MRI Technologies has an exciting opportunity for a Facility Electrical Engineer on the JETS II contract at NASA Johnson Space Center. In this role, you will support the design, integration, and operation of ground test facilities that enable human spaceflight development, working alongside NASA civil servants, multidisciplinary engineering teams, and teammate company Bastion to deliver reliable electrical and control systems for the Crew and Thermal Systems Division's System Test Branch (EC4). EC4 develops, operates, and maintains ground test facilities supporting crew systems, life support technologies, thermal control hardware, spacecraft power systems, and flight-relevant environmental testing.

A typical day involves designing, building, and troubleshooting electrical and control systems for test facilities-ranging from power distribution and instrumentation to safety interlocks and data acquisition. In the morning you may be developing PLC- and HMI-based control architectures for automated test operations, or producing electrical schematics and wiring diagrams in compliance with NASA and JSC safety standards. In the afternoon you could be integrating sensors and data acquisition hardware for facility monitoring, troubleshooting components such as pumps, valves, relays, and pressure/temperature instrumentation, or supporting end-to-end system checkout and verification activities. You might also be collaborating with mechanical, thermal, and power engineering teams, participating in design reviews and hazard analysis, or operating test facilities during technology development campaigns that directly support NASA's human spaceflight missions. The work is hands-on, technically demanding, and tied to enabling safe exploration beyond Earth.

What We Are Looking For

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution
• Demonstrated experience troubleshooting electrical and instrumentation systems
• Experience with electrical wiring schematics and control panel design
• Experience working in a test facility or laboratory environment
• Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office products

Preferences:

• 0-5 years of professional experience in electrical engineering, controls engineering, test engineering, or related fields
• Candidate should be highly motivated and have strong interest in power systems, controls, data acquisition,and test facility engineering
• Design, programming, and implementation of PLC control systems (e.g., Allen-Bradley)
• Experience with HMI design and operator interface development
• Development of safety interlocks and automated controls for vacuum systems, fluid systems, or environmental test facilities
• Experience with data acquisition tools (LabVIEW, Python, fiber-optic sensors, flow/pressure measurement)
• Background supporting aerospace, research laboratories, or environmental simulation facilities
• Experience designing and validating electrical systems for high-reliability or hazardous test environments
• Familiarity with power electronics, power distribution, or spacecraft-relevant electrical systems
• Proficiency in test procedure writing, testing documentation, and formal system checkout
• Familiarity with NASA JSC organizations, processes, and procedures

This position has been posted at multiple levels. Depending on your experience and business needs, we may consider candidates at any level for which the position has been advertised.

Benefits and Perks

We offer a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, company paid life and disability insurance, paid time off, and 401(k). You'll also enjoy a 9/80 work schedule (every other Friday off, when applicable), and strong career development opportunities working alongside NASA's human spaceflight teams.
