Overview\:
The HLS Ascent Segment Lead Engineer stewards a team of engineers across NASA centers that perform independent navigation analysis and simulation for the Human Lander System (HLS) program to assess and communicate risk to the HLS Chief Engineer and HLS commercial partners. This position will require demonstrated strong leadership and communications skills as well as strong technical background, including flight mechanics, modeling and sim, and other GNC experience.
The Amentum Space Exploration Division (ASED) Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) team is a high performing group executing challenging tasks to design and integrate GN&C systems for NASA projects ranging from NASA’s Space Launch System(SLS) to NASA’s Human Lander System. We are searching for highly qualified candidates to support this team at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. This exciting work will serve as a critical step in sending humans back to the Moon, Mars and beyond
ASED offers a partnership in which you can grow personally and professionally within a framework of strong leadership, competitive compensation, and rewarding career paths. Come join our team
Description\:
Serves as Technical Points of Contact for top level requirements and therefore will be responsible for coordinating the NASA certification of the requirements through reviewing the Verification Events/DVOs,hazard reports,
testing that is relevant to this phase (i.e., optical navigation, NRI burn accuracy), etc. (planning, execution, and post-test evaluation) Have a thorough understanding of the condition of the vehicle on the surface through NRI through insight activities including
Integrated vehicle performance
Hardware performance
Communication with EVA and Earth
Crew interactions including EVA and inspection of the vehicle post landing and pre-launch
Launch preparation & planning
vehicle functional design (HW/SW interactions, Fault protections, modalities, abort scenarios in this segment, etc.)
Vehicle monitoring during ascent and coast phase
Monitor need for Trajectory correction maneuvers to minimize errors at NRHO insertion Works with DLs to ensure HLS vehicle performance on ascent are within subsystem design parameters and are consistent with other subsystem performance per the expected ascent environment (dynamic lighting, thermal, communication conditions, etc.).
Writes and maintains an Insight Plan; ensures that the requested level of insight requested by the DLs is adequate for the integrated analysis needed for the Ascent segment
Maintains awareness of how events in other mission segments may impact the Ascent segment
Considers contingency and abort scenarios; identifies trades or insight needed to characterize vehicle contingency performance; works with provider and/or DLs to identify tests, analysis, etc.
Identify concern items and risks; develop mitigation strategies and trigger dates
Travels to various locations for testing, TIMs, F2F meetings, etc. as needed.
Sets up Technical Interchange Meetings to address specific technical and integration issues
Weekly and monthly reporting of activities
Review HLS for milestone reviews and major project reviews.
Identifies and defines tasks for analysis cycles.
