HX5 is currently seeking an Aerospace Data Analytics Engineer to join our team in Cleveland, Ohio in support of the GEARS contract at NASA Glenn Research Center.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

The selected candidate will support the Human Lander System (HLS) Site Availability team in the distribution of results by exporting all site data and associated information in a variety of formats as defined and needed by the multiple customers of the analyses. The NASA Glenn developed software package, GRC Communication Analysis Suite (GCAS) is used for the analyses of selecting potential landing sites on the Moon for the Artemis III, IV, and V, missions as well as other relevant lunar missions being planned by industry partners. To facilitate the dissimenation of GCAS results, HLS Databooks are developed, but they can be difficult to query due to the volume of data and number of variables. To improve and optimtize the presentation of the GCAS results, a database approach has been identified as a solution. The selected candidate will be responsible for supporting the database development, maintaining the database, and creating new databases that are specific to NASA customers and their missions as well as industry partners and their missions.

Customers of the HLS databases will have different requirements and needs based on their own goals, which will require synthesis of information that may include a number of variables. Understanding the underlying analyses and comprehension of the GCAS results are required by the selected candidate so that the requirements from the HLS stakeholders are understood and realized. It expected that the selected candidate will also support the HLS site availability team with analyses and provide insight into improving GCAS. Primarily, the selected candidate will be responsible for the following:

• Support database development of GCAS results to support HLS needs and goals
• Create new databases to adapt to the needs and requirements of all HLS stakeholders
• Support incremental and final results, documentation, and software scripts to support the concurrent analysis cycles needed by NASA's return to the Moon
• Attend and participate in weekly meetings to provide status and support collaboration between the multi-NASA-center HLS site availability team

The selected candidate will support the HLS Site Availability Lead and the lunar landing site availability analysis team. This effort is monitored by the System Architectures and Analytical Studies Branch at NASA GRC, which provides research and engineering to define and analyze communications system architectures.

Required Skills:

• Proficient with Matlab software
• Database development
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for explanation of analyses and presentation of results
• Highly motivated and able to work independently
• Committed to successful collaboration with the NASA team and industry partners

Desired Skills:

• Familiarity or experience with modeling and simulation for space-related applications
• Familiarity or experience with space flight mechanics and orbital dynamics
• Familiarity or experience with GCAS, STK, SOAP or similar software package
• Experience working on NASA space-related projects
