Overview
Are you passionate about human space exploration, understanding the origins of the universe, and working with a diverse team to make a difference? We need your talent, teamwork, and energy to help us achieve great things that inspire people around the globe. Join us to envision, shape, and deliver systems for space exploration that benefit people on Earth. We are excited about what we do and invite you to contribute to NASA’s pursuits in deep space exploration as NASA’s largest engineering solutions provider working with NASA centers across the United States. We have an exciting opportunity for a
Senior Aerospace Textile Engineer
to join Barrios Technologies, a teammate company. Note: We are actively searching for qualified candidates for this potential opening; however, there is no assurance at this time when the position will be finalized and opened. Because there is a strong likelihood the position will be approved soon, we are identifying qualified candidates and conducting interviews. Responsibilities
Support NASA programs by providing non-metallic and fibrous materials expertise for selecting soft goods exposed to various atmospheres, high vacuum, and extreme temperatures. This includes soft goods such as semi-rigid plastics, films, textiles, nonwovens, and their finishing treatments. Provide technical leadership on the development of non-metallic and fibrous materials (films, textiles, nonwovens) for Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) development across NASA programs, including space suit materials, spacecraft interior hardware, inflatable structures, and hygiene and sanitation for lunar and Martian environments. Serve as a subject matter expert in textile materials, guiding design, development, and qualification of advanced softgoods for next-generation lunar and Martian space suits. Provide technical support related to non-metallic and fibrous materials for R&D activities under SBIR and STTR NASA programs. Review NASA reports, requirement documents, proposals, conference papers, and journal articles related to non-metallic and fibrous materials. Support NASA Materials and Processes (M&P) engineers with evaluation and selection of non-metallic and fibrous materials. Perform testing and characterization on non-metallic materials as needed. Perform other duties as required. Qualifications
Requisition Qualifications:
This position has been posted at multiple levels. Depending on the candidate's experience, requirements, and business needs, we reserve the right to consider candidates at any level for which this position has been advertised. Typically requires a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in Engineering; a related master’s degree may be preferred and normally 10-15 years of related experience. BS or higher in Textile Engineering, Fiber Science, Material Science and Engineering, or related field. Minimum of 10 years of direct experience in the textile manufacturing industry. Strong understanding of textiles and the textile manufacturing industry—from fiber and yarn formation to fabric construction, coating, lamination, and finishing. Proven experience in textile product development and scale-up from prototype to production. Solid knowledge of fiber properties, textile structures (woven, knit, nonwoven), and their manufacturing methods. Hands-on experience with textile testing and performance evaluation per ASTM, AATCC, ISO, or equivalent standards. Ability to analyze test data and translate performance requirements into material design improvements and process adjustments. Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams, including materials, systems, and mechanical engineers. Strong problem-solving, organization, and multitasking skills in a fast-paced environment. Effective communicator with the ability to document technical results clearly and present findings to internal and external stakeholders. Requisition Preferences
Prior experience with textiles for aerospace, defense, or other high-performance applications is highly desirable; experience with space suit materials is a plus. Why Join Our Team?
In addition to exciting career opportunities, we offer: Excellent personal and professional career growth 9/80 work schedule (every other Friday off), when applicable Proof of U.S. Citizenship or US Permanent Residency may be a requirement for this position Must be able to complete a U.S. government background investigation Management reserves the right to select at any level for which the position is advertised Essential Functions
Generally, an office environment, but can involve inside or outside work depending on task. Work Environment
Generally, an office environment, but can involve inside or outside work depending on task. Physical Requirements
Work may involve sitting or standing for extended periods (90% of time). May require lifting and carrying up to 25 lbs. (5% of time). Equipment and Machines
Standard office equipment (PC, telephone, printer, etc.). Attendance
Regular attendance in accordance with the established work schedule is critical. Ability to work outside normal schedule and adjust to peak periods and surge requirements. Other Essential Functions
Professional behavior that enhances productivity and promotes teamwork and cooperation. Grooming and dress must be appropriate for the position and must not impose a safety risk/hazard to the employee or others. Additional Note
