HX5 is currently seeking an early career Aerospace Engineer to join our team in Brook Park, Ohio in support of the GEARS contract at NASA Glenn Research Center.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

The selected candidate will support NASA’s mission of landing Boots on the Moon in 2028 by supporting Human Landing System (HLS) and Moon Base. These ambitious goals require independent assessments of the data, results, and recommendation delivered by the HLS and Moon Base providers. The selected candidate will join an established team that is already conducting independent analyses of HLS and Moon Base data and providing those results and recommendations to NASA and their providers.

These efforts to support HLS and Moon Base will involve complex data analysis and synthesis of cross-discipline information. The selected candidate will be responsible for the following:

• Provide incremental and final results, documentation, and software scripts to support the concurrent analysis cycles needed by NASA’s return to the Moon Base.
• Review plans for follow-on cycles and make recommendations for improvement
• Attend and participate in weekly meetings to provide status and support collaboration between the multi-NASA center HLS and Moon Base teams.

In addition, to improve and optimize the presentation of results, the selected candidate will be responsible for supporting the Database Technical Lead for database development and database maintenance. The databases are specific to NASA customers and their missions, as well as industry partners and their missions.

This technical effort will use the Glenn Research Center Communication Analysis Suite (GCAS) software package. GCAS was developed to simulate potential orbits of spacecraft and to optimize characteristics of a mission in a visual representation. In addition, analysis and synthesis of data, related to mission constraints and figures of merit, will be required to support and assess the HLS and Moon Base site selections.

This effort is monitored by the Architecture Definition and Systems Analysis Branch at NASA GRC, which provides research and engineering to define and analyze communications system architectures.
