Job Description

Job Summary:

The Marshall Operations Systems, Services, and Integration (MOSSI) contract has an excellent opportunity for a Systems Engineer to support NASA Marshall Space Center’s Huntsville Operations Support Center (HOSC).

The HOSC provides the capabilities of a control center for multiple NASA programs and projects. The HOSC is uniquely structured and designed to provide NASA and their Partner(s) Scientists remote control of on-orbit ISS experiments and tests. Data generated from these tests is then collected and stored by the HOSC for future analysis. The HOSC’s systems are also used to collect, store, and allow for analysis of ground-generated data from similar experiments related to NASA’s Artemis programs.

HOSC systems are made up of several hundred servers utilizing virtual machine and containerization technologies. MOSSI manages a robust data storage system utilizing tools such as Dell Isilon. Most of the tools used by customers of the HOSC are developed in-house by MOSSI’s Software Development team and are custom-designed and built to meet specific requirements of payload (experiment) developers.

MOSSI System Engineers are expected to develop an in-depth understanding of the IT systems and the custom software developed and used at the HOSC. The applicant will work in a dynamic team environment and will be responsible for working with the NASA customer, users, including commercial and international partners to capture and negotiate requirements, user stories and operations concepts and then drive those change requests through the systems engineering lifecycle. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both oral and written, are required for customer interactions. Strong initiative, teamwork and problem-solving skills are also required.
