Position Description:
The Electrical Design/Avionics Integration Engineer supports SLS Program / NASA systems on the Amentum ESSCA contract.

The key purpose of the position is to support the NASA Space Launch System (SLS) Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) labs, and System Emulator equipment from Marshall Space Flight center in Huntsville Alabama. The HWIL labs include the System Integration and Test Facility (SITF), Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL), and multiple Software Development Facilities (SDFs) used to verify the integrated avionics and software systems for the SLS rocket. This position also includes support for the Upper Stage integration and ground systems integration. Collectively these labs are known as the Integrated Avionics Test Facilities (IATF). The System Emulators replicate key system level functions and functional interfaces for NASA manned space flight systems integration activities in various locations across the United States. All of these labs and emulators include numerous complex real-time Software Models integrated with Electrical/Avionics systems to achieve detailed simulation of the SLS rocket.
Responsibilities:
This is a senior level position that requires broad technical capability to understand design and operation of real-time HWIL avionics systems. Specific primary responsibilities of this position include:
• Work in a small team environment to develop SLS HWIL labs
• Architect macro & micro electrical/avionics integration hardware and interconnect solutions to support evolution of SLS HWIL system capabilities
• Communicate risks, issues and solutions to peers with various technical backgrounds and areas of expertise

• Create technical documentation including problem assessment/analysis, test data evaluation, problem resolution reports
• Present and defend analyses and reports during peer level reviews
• Perform data interpretation, assessment, and analysis of integrated electrical/avionics systems.
• Communicate (written and verbal) clear and crisp insights and observations of performance of integrated systems
• Communicate risks, issues and solutions to peers with various technical backgrounds and areas of expertise

A degree in Electrical, Aerospace, or Computer Engineering or a degree in a related technical discipline is required. A degree from an ABET accredited university is preferred. Typically, educational requirements are the equivalent of a Ph.D., with a minimum 4 years of experience, MS with at least 8 years of experience, or BS with at least 10 years of experience. Must have excellent written and oral technical communication skills - must be able to clearly define and describe a technical subject to peers across various engineering disciplines.
Demonstrated ability to work with a team of diverse individuals and reach group consensus on technical topics.
Additional Requirements:
• Significant experience with hardware-in-the loop laboratories. Have a broad technical capability to integrate real-time HWIL systems. This broad technical capability will range from detailed electronic subsystem and component functional evaluation/analysis/modeling to evaluation of large-scale system level interaction across multiple avionics boxes and electrical/electronic subsystems.
• Electrical control and electrical power systems design, integration & test for launch vehicles, aircraft, satellites, or payloads.
• Experience in full lifecycle PCB design including: collecting requirements, schematic capture, component selection, and PCB layout with focus on signal integrity, power integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC mitigation. Performed circuit analysis, simulation, and troubleshooting using tools such as PSpice, LTSpice, or equivalent.
• Read and interpret avionics architecture diagrams, cable interconnect diagrams, and associated system schematics.
• Electrical/Electronic systems and components operational knowledge - including the design, analysis, and simulation of circuits. Component & circuit knowledge should include foundational R/L/C/Diode/BJT/FET components as well as devices such as op-amps, instrumentation amps, opto-isolators, A/Ds, D/As.
• Previous experience with aerospace system design (e.g. space launch vehicles, spacecraft, missile systems, aircraft), from system specification through detailed design.
• Previous experience assessing Avionics system behavior and performing test design, test execution, test data collection, and test data analysis for complex aerospace systems (e.g. space launch vehicles, spacecraft, missile systems, aircraft).
• Integration and/or simulation of sensors such as pressure transducers, RTDs, thermocouples, accelerometers, electronic simulation of solenoid valves, servo valves, or electromechanical actuators.
• Working knowledge of digital communication technologies such as MIL-STD 1553B, RS422, and RS485.
• Working knowledge of Data Acquisition Systems, preferably real-time systems
