Shire Jobs

Are you passionate about human space exploration, understanding the origins of the universe, and working with a passionate and diverse team to make a difference? If you are, we need you!

We need your talent, teamwork, and energy to help us achieve great things that inspire people all over the globe. We need you to bring creative ideas and diverse backgrounds to help us envision, shape, and deliver systems that will enable the exploration of space while benefiting people here on Earth. We are excited about what we do, and we need you on our team as we take on exciting challenges for NASA’s pursuits in deep space exploration. As NASA’s largest engineering solutions provider working together with NASA at centers across the United States.

We have an exciting opportunity for an EHP EE Systems Engineer to join the team.

The Pressurized Rover (PR) is a mobile habitation vehicle focused on supporting crewed (2 crewmembers/suits) and uncrewed Artemis Program science and exploration objectives. When crewed, the PR provides a pressurized mobility system that supports exploration for long durations and distances away from the landing vehicle, extending the reach and exploration capabilities of other mobility assets. It will hold and be able to charge 2 suits simultaneously. When uncrewed, the PR with low or unpressurized cabin provides year-round science and exploration capabilities through science payloads and remote operation.
