About The Position

Are you passionate about human space exploration, understanding the origins of the universe, and working with a passionate and diverse team to make a difference? If you are, we need you! We need your talent, teamwork, and energy to help us achieve great things that inspire people all over the globe. We need you to bring creative ideas and diverse backgrounds to help us envision, shape, and deliver systems that will enable the exploration of space while benefiting people here on Earth. We are excited about what we do, and we need you on our team as we take on exciting challenges for NASA's pursuits in deep space exploration. As NASA's largest engineering solutions provider working together with NASA at centers across the United States. We are seeking an Orion Software Mission Integrator to support the Orion Avionics, Power & Software (APS) Office as part of NASA's Artemis Program. This role provides technical leadership and multi – mission integration across Orion Flight Software (FSW), simulation/software – in – the – loop environments, and continuous integration (CI) infrastructure. The Software Mission Integrator ensures Orion's software architecture, mission – specific configurations, and cross - program interfaces are developed, synchronized, and validated to support multiple deep - space missions in parallel. This position will serve as a key contributor between program stakeholders including SLS, HLS, Gateway partners, flight dynamics, GNC, C&W, displays, networking, and simulation/emulator development teams. This position is located in Houston, TX. Your future duties and responsibilities: The Orion Software Mission Integrator will: - Software Architecture & Multi - Mission Coordination. - Lead integration activities to ensure Orion's software supports multiple missions in parallel, including variations in lander types, trajectories, mission phases, visiting vehicle interactions, and operational constraints. - Develop and maintain software architecture approaches, configuration strategies, and data-driven implementation schemes to enable efficient reuse across missions. - Ensure consistent handling of mission - unique networking, telemetry, commanding, displays, caution & warning, sequencing, and GNC behaviors. - Coordinate with Orion's Software Manager to optimize long – term architectural direction and mission – to - mission software strategy. - Systems & Cross - Program Interface Integration. - Serve as the technical integrator for Orion software interfaces involving SLS, HLS, Gateway, Visiting Vehicles, simulation environments, and program – to – program ICDs. - Participate in SLS and HLS ICD working groups, ensuring Orion interfaces are properly represented and optimized for multi – mission operations. - Identify and resolve cross - program, cross - system, and schedule dependencies impacting the Orion software build plan. - Support resolution of discrepancies, interface conflicts, and software – related RIDs. - Continuous Integration, Test Campaigns & Build Management. - Ensure Orion's Continuous Integration (CI) environment supports parallel mission development and validation. - Guide development of CI test suites, regression checks, and automated mission – specific test gates. - Track emulator and joint testing campaign build needs across SLS, HLS, and other partners. - Ensure stable, testable software builds can be produced and delivered for each mission on a predictable cadence. - Coordinate with simulation/emulator teams to ensure accurate modeling of mission - specific software behaviors. - Technical Leadership & Program Support.
