Are you passionate about human space exploration, understanding the origins of the universe, and working with a passionate and diverse team to make a difference? If you are, we need you     

We need your talent, teamwork, and energy to help us achieve great things that inspire people all over the globe. We need you to bring creative ideas and diverse backgrounds to help us envision, shape, and deliver systems that will enable the exploration of space while benefiting people here on Earth. We are excited about what we do, and we need you on our team as we take on exciting challenges for NASA’s pursuits in deep space exploration. As NASA’s largest engineering solutions provider working together with NASA at centers across the United States. 

We have an exciting opportunity for a EMI/EMC Analyst - Space Exploration Avionics Systems to join the team with Oceaneering, a teammate company.

** We are actively searching for qualified candidates for this potential opening; however, we do not have assurance at this time when the position will be finalized and opened. Because we have strong reason to believe the position will be approved soon, we are proceeding with identifying qualified candidates and conducting interviews. **

The EMI/EMC Analyst - Space Exploration Avionics Systems will\:

Report directly to the Electronics and Electrical Section Manager as part of a group of 45 other Electronics and Electrical Engineers. Work with other EMI/EMC engineers in support of the Avionics Division on-site at NASA Johnson Space Center. Support EMI/EMC testing performed on-site and off-site at EMI/EMC test chambers on various space-flight electronic hardware systems. Work with the NASA E3 Engineer, major contractors, and sub-contractors, both domestic and foreign, within their engineering disciplines for hardware E3 designing. Support E3 test projects by developing Test Requirements, Test Plans and Test Procedures. Witness E3 testing, providing real-time data analysis, troubleshooting, reduce the test data, and providing a Quick Test Report prior to  writing the final test report. Prepare update briefings to management on any significant tests that are performed
in the EMI facility. Support Preliminary Design Reviews, and Critical Design Reviews; EMC analyses (analytical and numerical), E3 Test Readiness Reviews and witness E3 tests. Support design engineers with consultation and review of electronic circuitry, bonding, grounding and cable designs for EMC compliance. Support projects in new modeling and simulation techniques for design and testing hardware. Support design engineers in bench top lab EMI assessments/Engineering Evaluations. Develop correlation equations to estimate pass/fail criteria in onsite EMI chambers. Be able to look at programs from a system perspective with respect to EMC/EMI areas early in a project.  This may include Risk Analysis and recommendations for design changes. While working in a laboratory environment, following standard operating procedures and following safety protocols established by the test facility. Perform other duties, as required, including multiple discipline (Avionics, Power Quality, RF Tx/RX Systems, Mechanical/Structural, Environments, etc.) meetings; attend weekly in-office status meetings, as well as online TEAMS meetings with NASA, primary Contractor, and sub-contractors. *
