SR. ENGINEER - Space Instrumentation - Boulder, Colorado
19-00170 Who We Are:
As a recognized leader in space science research and spacecraft instrumentation, avionics, and electronics, we are helping to reveal the secrets of our solar system and the universe. Objectives of this Role:
Lead the mechanical and thermal design of spaceflight instrumentation development. Oversee design work, mechanical/thermal interface definition, conduct analyses, produce fabrication drawings, oversee fabrication and assembly activities. Develop assembly procedures for space flight hardware. This will require familiarity with spaceflight components outside their discipline. Mentor junior staff and teach them best practices as well as on-the-job learned skills. Assist potential principal investigators in the development of proposals from small instrument developments to full mission design. Serve as a reviewer for proposals within SwRI to ensure the highest probability of success. Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:
Develop and oversee assembly, integration, and test of EUV instruments. Review documents and ensure interface control documents are complete. Review verification and EIDPs for completeness. Develop detail designs and analysis of flight instrumentation and oversee the fabrication and assembly of those designs. Analysis of mechanical and thermal models for space flight hardware in a variety of environments. Develop relevant engineering processes and ensure SwRI policies are followed. Requirements:
Requires a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering. Advanced degrees will be considered in lieu of some years of experience. 25 years: Experience with space systems, instruments, and vehicles. Experience creating assembly procedures for complex space systems. 20 years: Thermal system modeling, design and implementation of thermal solutions. 5 years: Setting engineering design principles, best practices, and requirements for an organization. 5 years: Experience with UV missions such as FUSE, HST/COS, ALICE, UVS, or GALEX. A valid/clear driver's license is required. Special Requirements:
Work assignment is in Boulder, Colorado. Must be a U.S. person (i.e., U.S. citizen, non-U.S. citizen national, lawful permanent resident, asylee, or refugee) due to ITAR work in section. #J-18808-Ljbffr
