Description SAIC is looking for a Spacecraft Electrical, Electronic & Electromechanical (EEE) Parts Safety & Reliability Engineer (SRE). This position offers an exciting and challenging opportunity to support NASA’s present and future human spaceflight programs.
You will assist with the selection, testing, application, derating and failure analysis of EEE parts used in spacecraft systems. You will be responsible for ensuring that EEE parts comply with all applicable Safety and Mission Assurance (S&MA) requirements. Some travel to vendors, prime contractor sites, and/or vehicle processing centers may be required.
SPECIFIC TASKS INCLUDE
Assist with the development and effective implementation of EEE part Safety and Mission Assurance (S&MA) requirements, processes and procedures
Evaluation of EEE part selection and application of EEE parts into spacecraft designs for compliance to NASA S&MA requirements and system certification limits/constraints
Evaluation of changes to EEE part requirements and processes, for potential impacts to flight safety, and mission success
Assessment of EEE part application and derating analysis reports
Working with the NASA Ionizing Radiation Team, assess EEE part/system performance and recommendation for application in the spacecraft ionizing radiation environment
Evaluation of prime contractor processes and products related to EEE parts including test reports
Participation in EEE part failure analysis and problem resolution
Reviewing S&MA products (HA, FMEA, etc.) for inclusion and adequacy of EEE parts control strategies and verification
Candidates must be US citizens and able to pass a public trust security clearance
Qualifications
EDUCATION
BS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or other science degree
Required Skills
0ver 3 years related experience
Excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communications skills
High degree of technical excellence, integrity, and self-initiative
Ability to evaluate technical merits of EEE parts for application into spacecraft designs and identify alternative solutions to complex technical problems to mitigate mission risk
Ability to work effectively across multiple organizations / stakeholders and within a teaming environment to get results
Proficient in use of Microsoft Office tools (Word, Power Point, Excel)
Desired Skills
Knowledge of the wide range of EEE part technologies across all part types
Knowledge of materials, material compatibility, and manufacturing processes for long life/high reliability spacecraft applications
Understanding of EEE part package designs and acceptable designs for spacecraft use
Knowledge and application NASA and Military EEE parts standards in spacecraft systems
Knowledge of/experience with AEC (Automotive Electronics Council) certified parts and industry leading manufacturers
Knowledge/assessing Statistical Process Controls (SPC) and manufacturing controls to prevent manufacturing defects used in commercial manufacturing
Assessing/determining acceptable use of non-NASA standard/military parts for use in spacecraft safety critical systems that require highly reliable EEE parts
Experience with assessing EEE part selection and application used in high reliability/safety critical spacecraft hardware
Derating in EEE part
Experience performing and analyzing EEE part failure root cause analyses, determining risk of failure of EEE parts and making recommendations for corrective/mitigation in spacecraft hardware
Experience performing root cause analysis and Fault Tree Analysis in support of anomaly / non-conformance investigations
Basic understanding of space ionizing radiation effects, types and levels on EEE parts and spacecraft systems, EEE part susceptibility/tolerance, space ionizing radiation assessment and part/system testing requirements
