Grow With Us
Your growth matters to us-that's why we offer a variety of ways for you to develop your career. With professional and leadership development opportunities like education reimbursement, mentoring, and company sponsored networking events, you can take control of your own career path on your own terms with a company that believes in you.
A Place Where You Belong
At ASED, we reflect a diversity of cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. We expect our people, clients, and partners to treat one another with dignity and respect. This means promoting inclusion, celebrating engagement, and appreciating the differences we all bring to our workplace.
Support Your Well-Being
Our comprehensive benefits package includes wellness programs, 11 paid holidays, parental leave, paid time off, employee perks and much more. With these benefits, plus the option for flexible schedules we'll support you as you pursue a balanced, fulfilling life-at work and at home.
Overview:
We are seeking an experienced and motivated Senior Systems Engineer with strong Mechanical Engineering background to provide mass properties engineering and system engineering support for launch and in-space vehicles for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) and the Human Landing System (HLS) programs, with potential for derivative work in other NASA programs. This position is within the EV73 Systems Analysis & Human Systems Integration Branch and plays a critical role in guiding vehicle mass properties analysis and integration.
The selected candidate will interface with multidisciplinary engineering teams, customers, and stakeholders, and provide technical leadership in mass properties analysis, reporting, and oversight of contractor work.
Key Responsibilities
Required Qualifications:
BS degree in Mechanical, Aerospace or Systems Engineering or related field is required. Degree from an ABET accredited institution is preferred. Typically, educational requirements are the equivalent of a Masters with at least 3 years of experience, or a BS with at least 5 years of experience.
Required:
Preferred/Desired Qualifications
A technical proficiency assessment may be required as part of the selection process to evaluate relevant Systems and Mechanical Engineering knowledge.
Essential Functions
Work Environment
Office environment. Requires ability to provide clear, concise, accurate and timely communication, both verbally and in writing (100%). Requires ability to interact professionally with co-workers, management, and client (100%). Requires travel in the domestic USA (
Physical Requirements
Requires sitting for extended periods of time in meetings with peers, management, and with our client at NASA facilities to discuss technical issues (10%). Also, requires sitting for extended periods of time at a desk to write reports and perform engineering tasks (80%). Requires ability to use stairs or elevators for access between floors and multiple buildings at NASA and other facilities (10%).
Equipment and Machines
Requires ability to operate a personal computer, a telephone, fax machine, copier, calculator, and other general office equipment (100%).
Attendance
Normal workday is from 7:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m., Monday thru Friday. Minimal overtime may be required (10%) to meet schedule milestones and to support technical demands of the job. Regular attendance is a necessity and adequate arrangements for delegating duties during absences are required.
Other Essential Functions
The ability to work independently with minimal supervision, to make rational decisions, and to exercise good judgment is essential (100%). Grooming and dress must be appropriate for the position and must not impose a safety risk/hazard to the employee or others.
Proof of U.S. Citizenship is required.

Key Responsibilities
- Provide oversight and insight of contractor-developed mass properties data.
- Support and review systems engineering products at key milestones.
- Perform static and time-sequence mass properties estimation including sensitivity and uncertainty analyses.
- Develop Technical Performance Metric (TPM) charts and comprehensive mass properties reports (mass, CG, moments of inertia, products of inertia).
- Support trajectory and GN&C design input through detailed mass properties data.
- Execute conceptual mass properties estimations, bottoms-up calculations, and weight control planning.
- Coordinate technical integration of mass properties analyses across disciplines.
- Collaborate with design and stress analysts to identify mass optimization opportunities.
- Work with GN&C, operations, and vehicle performance teams to enhance performance objectives.
- Develop or enhance tools and processes to improve mass properties analysis capabilities.
- Validate and verify input/output data from the NASA Mass Properties Analysis and Reporting Tool (MPART).
Required Qualifications:
BS degree in Mechanical, Aerospace or Systems Engineering or related field is required. Degree from an ABET accredited institution is preferred. Typically, educational requirements are the equivalent of a Masters with at least 3 years of experience, or a BS with at least 5 years of experience.
Required:
- Experience with mass properties engineering for aerospace vehicles and subsystems.
- Proficiency in MATLAB with experience developing or modifying custom applications.
- Familiarity with CREO or other 3D CAD modeling software.
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, interface control documents, and technical specifications.
- Strong analytical and mathematical skills for systems and component-level mass assessments.
- Effective problem-solving, communication, and technical leadership skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook).
Preferred/Desired Qualifications
- Experience with cryogenic, solid fuel, or other fluid mass properties management.
- Participation in weight integration and mass properties working groups.
- Use of CAD tools like Pro-E/CREO and database applications.
- Familiarity with NASA or contractor development environments and NASA systems engineering processes.
