Come join our team and help us continue the mission of space exploration.

You will become fully knowledgeable of system requirements, functional architectures, mission profiles, and operational scenarios for Axiom-managed spaceflight systems and EVA-related hardware. You will aid in developing/maturing Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (FMEA) and Critical Items Lists (CILs) to ensure that systems and products perform consistently and without failure over their intended lifespan.

Requirements

• BS in Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical Engineering, or related STEM discipline
• 8 - 10 years' experience in SMA, specifically System Safety Hazard and Risk Analysis

Nice To Haves

• Experience with EVA or EMU hardware and operations, or reliability/safety support for complex space systems.
• Working knowledge of ISS systems, EVA tools, airlock/EMU interfaces, and related operational concepts.
• Background in spacesuit development, critical space hardware design, or development of operations products (procedures, flight rules, certification packages).
• Experience supporting NASA human spaceflight programs.
• Experience with environmental control and life support systems, thermal control, structural or mechanical systems.
• Familiarity with human factors considerations for crewed hardware design.
• Experience supporting real-time EVA or spacecraft operations in a control-room environment.

Responsibilities

• Perform reliability engineering assessments across system lifecycles, including requirements evaluation, design maturity reviews, operational concepts, early safety and reliability products, and reliability certification of Axiom hardware and mission-support systems.
• Developing and assuring reliability and risk analyses (such as FMEAs, fault trees, and reliability models).
• Perform hazard/risk assessments.
• Present reliability positions at program boards, technical reviews, and SMA panels.
• Analyze performance data, develop/support reliability tests, and implement improvements to enhance system durability and efficiency.
• Support Axiom engineering and program leadership, NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC) Safety & Mission Assurance (SMA) Directorate, the Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility Program (EHP), and various ISS, and Lunar program office stakeholders.
