric materials. Open and view CAD models using Creo Parametric and “build to model" when necessary. Set up and operate electrical test equipment, such as power supplies, multimeters, oscilloscopes, waveform generators, and data loggers. Select and deploy transducers, such as pressure transducers, flow meters, thermocouples, and load cells. Select and deploy actuators, such as solenoid valves, proportional valves, pressure controllers, stepper motors, and heaters. Create setups and perform measurements using precision mechanisms and metrology equipment, such as surface plates, gauge blocks, height gauges, dial indicators, micrometers, translation stages, and air bearings. Design cross-domain tests and test setups using combinations of test equipment, transducers, actuators, and metrology equipment outlined above, in conjunction with custom-designed hardware. Execute tests; process and document results. Use machine tools (e.g. mill, lathe, drill press) at the Innovation Design Center (machine shop) to fabricate simple parts and modify existing parts. Participate in building wire harnesses and cables to print, meeting workmanship requirements. This includes wire stripping, contact crimping, hand soldering, contact/connector assembly, wire bundling, application of overbraid, heat shrink tubing, and cable lace. Test and inspect cables for connectivity and workmanship. Participate in building wire harnesses and cables, when provided with only a connectivity diagram and/or verbal instructions. Select materials and construction techniques to build prototype versions of flight cables/harnesses, document results, and assist engineers in drafting complete flight drawings. Troubleshoot and repair project/laboratory equipment. Perform periodic maintenance on laboratory systems and equipment. Facilitate calibration of laboratory measurement equipment with NASA-operated calibration labs, as well as outside vendors. Perform physical duties as required. Must be capable of lifting/handling loads up to 40 pounds, climbing ladders, and being on one's feet for much of the day. *
