Peraton drives missions of consequence spanning the globe and extending to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. As the world s leading mission capability integrator, we are a trusted provider of highly differentiated national security solutions and technologies that keep people safe and secure. Peraton serves as a valued partner to essential government agencies, including the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense, Department of Health and Human Services, and NASA. Every day, our 10,000 employees do the can t be done, solving the most daunting challenges facing our customers. P erforms non-routine assignments of substantial variety and complexity using operational precedents, which are not fully applicable. Such assignments, which are typically parts of broader assignments, are screened to eliminate unusual design problems. Performs complex tasks, demonstrating full competency. Will work independently or direct a small group. Performs duties in areas such as mechanical maintenance, cleanroom operations, mechanical integration, plating and machining operations, metal cutting and recertification of lifting and handling devices and pressure vessel systems. Works with or leads other technicians in performing spacecraft environmental tests; repairing and maintaining equipment, facilities and systems; assembly, integration and handling of ground support equipment; testing and inspection of lifting device equipment and pressure vessels; operating conventional and CNC equipment and machine tools to fabricate flight and non-flight H/W components; fabrication of flight and test thermal blankets and test cables/harnesses. Duties and Responsibilities May also perform other duties associated within area of assignment as directed by lead personnel or management. Perform complex mechanical integration tasks by providing hands-on support to flight projects by using specialized equipment and techniques Will work with engineers and technicians in the assembly, integration, testing, lifting, transport and launch support of space flight components, hardware, instruments and spacecraft. Will lead efforts to integrate flight hardware components, perform critical crane and fork lifts, support the fabrication and modification of specialized components, work with detailed assembly procedures and participate in logistic activities either within a team environment or individually. Will provide support on space flight hardware performing operations requiring a high degrees of skill and finesse. Will interface with multiple groups, such as QA, Safety, Contamination, etc to ensure that NASA guidelines are strictly met. Mentor fellow technicians in the proper practices of handling, assembly, testing and design of flight hardware. Develops or reviews designs by extracting and analyzing a variety of engineering data. Applies conventional engineering practices to develop, prepare or recommend schematics, designs, specifications, electrical drawings and parts lists. Examples of designs include detailed circuit diagrams; hardware fittings or test equipment involving a variety of mechanisms; conventional piping systems and building site layouts. Conducts tests or experiments requiring selection and adaptation or modification of a wide variety of critical test equipment and test procedures; sets up and operates equipment; records data, measures and records problems of significant complexity that sometimes require resolution at a higher level and analyzes data and prepares test reports. Applies methods outlined by others to limited segments of research and development projects; constructs experimental or prototype models to meet engineering requirements; conducts tests or experiments and redesigns as necessary and records and evaluates data and reports findings. May a lso perform temporary duties in other areas or other duties associated with area of assignment. Nature of Position Challenges A high level of initiative is required and the ability to work with other technicians and engineers in a team atmosphere to accomplish task objectives.
