BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a related field from an accredited engineering school.
7-10 years of directly applicable EEE parts engineering experience.
Knowledge of component failure modes, component reliability, and components specifications and standards.
Understanding of passive components, microcircuit, hybrid, semiconductor and discrete device fabrication.
Experience with accelerated reliability testing, reliability theory, and component failure analysis.
Knowledge of the EEE parts used in high reliability military/DoD or space hardware and the associated US military test specifications and standards.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to work in a multi-disciplinary team of mechanical, electrical, and software engineers.
Must be flexible, open to new challenges in a dynamic environment, and possess strong technical expertise combined with strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities with little supervision.
Must be a highly responsible, team-oriented individual with strong work ethic.
Must have highly developed coordination and organization skills.

Responsibilities

Collaborate directly with cross-functional teams and product managers to integrate EEE parts selection considerations during early product development.
Participate in design reviews, customer acceptance reviews, test planning, and other program reviews; develop milestone review documentation, as needed.
Support project teams in EEE related activities including review and generation of project related documents such as procurement specifications and Source Control Drawings (SCDs).
Review electrical test data to verify part/lot acceptability.
Contribute to component selection, screening, qualification, derating, failure analysis, and obsolescence reviews for spaceflight applications.
Draft and formalize project-specific qualification plans, screening requirements, and Non-Standard Part Approval Requests (NSPAR) for EEE components.
Evaluate the manufacturers, materials, construction, usage (environment & electrical de-rating), and overall reliability of the selected parts and reporting to the EEE parts control board (PCB).
Review design-phase bills of materials (BoMs) for component reliability while providing direct technical expertise to Material Review Boards (MRBs).
Evaluate proposed EEE Parts lists with respect to the project’s specific hardware criticality and environments.
Recommend replacement EEE parts.
Support EEE parts reliability issues and risk mitigation towards closure.
Assist in preparation, analysis and distribution of NASA Advisories and Government Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP) Alerts.
Develop part specifications and test procedures for space level parts.
Provide technical assistance to contracted tests labs and part manufacturers.
Review of military and industry EEE parts specifications, standards and studies for application to NASA programs.
