CACI is looking for a Systems Engineer to work with the Active Response Gravity Offload System (ARGOS) at NASA / Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. Candidates should have a strong interest in Robotics, Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I), and most of all, possess a great passion to contribute to our Nation's exploration of space.
What You'll Get to Do:
This work involves integration and testing of the ARGOS facility upgrade to prepare for NASA's return to the Moon. ARGOS provides a reduced gravity environment used for engineering analysis, astronaut trials, and training for space operations in microgravity or lower gravity on a planetary surface. A payload such as an astronaut or robot is strapped into the ARGOS gimbal so that the system removes the effects of Earth's gravity. This will support NASA's deep-space exploration initiative and the return to the moon and on to Mars. The engineer will support the ARGOS system upgrades including assembly, integration, analysis, requirements validation, and operational test and certification for operations.
This position requires a self-motivated, capable person with strong verbal and written communication skills. In addition to outstanding technical expertise, the individual must be very people savvy, strong customer relationship skills, possess a positive team-player attitude, be flexible and willing to take on new assignments and responsibilities as they arise. Finally, the most qualified candidate will be an articulate speaker able to communicate complex technical ideas in a convincing manner, must share our passion for our Nation's Space Program, and share in the excitement of developing the next human-rated space vehicles.
More About the Role:
Job responsibilities include:

• Develop and oversee tests to validate hardware/software requirements.
• Integrate and test ARGOS subsystems, decomposing higher-level requirements.
• Perform requirements reviews and analysis, requirements verification and validation, update and maintain documentation.
• Support ARGOS System Acceptance Review (SAR) and Test Readiness Process.
• Test fault tolerances and execute Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• Perform project management activities including maintaining knowledge of significant body of dynamic information, tracking status of significant action items, change requests, etc.

This work takes place at NASA/JSC in Houston, TX, a highly stimulating and dynamic environment that is critical in human space flight and the space exploration initiative.
You'll Bring These Qualifications:

• U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident for access to USG Facilities.
• B.S. in Electrical, Computer, Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems Engineering, or related disciplines required plus a minimum 5-years' experience in full-time Systems Engineering.
• Experience in all phases of the design process (including concept development, requirements definition, prototyping, design, analysis, and validation).
• Experience with Systems Engineering, requirements verification and validation.
• Experience with the NASA Systems Engineering Design Process and design review criteria.
• Familiarity with FMEA.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work in a multi-disciplinary team of mechanical, electrical, and software engineers.
• Must be flexible, open to new challenges in a dynamic environment, and possess strong technical expertise combined with strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities with little supervision.
• Must be a highly responsible, team-oriented individual with strong work ethic.
• Must have highly developed coordination and organization skills.
  These Qualifications Would be Nice to Have:
• M.S. in Electrical, Computer, Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems Engineering or a related field.
• Experience with C/C++, DOORS (or other requirements management tool), Project Management tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence, Slack, Sharepoint, etc.)
• Background working with NASA Systems Engineering processes.
• 5+ years of Experience with the Project Management and Design cycle processes, e.g., PDR, CDR, SAR.
