Description
Belong. Connect. Grow. We are a contract of innovators, thinkers, creators, explorers, volunteers and dreamers and we all share one goal: to improve the world responsibly and safely. On the Human Health and Performance Contract we are at the forefront of safeguarding astronaut health, ensuring human performance, and advancing technologies for human space exploration. We are seeking a Human Landing System (HLS) Discipline Integrator at the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, TX.
What You’ll Do:
In this role, you will be supporting the JSC Health and Medical Technical Authority (HMTA). The purpose of the JSC HMTA is to execute the Technical Authority governance model for human space flight for the NASA Headquarters Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer (OCHMO). The focus of HMTA in human spaceflight programs is on the Program's vehicle design implementation of HMTA Standards (NASA-STD-3001), ensuring that each human spaceflight Program defines the appropriate applicability, tailoring, and verification approach for NASA-STD-3001, Volumes 1 and 2. This is accomplished through dedicated and cross-matrixed Human Health and Performance (HH&P) and integration personnel. This highly diverse staff develops and approves the applicable set of Program human health and performance requirements and monitors how well they are met, documents issues of unmet or under met requirements, communicates the status of these issues to Human Health and Performance (HH&P) management, Program Medical Officers (PMOs), and Chief Health and Performance Officers (CHPOs), and prepares materials for communicating awareness or escalating issues as needed. This work is done for all current and emerging NASA human space flight programs, the Human Research Program, and other human-related technology programs.
In this role, you will be part of a team of integrators and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who work together to ensure HLS adequately incorporates and implements NASA HMTA standards from NASA-STD-3001. The Discipline Integrator organizes and implements processes that facilitate HH&P and HMTA review of commercial vendor documentation and coordinates discussions and products to help assess vendor implementation of HMTA requirements. This position coordinates discussion of human system requirements and the associated HH&P topics between SMEs, commercial vendor integration leads, and other stakeholders. The Discipline Integrator will obtain and maintain knowledge of a specific subset of human health and performance requirements including their applicability to HLS and will maintain awareness of commercial vendor implementation of these requirements. This position will support the HLS HMTA and HHP personnel with communications, maintaining situational awareness, and preparation of related materials to execute those tasks. This position interfaces with HMTA and JSC HHP Division personnel, Program and Project personnel, and commercial vendors. Human Systems Integration strategies are implemented to inform the HMTA and efficiently support Human Spaceflight Programs. Lessons learned while providing support to Human Spaceflight Programs are leveraged to improve HMTA standards and strategic processes.
You will:
- Establish and maintain general knowledge of HMTA Standards and commercial vendor implementation of applicable HMTA Standards.
- Identify, communicate, and help coordinate discussion of issues related to HHP that impact HLS.
- Participate in designated meetings. This includes proactive screening of agendas, engaging appropriate HHP representatives and/or SMEs as needed, taking notes during meetings, and communicating relevant information to the HMTA/HHP team.
- Coordinate with HMTA, HHP Management, HHP technical SMEs, HLS Program personnel, and commercial vendors.
- Coordinate and participate in Program document and design reviews, which includes identifying ways to streamline processes and issues that may impact completion of tasks.
- Participate in HMTA meetings, NASA Human Spaceflight Program meetings, HHP meetings, and internal team meetings; develop and deliver presentations as necessary.
What You Bring:
- You bring experience collaborating and coordinating with multi-disciplined teams, ability to work independently and as part of team, and knowledge of (or ability to learn quickly) human spaceflight standards and disciplines. You use your experience and judgment to listen to Subject Matter Experts (SME), and to understand enough to represent their expertise, but not to serve as the expert to the exclusion of the SME. You will have or gain the ability to recognize which stakeholders are necessary for specific discussions, actions, and activities so that you can proactively engage those stakeholders when necessary.
Your Qualifications:
- A bachelor’s degree in engineering or closely related field and at least 3 years’ relevant experience.
- Ability to work in Microsoft Office's suite of tools, especially Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, and SharePoint.
- A knowledge of NASA’s Human System Standards (e.g., NASA-STD-3001) and the disciplines within Human Health and Performance is highly desired.
- Demonstrated experience with human systems requirements and verification in human spaceflight vehicle design and/or with NASA Technical Authority is desired.
- Experience in NASA spaceflight operations is desired.
- Knowledge of NASA’s HLS Program is desired.
Your Skills:
- Demonstrated ability to work independently.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills including delivering presentations and writing reports. Verbal skills also include the ability to speak up in meetings and guide discussions.
- Demonstrated ability to write, decompose, and tailor human systems design and verification statements is desired.
- Demonstrated experience with human factors activities such as human-in-the-loop tests and task analyses is desired.
- Ability to effectively interact with customers at all levels.
