What is the difference between Remote Flight Simulator Technician vs Remote Aircraft Maintenance Technician?

AspectRemote Flight Simulator TechnicianRemote Aircraft Maintenance Technician
CertificationsFAA certifications, simulator-specific trainingFAA certifications, aircraft maintenance licenses
Work EnvironmentHome office, simulation labs, remote troubleshootingHome office, aircraft hangars, remote diagnostics
Industry UsageFlight training centers, airlines, simulation providersAirlines, private operators, maintenance companies

The Remote Flight Simulator Technician primarily focuses on maintaining and troubleshooting flight simulators remotely, requiring specialized training and certifications related to simulation systems. In contrast, the Remote Aircraft Maintenance Technician works on actual aircraft systems, often requiring FAA aircraft maintenance licenses. Both roles involve remote diagnostics and support but serve different aspects of aviation operations.

Job description

Are you passionate about human space exploration, understanding the origins of the universe, and working with a passionate and diverse team to make a difference? If you are, we need you!

We need your talent, teamwork, and energy to help us achieve great things that inspire people all over the globe. We need you to bring creative ideas and diverse backgrounds to help us envision, shape, and deliver systems that will enable the exploration of space while benefiting people here on Earth. We are excited about what we do, and we need you on our team as we take on exciting challenges for NASA's pursuits in deep space exploration.

We have an exciting opportunity for a GN&C Senior Engineer- Controls, Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Engineer to join our ESSCA contract team at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. 

If selected you will:

  • • Review and analyze the mission design and/or the Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) design of Golden Dome providers, perform independent verification and/or validation of contractor results where necessary, and identify risks in the providers' proposed concepts and designs.
    • Review and co-develop Concepts of Operations (ConOps) for in-space technology demonstration satellite bus contractors and proposed missions, including operational modes, mission phases, state transitions, nominal and contingency operations, and command and control architecture.
    • Review, analyze, and simulate (in Systems Tool Kit (STK) or equivalent) in-space deployer platform trajectories, including orbital mechanics validation, orbital variation analysis of deployed assets, and evaluation of deployment sequencing and phasing strategies.
    • Review, analyze, and independently simulate in-space deployer pointing stability performance and detumble requirements for deployed assets, including analysis of angular rates, momentum management, disturbance torques, separation dynamics, and time-to-stabilization for deployed payloads.
    • Review, analyze, and independently simulate pointing accuracy and stability of multiple assets within the Golden Dome architecture, including jitter analysis, slew rate performance, target tracking capabilities, line-of-sight stability, attitude knowledge and control error budgets, and inter-satellite relative attitude coordination.
    • Review and assist with technology maturation efforts through the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) scale for ultimate incorporation into Golden Dome assets, including assessment of development progress, identification of technical gaps, evaluation of test and validation approaches, and recommendations for advancement criteria.
    • Attend offsite Technical Interchange Meetings (TIMs) with providers and subcontractors to review technical progress, assess design maturity, provide independent technical evaluation, and identify integration risks and mitigation strategies.
    • Attend regular status meetings with NASA management and critical stakeholders to provide technical briefings, communicate risk assessments, report on provider performance, and coordinate inter-agency technical activities.

Qualifications:

This position has been posted at multiple levels. Depending on the candidate's experience, requirements, and business needs, we reserve the right to consider candidates at any level for which this position has been advertised.

    • Demonstrated ability to design ADCS systems (PID, state space, etc.) and analyze ADCS performance including jitter analysis and stability analysis in the time and frequency domain (Nicols, Bode, Nyquist, Root Locus, etc.)
    • Capability to model spacecraft components/subsystems such as: mass properties, Thrust Vector Control (TVC) actuators, Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters, reaction wheels, slosh, pogo, rigid and/or flexible body dynamics.
    • Understanding of and simulation of orbital mechanics and trajectories for spacecraft and launch vehicles in Systems Tool Kit (STK) or equivalent tools.
    • Programming in MATLAB, Simulink, and C/C++. This includes debugging and improving the efficiency of simulation tools.
    • Experience in performing software development, verification, and validation.
