Mechanical Engineer - ( ADV000BIE )
We are launching people to the Moon and Mars. 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.
Responsibilities
Perform hazardous and non-hazardous fluid operations primarily for spacecraft hypergolic propellant loading.
Develop plans, write work authorization documents, lead Task Teams, create software products for the firing room console interaction with the hardware, and execute tests and SLS/Artemis upper stage processing operations.
