About this role

The Human Landing System (HLS) Propulsion Systems Engineer works in a highly integrated team performing technical and integration activities. They support main propulsion systems and launch vehicles for the Human Lander program. This role provides technical insight into NASA-partner engine systems and vehicle propulsion design.

Daily tasks involve following the HLS partner Systems Engineering approach to design, development, integration, and test. Engineers conduct data analysis, anomaly resolution, and reviews of provider deliverables like milestone products, hazards, verifications, risks, and test reports. They develop models, analysis tools, and documentation including trade studies and hazard assessments.

The team environment emphasizes attending technical interchanges, project planning, design reviews, and meetings. This maintains current knowledge of design, requirements, issues, action items, and resolutions. Collaboration occurs within a diverse group promoting dignity, respect, inclusion, and appreciation of differences.
