Space Environments Engineer III-IV
Company Profile Oceaneering Space Systems (OSS) is a precision engineering and manufacturing group which specializes in turn-key design, development, manufacturing, certification, maintenance, and testing of extra-vehicular and intra-vehicular (EVA & IVA) tools and equipment for astronauts; including life support and environmental control systems for space; robotic systems for military, space, and biological research; and thermal protection systems for launch vehicles. We also provide specialized engineering and support services in these areas, and astronaut training in NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory. Oceaneering is a global provider of engineered services and products, primarily to the offshore energy industry. We develop products and services for use throughout the lifecycle of an offshore oilfield, from drilling to decommissioning. We operate the world's premier fleet of work class ROVs. Additionally, we are a leader in offshore oilfield maintenance services, umbilicals, subsea hardware, and tooling. We also use applied technology expertise to serve the defense, entertainment, material handling, aerospace, science, and renewable energy industries. Position Summary The Space Environments Engineer will provide systems engineering and multidisciplinary technical analysis/modeling support to the Gateway Program. Duties & Responsibilities Provide support to the Gateway Program in the definition of natural and induced space environments Provide systems engineering support to the Gateway Program in space environments requirements and verification activities, working in concert with NASA civil servants and designated contractors Evaluate induced environments hazards between elements or vehicles as the Gateway stack expands over a 15-year period Conduct systems engineering trade studies to identify potential risks and mitigations Develop and update semi-empirical and theoretical models Analyze/model molecular contamination and transport of contaminants from materials outgassing, lunar dust, vacuum venting and rocket engine thruster plumes onto Gateway Analyze optical property impacts from molecular contamination with exposure to the orbital environment (ultraviolet radiation, ionizing radiation, and atomic oxygen) Analyze/model plasma effects and spacecraft charging Analyze/model radiation transport and effects on Gateway hardware Assess compatibility of spacecraft hardware with natural and induced space environments Perform other duties as required Supervisory Responsibilities This position has no supervisory responsibilities Reporting Relationship This position reports to the Project or Program Manager Qualifications Required:
