CACI is looking for an experienced Spacecraft Embedded Flight Software Developer and Systems Engineer to work in NASA Johnson Space Center's flight software systems engineering and integration group supporting NASA's next generation crewed spacecraft, Orion, which will carry astronauts to the Moon. Orion will dock in lunar orbit with a lunar lander which will transport astronauts to and from the lunar surface. This exciting position involves software development and systems engineering for software upgrades and new development of Orion flight software capabilities. The work includes software systems engineering throughout the software life cycle.

  • Develop flight software requirements for flight software upgrades and new capabilities.
  • Facilitate project milestone reviews and coordinate closure of Review Item Dispositions (RIDs).
  • Coordinate development of flight software documentation.
  • Review flight software documents, e.g., requirements, architecture, design, etc.
  • Support development of Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Interface Requirements Documents (IRDs) to define interfaces between flight software subsystems and other spacecraft or ground systems.
  • Detect areas of risk within the flight software and develop risk mitigation plans.
  • Track and coordinate resolution of flight software bugs and defects.
  • Support trade studies, analyses, and assessments as needed to develop flight software and resolve issues.
  • Provide guidance and oversight of process adherence to the NASA Spacecraft Software Engineering Team (SSET) standards and processes for class A safety-critical flight software development.
  • Develop and maintain a Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) to ensure all requirements are met.
  • Participate and present at NASA software boards as needed.
  • Support integration of flight software in test and verification facilities.
  • Write and test flight software code including unit testing, integration testing, and verification.
  • Develop software tools and scripts as needed.
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident.
  • B.S. in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer or Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related disciplines required.
