TITLE:

Project Engineer (Supporting NASA at Johnson Space Center)
BELONG. CONNECT. GROW. with KBR.
Around here, we define the future. We are a company of innovators, thinkers, creators, explorers, volunteers, and dreamers. But we all share one goal: to improve the world responsibly and safely.
The purpose of the Project Engineer position is to provide engineering support for the development, fabrication, assembly, and testing of hardware for use on exploration missions (e.g. Orion) as well as the International Space Station (ISS). This position is in support of the Human Health and Performance Contract (HHPC) at NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC).
Successful candidate will play a pivotal role in the successful execution of projects and delivery of hardware to NASA/JSC in support of exploration missions (e.g. Orion) and the ISS. Candidate will develop key skills needed for requirements development and verification, parts identification, hardware development, testing, certification/delivery, and sustaining. This position will require the candidate to become well versed in the quality process for the development and sustainment of controlled hardware, including the writing of Task Performance Sheet and disposition of Discrepancy Reports. Candidate will be responsible for reviewing and understanding engineering drawings on a daily basis as well as overseeing and participating in hands on development activities. Effective communication will be a critical skill in working with the project, other project engineers, technical support staff, and quality engineering personnel. This position will require the candidate to multitask in an extremely busy and challenging environment while keeping up with a volatile delivery schedule.
