The Maintenance Team is responsible for the overall maintainability of the space station, including defining the maintenance concept and requirements, performing Level of Repair Analysis (LORA), performing Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA), providing feedback on maintainability of designs, performing sparing analysis, and integrating the minimum spares list.
We're looking for logistics engineering candidates with skills/experience in one or more of the following areas:
On-orbit Cargo & Stowage Planning

• Managing manifests for crew and cargo missions
• Performing analysis to determine launch cadence to support customer & resupply needs.
• Working with design teams on on-orbit stowage crew interfaces and layout
• Working with subsystem teams to understand consumable rates & report on consumable demands & predicted levels.
• Long term on-orbit stowage planning
• Developing requirements for software tools needed to perform the cargo & stowage planning function.
• Familiarity with CRS2 vehicles or ISS desired

Cargo Packing

• Experience designing foam or other packing material to protect hardware launched in cargo bags on visiting vehicles.
