Portable Life Support System (PLSS) Project Engineer presso Jacobs Engineering Group

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 a Portable Life Support System (PLSS) Project Engineer to join the team with ERC , a teammate company.

As a Portable Life Support System (PLSS) Project Engineer you will:

• Perform project engineering functions supporting the spacesuit Portable Life Support System (PLSS), including hardware development, assembly, and maintenance
• Define, develop, procure, and build new ground support equipment (GSE) and test support equipment (TSE) needed for the evaluation of spacesuit hardware
• Plan and execute hardware troubleshooting to investigate mechanical and electrical failures within flight hardware, development test articles, or test support hardware
• Develop essential documentation for the system including assembly procedures, test plans, detailed test procedures, and any additional operations-related products
• ​Work with the PLSS Team leadership to update plans and agreements for PLSS work scope.

• Work with the PLSS team leads to capture any new risks to the PLSS project/technical scope, or to update the status of PLSS Risk  Mitigation Plans
