EA Technical Integration Engineer
About The Position
This role ensures that complex technical systems integrate safely and successfully across mission phases—from development and test through flight operations. The engineer will collaborate with diverse engineering teams, contractors, mission operations, and safety organizations to uphold NASA’s safety and mission assurance standards. As an EA Technical Integration Engineer, you will function as a team member of the Amentum Flight Safety Team of Systems Safety professionals and engineers, and report to the JSC Engineering Directorate ISS Chief Engineer. Serve as a technical integrator across ISS, Orion, Gateway, and Commercial Crew programs to ensure consistent engineering practices and safe system performance. Coordinate cross-discipline engineering inputs in areas such as spacecraft systems, environmental control, power, avionics, software, and human factors. Identify cross-program impacts and ensure integrated solutions that maintain crew safety and mission readiness. Support technical interchange meetings, integration forums, and program working groups. Review and verify safety analyses (hazard reports, FMEA, fault trees, and controls) for multiple flight programs. Ensure compliance with human-rating standards and program-specific safety requirements across all supported programs. Evaluate design changes, operational updates, and new technologies for safety implications and risk posture. Support Safety Review Panels and ensure all safety-related actions are tracked and resolved. Produce clear, concise technical products including integration summaries, risk assessments, briefing charts, and decision packages. Bridge communication across government engineers, contractors, operations personnel, and safety organizations. Present complex technical topics to both technical and program leadership audiences. Perform technical review of simple and complex spaceflight payload systems, Government Furnished Equipment, or ISS systems with respect to transport, interface and operational parameters and requirements as well as assure that sound engineering practices have been employed. Interact with the engineering subject matter expert team, coordinating comments, and providing feedback communications. Perform other duties as required.
