You will develop training materials, run simulations, and ensure end-to-end training paths meet certification requirements across multiple subsystems.

This exempt, full-time role demands collaboration with mission management and cross-disciplinary engineering to optimize human-in-the-loop operations and mission success.

Formación

• Bachelor’s degree in aerospace, mechanical, software engineering, or other engineering discipline.
• 1+ years working in human factors engineering, human systems integration, human in the loop testing, or user research and usability testing.
• Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with other engineering disciplines.
• Demonstrated ability to critically think in high stress environments and rapidly evolving situations.
• Ability to disseminate critical engineering & technical information effectively and clearly.
• Strong communication, technical writing, and presentation development and delivery skills.
• Willing to support 24/7 operations during mission critical phases.

Responsabilidades

• Develop technical crew training materials that serve both experienced government crew members and private customers new to spaceflight operations.
• Develop technical training materials across all vehicle subsystems for flight controllers who will be operating the Haven-1 station.
• Assist execution of training simulations, including scenario construction, scripting and automation, testing and troubleshooting.
• Assist planning end-to-end training flows and execution of technical training events in support of the certification of both astronaut crew members and members of the flight control team using a variety of environments and delivery platforms.
• Develop scalable human-in-the-loop testing processes for the verification and validation of human interface requirements.
• Execute task analysis and human-in-the-loop testing for the development of crew operations, including ownership of the development and testing of all crew-facing procedures, using a variety of environments and delivery platforms.
• Support as a subject matter expert on human operation of a safety-critical system across all engineering disciplines such as analysis of crew loads, identification of human error risks and hazard controls, and development of user interfaces and displays.
• Provide operational support as the operations expert in planning for and execution of pre-flight testing and checkouts to ensure training systems, spacecraft, and ground systems are capable to execute readiness campaigns and flight.
• Work closely with Mission Management to ensure customer requirements (including but not limited to payloads, customer directed science, and other research activities) are translated to a Concept of Operations that balances all needs.
• Work with engineers across disciplines to support the development of spacecraft operations training programs and crew operations procedures with intimate knowledge of ground procedures, flight rules, hazard reports and controls, products & processes; culminating in the safe & successful operations of a newly launched spacecraft and crew.
• Identify areas for improvement of the training systems, Mission Systems, Mission Operations Software, and other ground system architecture features and processes, and collaborate with the Mission Systems Engineering & Mission/Ground Software Engineering teams to test, deploy, and maintain them.
