As an **Electro Mechanical Technician** you would provide general support in a wide range of technical and engineering methods that support tests at the X-ray Cryogenic Facility (XRCF). NASA's XRCF is an adaptable space environment simulation facility that has been enabling technology development and pre-flight verification of space missions since 1991. As the Agency's premier cryogenic optical test facility, the XRCF enables the development and pre-flight evaluation of large direct-incidence telescope mirrors and structures in relevant thermal environments to 20° Kelvin. As the world's largest x-ray optical test facility, the XRCF enables development, performance, and calibration testing of grazing-incidence x-ray optics, detectors, and telescopes.
