Job Description:
Science Systems and Applications, Inc., (SSAI) located in Hampton, VA seeks a motivated Operations and Test Engineer to provide support to the Air Traffic Operations Lab (ATOL). This position is in support of the Langley Information Technolg! y Enhanced Services (LITES) contract and is located onsite at NASA Langley Research Center. Under the LITES contract staff are responsible for the development and maintenance of the NASA Langley Research Center’s Airspace and Traffic Operations Simulation (ATOS) research system, one of the largest airspace distributed simulation systems in the world. The ATOS system consists of multiple computer workstation-based aircraft simulators networked together that are able to perform joint simulations with other NASA research centers, the FAA, and MITRE. Under the auspices of the Joint Planning Development Office (JPDO) Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) initiative, NASA uses ATOS to conduct research into the feasibility of advanced Air Traffic Management (ATM) concepts in an effort to solve real world problems.
The responsibilities include; the daily operations in the customer’s Air Traffic Operations Lab (ATOL) onsite at NASA Langley Research Center,! the execution of simulation software, collection and processi! ng of research data, computer systems hardware and software troubleshooting and repair, and the demonstration of complex simulation scenarios to internal and external customers. Responsibilities also include interaction in a professional environment with experiment participants from the aviation industry as Subject Matter Experts. Other duties will include the creation and maintenance of operations procedures, configuration management of lab hardware and software, assistance in writing test plans, and reporting and tracking of system problems. The candidate will join a lean Agile process, fast paced research environment and will work with NASA and Contractor Subject Matter Experts in support of one of the world’s most unique facilities for Modeling & Simulation, Aircraft Aerodynamics Modeling, and Air Traffic Management research.
