About The Position

The Transmissions Communication Systems Engineer III researches, designs, develops, tests, and oversees the installation of electrical communication systems at Kennedy Space Center. The work includes network system architecture, cabling, and mission imagery systems for photo and video imagery. This is a represented staff position with the IBEW Union. The engineer designs network communication systems supporting network transport, imagery, and voice communications; applies transmission, structured cabling, code, standards, regulation, electrical protection, fire-stopping, and cable-system development principles; and collaborates with team members on customer work orders, real-time design and repair requests, and operational requests. The role defines cable types, distances, connectors, architectures, termination standards, installation requirements, and testing methods, as well as pathways, spaces, administration standards, grounding and bonding, and outside-plant cabling. The engineer develops solutions to routine problems of moderate scope and complexity, processes work documentation in prescribed software, and may serve as an engineering point of contact for customers. The position works under general supervision.
