Peraton
Responsibilities
Peraton is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team supporting the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) through a contract with JPL in Monrovia, CA. This is a rare opportunity to contribute directly to NASA’s interplanetary missions and space science operations. The Deep Space Network is NASA’s international array of giant radio antennas that supports interplanetary spacecraft missions and some Earth-orbiting satellites. It also provides radar and radio astronomy observations, enhancing our understanding of the solar system and the universe. The antennas are crucial for commanding spacecraft and receiving images and scientific data, advancing our knowledge of space and our place within it. What You’ll Do:
Design and maintain advanced HVAC systems supporting critical communications infrastructure for space exploration. Lead the design, installation, and maintenance of HVAC systems for mission-critical facilities. Perform system calculations such as load analysis, duct/pipe sizing, and pressure drops. Support engineering studies, code reviews, and field investigations. Provide technical oversight for systems including chillers, air handlers, evaporative cooling towers, boilers, pumps, compressed air systems, air balancing, and humidification systems. Troubleshoot systems using schematics and mechanical drawings. Collaborate across engineering disciplines to deliver high-performance systems. Contribute to preventive, predictive, and reliability-centered maintenance programs. Ensure compliance with ASHRAE standards, IBC, IMC, IFC, IPC, NFPA, and other relevant codes. Qualifications
Required Qualifications:
5 years of experience with a BS/BA, 3 years with an MS/MA, or no experience with a PhD. Knowledge of ASHRAE standards and relevant building/fire codes (IBC, IMC, NFPA). Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite. Must be a
U.S. citizen
and able to pass a background check and NCIC screening. Preferred Qualifications:
Master’s degree, EIT or PE license. PMP, CEM, or LEED certification. Experience with industrial/data center HVAC design. Familiarity with ALC and Carrier control systems. Membership in ASHRAE is a plus. Peraton Overview
