The successful candidate will join the Facilities Operations team to support the Center Maintenance, Operations, and Engineering Contract (CMOE) located at NASA Langley Research Center. This position reports directly to the Transonic Dynamics Tunnel (TDT) supervisor. All work will be performed with a high standard of quality and professionalism.  All safety policies and procedures must be followed.

Responsibilities    

Plans, executes, and closes out discrete wind tunnel test programs for various customers. Leads teams of engineers and technicians to accomplish these test programs. Establishes test timeline, manages all test-related data and documentation, and evaluates final test data for quality and completeness. Duties also include identifying and implementing process improvements, determining required facility upgrades, and producing/delivering technical papers and presentations when warranted.

Performs a variety of routine engineering tasks designed to provide experience and familiarization with engineering methods, practices, and programs Applies commonly used equations and techniques to solve assigned problems Applies standard techniques, procedures, and criteria in carrying out a sequence of related engineering tasks May perform specific and limited engineering tasks of a broader assignment Prepares computations, specifications, and reports of limited scope and complexity Independently evaluates, selects, and applies standard engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria; makes minor adaptations and modifications as required Independently performs project assignments that involve complex features and can be guided by codes, standards, procedures, and other precedents of discipline Evaluates the results of an analysis using techniques prescribed by senior engineers or supervisors Accomplishes complete tasks of limited scope and solves problems which require investigation of a limited number of variables Balance scope, schedule, and budget to ensure project success *
