You will join a multidisciplinary team responsible for designing, integrating, and operating complex test systems that simulate spacecraft and planetary environments. This role is suited for candidates enthusiastic about hands on engineering, control system integration, laboratory testing, and supporting technology development for human spaceflight.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and troubleshoot electrical and control systems for ground test facilities, including power distribution, instrumentation, safety interlocks, and data acquisition systems.
• Develop PLC- and HMI-based control architectures for automated test operations, vacuum systems, fluid loops, thermal systems, environmental chambers, or life support test rigs.
• Produce engineering documentation including electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and test procedures in compliance with NASA and JSC safety standards.
• Integrate sensors, instrumentation, and data acquisition hardware for facility monitoring and test-article evaluation.
• Support end to end system checkout, functional testing, verification/validation, and facility readiness activities.
• Troubleshoot facility components such as pumps, valves, relays, pressure/temperature instrumentation, and power electronics elements.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, thermal, power, and test engineering teams to support human spaceflight development projects.
• Participate in design reviews, hazard analysis, work planning, and configuration management.
• Operate test facilities during engineering evaluations, technology development campaigns, and mission-support activities.
