In this capacity, the position provides both system engineering and software engineering support to the Dryden Aeronautic Test Range (DATR), including gathering requirements for the Mission Control Center (MCC) real-time displays, performing derived parameter code calculations, processing, and reviewing post-flight data, and carrying out other mission-critical tasks. Additionally, the role involves supporting real-time control room operations, troubleshooting flight system anomalies, managing DATR configurations, and serving as project liaison for Range engineering. This is a full-time onsite position at NASA Armstrong located in Edwards, CA. The salary range is $100K to $120K based on skill level and experience. Primary purpose is to provide pre-mission, mission, and post mission support at Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC), which will include the following: Pre-mission Responsibilities: Gather project requirements for: Real-time displays Software Data Processing Data archival Generate work orders. Update the Interactive Analysis and Display System (IADS) configuration file. Port discipline engineer algorithms into real-time C (RTC) code for derived parameters. Integrate updates int a Mission Control Center (MCC) control room build. Support control room training sessions using the X-59 SIM. Coordinate with: DATR OPS DATR software developers Air Force contractor JT4 Perform control room build checkout at the Telemetry and Radar Acquisition Processing System (TRAPS) and MCC. Conduct verification and validation (V&V) for all changes. Review and collect IADS validation log files. Generate a TIE TRAPS checklist for future TIE TRAPS checks. Track “Required by Dates” to ensure support coverage is scheduled. Mission Responsibilities: Perform a TIE TRAPS check prior to real-time operations. Staff the MCC during mission execution to provide support for displays, software, and data processing issues. Generate TIE mission notes, highlighting items requiring additional investigation. Post-Mission Responsibilities: Collect mission deliverables and upload them to BOX for access by Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMCO). Collect discipline engineer screen captures from display stations. Collect and archive IADS log files and IADS archive files.
