SYSTEMS ENGINEER

JOB SUMMARY:The NASA SES III contract provides services to include the design, development, implementation, and integration of science data processing applications and technology; supports instrument, spacecraft, and mission development.

The TOTAL AND SPECTRAL SOLAR IRRADIANCE SENSOR-2 (TSIS-2) mission is a Category 3 project, Payload Risk Classification D (Cat 3/Class D) free-flyer mission to provide a continuation of the solar energy monitoring provided by the TSIS-1 instruments hosted on the International Space Station (ISS). Although the science mission goals of TSIS-1 and TSIS-2 are virtually identical, TSIS-2 will be operated on a free-flying observatory with a baseline 3-year mission duration. TSIS-2 is an observatory designed to measure the total solar irradiance (TSI) data via the Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM) and the spectral solar irradiance (SSI) data via the Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM). The TIM and SIM, which are provided by the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), comprise of the instrument suite mounted on a General Atomics - Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) spacecraft bus, which provides spacecraft pointing, power, and command and data handling. GA is also responsible for providing ground elements and operating the TSIS-2 Observatory for the mission duration.Location: This position is full time and will be expected to be onsite NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD.
