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 Materials & Processes Engineer to join the team

  ** 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 Materials & Processes Engineer will\:

Advise, guide, and provide consultation on requirements for Materials & Processes (M&P) for intravehicular (IVA) and extravehicular (EVA) environments, including materials selection, process control, and qualification, design for corrosion prevention, electrical bonding, flammability, toxic off-gassing, and processes specification. Provide input to program/project specifications and ensure appropriate materials requirements are incorporated into all program/project specifications at the right level. Review project/program documentation, specifications, and engineering drawings to ensure M&P requirements are met for spaceflight hardware. Assess whether standard vendor processes meet requirements, and if not, clearly define changes that need to be implemented. Provide vendors with recommendations for qualification and acceptance testing that will properly satisfy verification of requirements. Provide inspection and manufacturing process support for human space flight systems. Other duties as required. ​ *
