The COMET contract at NASA's Kennedy Space Center needs to develop realistic training simulations for personnel involved in hazardous and critical operations, specifically for the SLS Launch Team, to support the International Space Station, Ground Systems Development and Operations, and the Space Launch System, Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, and Launch Services programs.
Requirements
- Experience with C++
- Familiar with UNIX/Linux environment.
- Ability to read and understand engineering schematics and drawings is desirable
- Capable of reading/understanding technical manuals, drawings and schematics.
- Previous experience in Math Model Simulations is preferred.
- Position will require understanding multiple engineering disciplines evidence of academic and/or work experience in multiple engineering disciplines; mechanical, electrical, RF, controls, fluid, and software systems is highly desirable
- Computer experience with Microsoft Office products, Internet browsers and Outlook
Responsibilities
- Develop and test Software (C++ and/or Scripting) to manipulate software models to simulate realistic failures to be used as training scenarios.
- Develop Software (C++ and/or Scripting) to manipulate software models to configure the simulation to various states in a timely manner.
- Develop Software (C++ and/or Scripting) to enhance software models as needed to provide a more realistic appearance where model fidelity might be lacking.
- Interface with systems engineers to understand how the flight and ground hardware elements work.
- Integrate the model development with the GFAS Ground launch Sequencer to produce effective Launch Count Down Simulations
- Coordinate with the NASA Launch Director, the Launch Project Engineer and GSDO system engineers to develop problem scenarios from the SLS Launch Commit Criteria and other requirement sources.
- Work closely within the Simulation Training Team to prepare, debug and execute a full Operational Training Event.
Other
- BS degree in Electrical, Computer, Physics, Mechanical, Engineering Technology or Aerospace Engineering from an accredited engineering school.
- Ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects/tasks.
- Ability to work effectively and cooperatively in a team environment.
- Excellent customer interface, writing and verbal communication skills required.
- Must be self-motivated, demonstrate initiative, and be able to work independently or with minimal supervision.
