CAC I is seeking a highly motivated Systems and Project Engineer to join the Gateway Vehicle Systems Manager (VSM) Mission Operations sub-team. This role focuses on developing, implementing, testing advanced data products including autonomous system management tasks, algorithms, functional and data interfaces, and certifying them to be ready for flight on the Lunar Gateway mission. The successful candidate will collaborate with NASA engineers, application and product developers, commercial partners, and international partners to develop applications and certify flight data products and documentation, contributing to deep space human exploration.

The position includes defining release content, planning, prioritizing and directing development and verification activities, and monitoring progress metrics. The Gateway in lunar orbit will support astronaut habitation and allow access to the lunar surface for exploration; it will also provide a test bed for planetary exploration spacecraft technologies. This role requires a self-motivated, capable person with strong verbal and written communication and problem-solving skills, who is people savvy, has strong customer relationship skills, a positive team-player attitude, and flexibility to take on new assignments.

The most qualified candidate will communicate complex technical ideas clearly and be enthusiastic about our Nation s Space Program. This work takes place at NASA/JSC in Houston, TX.
