This position involves performing and leading a team of software engineers in implementing, executing, and evaluating results of the Orion spacecraft FSW unit test cases across various FSW domains.

Orion is NASAs next generation crewed spacecraft that will rendezvous with the Gateway space station in Lunar orbit. Gateway is intended to serve as a communication hub, science laboratory, and short-term habitation to stage astronauts transferring to or returning from the lunar surface. Gateway will also be used as a testbed to develop technologies needed for crewed missions to Mars.

+ Troubleshoot issues with failed test cases.

+ Perform C/C++ code reviews to spot errors in the code logic.

+ Collaborate with NASA and prime contractor SMEs for resolving unit test case issues.

This work takes place at NASA/JSC in Houston, TX, a highly stimulating and dynamic environment that is critical in human space flight and the space exploration initiative.

**Youll Bring These Qualifications:**

+ Must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident.

+ B.S. in Aerospace, Electrical, Computer or Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or related disciplines required.

+ Experience leading a software development or software test team.

+ Experience providing technical mentorship to software engineers.

+ 3-5 Years Minimum experience programming in C++. Greater experience is highly valued.

+ Strong experience performing unit testing using Google Test and gMock (expert level is highly valued).

+ Experience debugging unit test issues including determining the difference between test framework problems created by the tester and problems with the flight code.

+ Experience with C++ software unit testing in Aerospace or other industries, e.g., commercial software, oil and gas, petrochemical, etc.

+ Must be flexible, open to new challenges in a dynamic environment, and possess strong technical expertise combined with strong verbal and written communication skills.

+ Ability to manage multiple priorities with little supervision.

+ Must be a highly responsible, team-oriented individual with strong work ethic.

+ Must have highly developed coordination and organization skills.
