Oceaneering is a global provider of engineered services and products, primarily to the offshore energy industry. We develop products and services for use throughout the lifecycle of an offshore oilfield, from drilling to decommissioning. We operate the world's premier fleet of work class ROVs. Additionally, we are a leader in offshore oilfield maintenance services, umbilicals, subsea hardware, and tooling. We also use applied technology expertise to serve the defense, entertainment, material handling, aerospace, science, and renewable energy industries.

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!

OSS is looking for a Orion GN&C Simulation Engineer/Specialist to work with the JETS engineers and the NASA customer to develop 6-DOF Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) simulations in support of various NASA programs including the Orion and Gateway Programs These simulation tools are being developed to assist in the design, development, and oversight of the respective GN&C FSW including ascent, ascent/abort, entry/descent/landing, orbit, and rendezvous proximity operations & docking (RPOD) mission scenarios.

FUNCTIONS

• Simulation model development and validation (for support of GN&C algorithm development and the other analyses)
• Simulation scenario development and maintenance
• Data analysis and data preparation and presentation of results
• On-site support of pilot-in-the-loop work and studies
• Supporting the GN&C algorithm developers in setting up simulations and debugging
• EDGE graphics support (model development and integration with Ramtares simulation)
• Directly interact with the NASA customers, along with various NASA support contractors, during technical meetings and working groups
• Perform other duties as required

Skills and experience should demonstrate:

• Experience developing GN&C based simulation models
• Ability to code (Cpp, Python, Simulink) and implement simulation architecture updates
• Experience with Linux, C/C++ and Python
• General GN&C knowledge to debug model (sensor, dynamics, etc) and FSW performance
• Simulation data analysis (take simulation data from a set of analysis runs and develop/present informative deliverable)
• EDGE graphics model development (CAD, Blender, etc)
• EDGE simulation interface development (edge keys, relative nav overlays, etc)
• Ability to learn and work independently
• Excellent communication and documentation skills and the ability to work in a team environment consisting of NASA civil servants and various contractor employees

REQUIRED:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (or closely related field) from an accredited school, and four (4) years of related engineering experience, or a Master's degree from an accredited engineering school and two (2) years of related engineering experience, or a Ph.D. from an accredited engineering school and zero (0) years of related experience; or an equivalent combination of education and experience
• Experience with TRICK/JEOD simulation architecture
• Expertise with the Ramtares and/or Antares simulation environments
• Knowledge of MATLAB and/or Simulink/Stateflow toolboxes

PREFERENCES:

• MS in Aerospace Engineering
• Basic understanding of spacecraft dynamics and operations (RPOD) experience
• Experience with version control systems such as Git
