• Willing to travel approx. 10-20% (as required)
• This position may require the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance, which is issued by the US government. U.S citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance.

• Advanced degree in aeronautics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or related STEM field
• Experience with NASA, specifically the NASA Space Environments Test Management Office (SETMO).
• Significantly more than twelve (12) years of applicable professional experience (post-bachelors)
