Job Description
Job Description
We are seeking a talented Spacecraft Lighting Systems Engineer to join our team working on the Simulation and Advanced Software Services II Contract. This role focuses on the design, development, and integration of lighting systems for spacecraft. Candidates with experience in lighting systems from industries like automotive, aviation, architectural, or industrial environments are encouraged to apply, as we value transferable skills in illumination analysis and technology. This is an opportunity to adapt your expertise to the unique challenges of space missions.
Key Responsibilities :
- Contribute to the specification, design, and development of advanced lighting systems for spacecraft interiors (e.g., crew cabins, control panels) and exteriors (e.g., docking lights, surface illumination).
- Serve as a Lighting Subject Matter Expert (SME) for research, development, and verification of lighting systems for human-rated vehicles
- Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and human factors engineering teams to integrate lighting systems into spacecraft architectures, ensuring compatibility with power, thermal, and structural constraints.
- Optimize lighting for variable conditions, including low-gravity, radiation, and power efficiency, while addressing human-centric aspects like circadian rhythm support and task-specific illumination.
- Plan and execute testing protocols (e.g., thermal vacuum, vibration, EMI) to ensure lighting systems perform reliably in space-like conditions.
- Stay current with the newest lighting and modeling technologies available.
Required Qualifications :
Desired Qualifications :
Citizenship or lawful permanent resident required due to federal position.
