Engineering Technician Level III (PPDS) 2nd Shift

Check out this NEW Opportunity with Axient!:

This 2nd shift position is in support of the METTS III contract at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) on the Redstone Arsenal located in Huntsville Alabama.

This position is in direct support of the Pressurant and Propellant Delivery Systems (PPDS) group supporting propulsion test activities as well as other pressure systems activity across MSFC.

What you will do...:

• PPDS Technicians serve a multi-craft role and are expected to function as or learn to function as Machine operators, fabricators, Mechanics, and Truck Drivers.
• The Engineering technician in this role will perform routine assignments under close supervision from provided detail procedures.
• Provide assistance to plan and organize work operations necessary to setup, operate and maintain mechanical systems used in pressure systems and other associated major components related to pressure systems operations.
• Systems include compressors, pumps, valves, hydraulic machinery, and other equipment required to provide propellant/pressurant services to customers across MSFC.
• Provide assistance to higher level engineering technicians to fabricate, assemble, modify, and test specialized mechanical systems and sub-systems used in supporting propulsion test and Propellants/Pressurants Distribution Systems operations.
• Provide support in conducting various operations that may require minor modifications in the setup of systems that utilize potentially hazardous medium such as: cryogenics, high pressure gases, various propellants and oxidizers, and high pressure hydraulics.
• The Engineering Technician should be familiar with mechanical equipment such as tube flaring, valves, regulators, gauges, hydraulic pumps, air compressors and other mechanical machinery associated with pressure systems.

Skills you will need...:

• Knowledge in pressure system operations at a NASA Facility is strongly desired.
• CDL Class A with Hazmat endorsement preferred
• Must meet all applicable safety requirements.
• Ability to lift up to 40 lbs on occasion
• sit or stand for long periods of time
• ability to use and climb ladders and maneuver through tight spaces.
