The Consolidated Operations, Management, Engineering and Test (COMET) contract provides overall management and implementation of ground systems capabilities, flight hardware processing and launch operations at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. These tasks support the International Space Station, Exploration Ground Systems, Space Launch System (SLS), Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and Launch Services programs.
As a member of the Facility Structures Engineering group, you would work directly with engineers responsible for the design and sustaining of new and existing subsystems utilized in support of the Artemis missions. Facility Structures at the Vehicle Assembly Building, Mobile Launcher, and Launch Pard are required to support vehicle processing and launch, the Launch Accessories and Umbilicals that provide the ground to flight interfaces, the Crawler transporter that moves the stacked Mobile Launcher from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the Pad for launch to the cryogenics used to fuel the SLS vehicle.
Responsibilities\:
Provide practical application of engineering skills to perform flight and ground system mechanical engineering projects that that meet stakeholder expectations, system functional requirements and NASA program requirements. Support the design of mechanical Ground Support Equipment (GSE) and Ground Support Systems (GSS) Work with NASA and other contractor design teams to perform modifications to existing GSE/GSS mechanical systems. Prepare conceptual design packages, perform feasibility studies, technical assessments, cost estimates and requirements development in support of new design projects and existing system design modifications. Create and execute component and subsystem design verification/acceptance plans and test methods to validate performance to requirements and obtain design certification. Must have ability to successfully interface with customer representatives and manage completion of tasks on schedule and within budget to the customer's satisfaction. Maintain professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops; reviewing professional publications; establishing personal networks; participating in professional societies. Contribute to team effort by accomplishing related results as needed. Perform other duties as assigned. *The Consolidated Operations, Management, Engineering and Test (COMET) contract provides overall management and implementation of ground systems capabilities, flight hardware processing and launch operations at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
