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 Space Environment Engineer to join the team with McLaurin, a teammate company.

The Space Environment Engineer will\:

Provide support as a space environments engineer for multiple NASA programs including Gateway and Axiom Station. Provide systems engineering support with space environments requirements and verification activities, working in concert with NASA civil servants and designated contractors Evaluate induced environmental hazards between space station elements and visiting vehicles Conduct systems engineering trade studies in the form of modeling/analysis activities to identify potential contamination risks and mitigations strategies Develop and update semi-empirical and theoretical models Analyze/model molecular contamination and transport of contaminants from contamination sources (such as materials outgassing, vacuum venting, and chemical thruster plumes) onto external surfaces Analyze/model plasma effects and spacecraft charging Analyze/model radiation transport and effects to materials Assess compatibility of spacecraft hardware with natural and induced space environment Perform other duties as required *
