Ensure that acquired and developed Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE) software products supporting spaceflight for NASA Safety and Mission Assurance (S&MA) are safe, reliable, and capable of performing their required functions.
Requirements
- The development, assurance, and certification of complex, critical computerized control systems safety for systems containing software or programmable electronics, to include implementation of technical requirements for safety. This may include NASA systems, or commercial systems (e.g., medical devices, energy, aviation).
- Distributed software control systems
- Models and simulations
- Fault Management
- UML
- Time Triggered Ethernet (TTE)
- Understanding of NASA software engineering and software assurance requirements.
- Familiar with NASA flight certification processes, or certification processes for other industries, including safety.
Responsibilities
- Ensuring that GFE software requirements, design, and products comply with NASA Flight Program and S&MA software assurance requirements.
- Assessing software development, testing, verification, process documentation, and change products to identify issues and non-compliances, and verify software and system software meets requirements.
- Analyze code to verify it is reliable, secure, and meets customer requirements (e.g., code test coverage, static analysis)
- Performing analysis to verify compliance with safety requirements, including Computer-Based Controls (e.g., SSP 50038, GP 10K), and System Safety Requirements.
- Ensuring adherence to applicable NASA standards such as NPR 7150.2 and NASA-STD-8739.8A/B.
- Deliverables include analysis and assessment reports, safety data package inputs, documented comments, issues, and discrepancies; inspection and review results; and analysis and recommendations provided to NASA/SAIC management through milestone and product reviews, program panels and boards, and the Certificate of Flight Readiness (CoFR) process.
- The role also includes drafting procedures as needed.
