Description

SAIC offers exciting and challenging opportunities to support NASA’s present and future human spaceflight programs at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas under the Safety and Mission Assurance Engineering (SMAEC III) Contract.This is an exciting time to be making history with the NASA SMA team assuring continuous human presence returning humans to the Moon and then to Mars safely. You will offer support through government collaboration with commercial space companies. You will apply design and operations knowledge and expertise in various areas of system safety, reliability, quality engineering and assurance, software, probabilistic risk assessment, and others.

Job Description:

• This position requires the ability to evaluate complex hardware and operational systems from a systems safety perspective, identify credible hazardous conditions, determine causes and controls, assess verification evidence, and document safety rationale in accordance with applicable program and NASA human spaceflight safety requirements.

• The engineer will work closely with systems engineering, design engineering, operations, reliability, quality, human factors, EVA, crew systems, and program safety organizations.

• Author, revise, and maintain system and hardware Hazard Reports throughout the applicable program lifecycle.

• Support design reviews and evaluate systems and planned operations for compliance with applicable safety requirements.

• Perform hazard analysis for assigned systems and projects to identify all potential hazards, hazard causes and necessary controls to mitigate risk to crew and mission success.

• Assist with the development of Test and Verification (T&V) requirements and review of T&V results to verify efficacy of hazard controls.

• Perform qualitative and quantitative risk assessments based on relative strengths / weaknesses of hazard controls.

• Coordinate with reliability engineers to ensure consistency between system safety and reliability analysis (e.g. Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) failure mode mapping to hazard causes and criticality assessments).

• Provide recommendations to program/project management regarding risk mitigations.

• Present hazard analysis results and recommendations to NASA management for formal risk acceptance.

• Evaluate anomalies, non-conformances and proposed changes to system design or planned operations for impacts to system safety and reliability analysis.

• Participate in design reviews, program/project review boards, safety review panels and other technical forums to ensure safety and mission assurance risks are properly identified and addressed.
