We have an exciting opportunity for a
Facility Electrical Engineer to join the team with GeoControl Systems, a teammate company.
We are seeking a motivated early-career Electrical Engineer with a strong interest in power systems, controls, data acquisition, and test facility engineering to join the Electrical, Data and Controls Section working with the System Test Branch (EC4) within the Crew and Thermal Systems Division at NASA's Johnson Space Center. EC4 develops, operates, and maintains ground test facilities that support crew systems, life support technologies, thermal control hardware, spacecraft power systems, and flight-relevant environmental testing.
You will join a multidisciplinary team responsible for designing, integrating, and operating complex test systems that simulate spacecraft and planetary environments. This role is suited for candidates enthusiastic about hands-on engineering, control system integration, laboratory testing, and supporting technology development for human spaceflight.
Key Responsibilities- Design,build, and troubleshoot electrical and control systems for ground testfacilities, including power distribution, instrumentation, safetyinterlocks, and data acquisition systems.
- DevelopPLC- and HMI-based control architectures for automated test operations,vacuum systems, fluid loops, thermal systems, environmental chambers, orlife-support test rigs.
- Produceengineering documentation including electrical schematics, wiringdiagrams, panel layouts, and test procedures in compliance with NASA andJSC safety standards.
- Integratesensors, instrumentation, and data acquisition hardware for facilitymonitoring and test-article evaluation.
- Supportend-to-end system checkout, functional testing, verification/validation,and facility readiness activities.
- Troubleshootfacility components such as pumps, valves, relays, pressure/temperatureinstrumentation, and power electronics elements.
- Collaborateclosely with mechanical, thermal, power, and test engineering teams tosupport human spaceflight development projects.
- Participatein design reviews, hazard analysis, work planning, and configurationmanagement.
- Operatetest facilities during engineering evaluations, technology developmentcampaigns, and mission-support activities.
