Junior Requirements Management [Analyst/Specialist/Engineer?]

CSEngineering is looking to add a Junior Requirements [Analyst/Specialist/Engineer?] to our growing team at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland! This position supports NASA by standardizing its requirements management. Each spacecraft NASA launches begins its life as a list of requirements, the specifications NASA needs the craft to fulfill. Those requirements define the spacecraft by defining its capabilities before anything else happens. By simplifying the use of IBM DOORS, a database that has since become NASA-Goddard's default standard, to hold and track all requirements data. The first CSE-DOORS spacecraft, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, launched in 2009.

CLIENT OVERVIEW

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is home to the nation's largest organization of combined scientists and engineers that build spacecraft, instruments, and innovative technology to study the Earth, the sun, our solar system, and the Universe. Goddard currently has over 26 spacecraft studying such important scientific areas as the moon, our shrinking polar ice caps and global weather. For years, each project reinvented the wheel for each new spacecraft and occasionally, requirements fell through the cracks. DOORS allows engineers to focus on building spacecraft, rather than requirements management. Requirements - and the justification for them - carry over from project to project. Before launch, NASA has a list of all the spacecraft's up-to-date requirements and proof that every single one of them has been satisfied. Effective requirements management ensures that such issues, which are critical in one sense of the word, never have the opportunity to become critical in a more dire sense of the word.
