About The Position

ASRC Federal System Solutions (AFSS) is seeking an ORION Industrial Engineer at Kennedy Space Center, FL. This role is responsible for ensuring mechanical and fluids Ground Support Equipment (GSE) readiness to support spacecraft testing. The engineer will develop detailed work instructions for GSE modifications and repairs, document nonconformances, and collaborate with GSE responsible engineers to restore hardware to design specifications. Maintaining detailed records for GSE configuration management, including precision cleanliness and maintenance cycles, is crucial. The position involves planning, implementing, testing, documenting, and maintaining solutions for the integration and testing of various components and systems. Coordination of subsystem and/or system testing activities with programs and other organizations is also a key responsibility. The engineer will perform analysis of test results, prepare evaluation reports, write discrepancy reports, and conduct integration regression testing.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering or related discipline and 0-2 years of experience or equivalent experience/combined education.
• Hands on experience with assembly, integration and test of ground support equipment and/or flight hardware subsystems onto a Flight Spacecraft.
• Experience using and/or maintaining Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE) such as pneumatic or fluids-loading panels.
• Fundamental knowledge of spacecraft/aerospace test operations.
• Experience interpreting engineering drawings, schematics and test specifications for testing of aerospace hardware.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills with an ability to develop and maintain effective cross- functional relationships and an ability to work and lead in a team environment.
• Solid engineering skills/foundation including problem/anomaly identification, analysis, resolution and closure in support of testing.
• Experience generating test plans and test procedures for GSE and/or spacecraft HW.
• Willing to support extended work hours when required

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with precision clean standards IEST-1246 and MIL-PRF-XXXX for hardware and maintenance of such hardware.
• Experience with structural, environmental (thermal, vacuum, acoustic) or pneumatic testing.
• Experience with development and release of Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Functional Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FFMEA) for Mechanical GSE
• Familiarity with calibration and life limit cycles for hardware utilized for precision data collection
• Experience with hazardous operations testing to include high pressure gases, propellants (hypergolic) and an understanding of refrigerants.
• Experience with cryogenics (LN2) utilized in vacuum load servicing and de-servicing
• Experience working with spacecraft flight fluid systems, such as Propulsion or Environmental Life Support.
• Experience working with and/or leading a team to include other test engineers, technicians and quality assurance during testing of GSE hardware.

Responsibilities

• Ground Processing Equipment Coordinator responsible for ensuring mechanical and fluids GSE readiness to support spacecraft testing.
• Develop detailed work instructions for GSE modifications and repairs.
