Electrical Engineer II
The Electrical Engineer Designer will participate in the development of the hardware components of ground and flight hardware systems that will contribute to accomplishing NASA’s mission, primarily for maintaining the health and wellbeing of astronauts or conducting experiments on the International Space Station and for exploration. The primary function of this position is Design: the incumbent must possess the skill to effectively and efficiently design electrical systems and exhibit strong critical thinking and communication skills in order to proactively support multi-disciplinary project teams.
The Electrical Engineer Designer will directly design electrical, data and power sub-systems including design support, cabling, component identification, part selection, circuit design and layout, drawing development and release. The incumbent will also support the fabrication, assembly, test, and troubleshooting of the sub-systems/systems, ensure timely procurements, support in the review of design requirements and proposed verification methods. This role involves full project lifecycle engineering work including, but not limited to, requirements generation and definition, hardware/software conceptual design and test, hardware/software preliminary design and test, hardware/software detailed design and test, hardware/software assembly/fabrication, hardware/software acceptance and qualification test support, hardware/software operations support in support of assigned projects in the Design Engineering and Fabrication Section of the Flight Hardware Department.
The Electrical Engineer Designer is expected to:
1) Exhibit proficiency of skill related to electrical/electronic engineering principles and practices and be able to make independent decisions on a broad range of space-related engineering problems.
2) Act proactively and independently to evaluate, select, and apply standard and advanced engineering techniques, procedures and criteria and use judgement to make decisions to provide engineering solutions to problems. The Electrical Engineer Designer will receive technical guidance on unusual or complex problems and supervisory approval on proposed plans for projects.
3) Serve in technical leadership roles.
4) Have work reviewed to ensure sound profession judgment has been employed and participate in the review of others work to ensure the quality of that work.
