Habitat Systems Engineer

Overview

You will advance the design of pressurized habitats and life-support systems, from concept through prototype and test. The work is multi-disciplinary: structures, fluids, thermal, and human factors, all constrained by mass, volume, and the realities of the surface.

Responsibilities

• Develop habitat and ECLSS architecture and trades
• Design and test prototype subsystems (pressure, atmosphere, thermal, water)
• Perform safety and failure analysis on habitat systems
• Define concepts for surface assembly and modularity

Requirements

• Experience with ECLSS, pressure systems, or closed-loop life support
• Strong systems engineering and trade-study skills
• Familiarity with relevant safety and qualification standards
• Aerospace, mechanical, or equivalent engineering background

Nice to have

• Prior habitat or space station module work
• Experience with closed-loop environmental control testing
• Human factors or crew-system interface experience
