Shire Jobs

This position will directly support International Space Station (ISS) as well as all future exploration missions relating to Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS). This position encompasses duties and responsibilities for maintaining life support systems aboard the ISS, discovering methodologies for making existing ISS ECLSS more efficient, and for troubleshooting and correcting anomalous phenomena aboard the ISS. Support includes mechanical design and modeling of specialized test articles, test stands, and test support equipment with respect to fluid and thermal components. Job responsibilities: Work as part of a team of engineers, chemists, and technicians providing support to NASA while maintaining a strong consciousness about safety. Provide technical mechanical engineering expertise to assist and support the research and development of water recovery efforts for ISS and advanced exploration initiatives. o General electro and mechanical knowledge as well as knowledge of fluid transport and thermal systems is highly sought after. Support writing test protocols, conduction of tests, test stand build-ups, and interpretation and reporting of test results. Work with project level and flight system engineers as they define their operational requirements, system performance, configuration, component selection, safety, and quality before and during the testing phases. Job Requirements: A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or other related engineering field is required. A degree from an ABET-accredited university is preferred. Typically, educational requirement is a BS with 0-5 years of experience. Required Skills: Applicable experience directly related to Aerospace testing and/or test data collection and analysis. Knowledge of thermalfluid components, systems, and associated instrumentation. Knowledge of electrical and mechanical systems. Experience with the build-up and disassembly of test stands. Experience with development of test procedures. Experience in interpretation of post experimental test data. Experience in sourcing instrumentation and test stand components. Schedule and coordinate machine shop schedule for parts (scrum). Experience with Systems Engineering requirements, risk developments, and trade study developments. Experience with some statistics/graphing software (e.g., Excel, PowerPoint, etc.). Ability to review documents and manuscripts. Preferred Skills: Familiarity with Labview 3D print knowledge CAD knowledge
