Electronic Component Engineer - EEE Parts for NASA GFE Flight Projects and NASA Programs

Amentum•Houston, TX

11h•$98,500•Onsite

About The Position

Amentum is seeking an Electronic Component Engineer to provide electrical, electronic, and electromechanical (EEE) parts support for NASA Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE) flight projects and programs. The role works within a group of approximately 50 Electronics and Electrical Engineers and reports to the Electronics and Electrical Section Manager. The position supports NASA programs by evaluating EEE parts for hardware criticality and environmental suitability, advising on part selection and replacement, and supporting qualification, screening, and failure investigations. The engineer reviews military and industry specifications, standards, and studies for NASA applications; reports manufacturer, materials, construction, derating, and reliability findings to the EEE Parts Control Board; and supports NSPARs and related documentation. The position may be advertised at multiple levels, with selection based on candidate experience, requirements, and business needs. Amentum lists a starting salary of $98,500, with final compensation based on experience, skills, and qualifications. The work is generally performed in an office, though tasks may involve indoor or outdoor work. The role involves sitting or standing for extended periods, and may require lifting and carrying up to 25 pounds. Standard office equipment is used. Regular attendance is critical, and the employee may need to work outside the normal schedule or adjust schedules during peak periods and surges. U.S. citizenship or permanent residency may be required, and candidates must be able to complete a U.S. government background investigation.

Requirements

Typically requires a bachelor's degree in Engineering and 5–10 years of related experience.
A license or certification may be required.
Experience interfacing regularly with NASA customers and coordinating team assignments.
Experience supporting design reviews, product development teams, and component selection, screening, qualification, and derating for space-flight applications.
Experience in EEE activities, including procurement specifications, source control drawings (SCDs), and project documentation.
Experience preparing and distributing NASA Advisories and GIDEP Alerts.
Experience with part selection, obsolescence reviews, and electrical part failure investigations.
Experience developing NSPARs and PCB-related documentation.
Experience with RITF performing destructive physical analysis (DPA).
Experience sourcing passive and active components.
Experience developing part specifications and test procedures for space-level parts.
Experience providing technical assistance and applications support for test laboratories, part manufacturers, and project teams.
Experience reviewing test data to verify part and lot acceptability.
Ability to complete a U.S. government background investigation.
Proof of U.S. citizenship or U.S. permanent residency may be required.
Ability to sit or stand for extended periods and, when required, lift and carry up to 25 pounds.
Ability to work outside the normal schedule and adjust schedules during peak periods and surge requirements.
