Role

Join the Lunar Permanence business unit as an Avionics Systems Integration Engineer within the Avionics team on the Crewed Lander. You will focus on integration of one or more spacecraft subsystems, leading cross-functional trade studies, running integrated analyses, and defining interfaces that impact spacecraft design and integration. You will work directly with NASA and National Team Partners as part of the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program, playing a key role in developing the lunar transportation system that returns humans to the Moon.

Responsibilities

  • Negotiate between multiple stakeholders with conflicting interests to optimize spacecraft design
  • Contribute to or lead avionics architecture studies, concept development, verification planning, vehicle integration, and operations support
  • Manage avionics requirements development, definition, and maturity
  • Develop and manage avionics physical, logical, and network configuration interface control documents (ICDs)
  • Develop and maintain data and communication budgets
  • Develop and maintain integrated electrical architecture diagrams
  • Coordinate constraints and conflicting requirements across multiple disciplines
  • Contribute to or lead change management ensuring proper change impact assessment and coordination of design changes across subsystems
  • Coordinate sensor selection and end-to-end sensor error analysis
  • Identify, assess, and manage program risks (technical, schedule, cost, integration)
  • Develop tools for maintaining vehicle electrical configuration and definition

Required Qualifications

  • B.S. in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical subject area
