POSITION SUMMARY:
The DSN Facilities Electrical Power Operations Engineer (Power OE) is responsible for sustaining and supporting the development of the electrical power assemblies in the Facilities and Antenna Subsystems serving NASA's Deep Space Communications Complexes (DSCCs) in Australia, Spain and California.
MAJOR JOB ACTIVITIES:
The power assemblies encompass electrical equipment located in Data and Signal Processing Centers (SPCs), multi-frequency antennas, and administrative and support-type buildings. Electrical distribution experience (2400/480/208/120V; 50/60/400Hz), diesel engine electrical generation, and monitor/control experience is highly preferred. The candidate will assist in the planning, design, analysis, cost estimating, and overall technical direction of the power subsystem in support of the Deep Space Network (DSN), Development, Operations and Service Office (DDOSO), Office 925 at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The Power OE shall also serve as project implementation engineer for repair and/or replacement projects, and under the direction of the Cognizant Design Engineer (CDE), the candidate may be expected to take the technical lead in the implementation of projects involving the centralization and automation of electrical distribution, generation, and monitor/control systems. The Power OE may also assist the Power CDE in specifying hardware, preparing construction drawings and specifications, as well as financial and budgetary responsibilities. The candidate shall support in the resolution of technical power system problems and implementation of corrections, including analysis of equipment performance, equipment replacement and identification of spare parts. Additional responsibilities include support of the DSN Engineering Change Management (ECM) Board in the development, evaluation and costing of Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), the preparation and delivery of Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) or Modification Kits (Modkits), and the troubleshooting, resolution and closure of Discrepancy Reports (DRs). The candidate will be expected to quickly familiarize himself with the forms and functions of the DSN power distribution and control systems, working closely in coordination with supporting HVAC, Civil, and Fire Protection engineers, as well as with operations personnel at the DSCCs. Overseas travel may be required.
