Senior Mechanical Engineer

We are seeking qualified licensed professional engineers to support NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) for the Facilities Engineering, Maintenance, and Operations (FEMO) Branch. Under Task Order 5 of the Engineering and Technical Support Services contract (ETSS), provides engineering and technical support for facilities construction design and modification projects at AFRC. The work objective of FEMO is to modify, maintain, and operate AFRC facilities and infrastructure to support facilities requirements to support flight research while minimizing adverse impact to operations and employees in compliance with Federal, State, Local, and NASA regulations and requirements.

We are seeking two (2) Facility Engineers in the disciplines of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering to perform requirements planning, large scale 3rd party design oversight, smaller internal project design, construction oversight and operational start-up activities. The engineers will be responsible for identifying and ensuring relevant construction codes and standards are included in accordance with NASA policy and procedures and to determine code sections relevant to the particular facility work and then advise FEMO engineers, architects, and operations specialists on the appropriate application of those code sections to the facility work. Responsibilities will include reviewing third party designs and providing input to minimize construction project disruption and avoid property loss and waste. In addition, the engineers will identify and apply code content/requirements when performing quality assurance (e.g., document reviews, work product inspections, witnessing system tests, observing construction work, observing maintenance work, etc.). These positions will require a full-time onsite presence at NASA AFRC located in Edwards, CA.
