STE-TX-HO-14:077: Biomedical Engineer (Houston, TX)
Category Engineering/Technical
Group Science, Technology and Engineering
Location TX-Houston
Schedule Full Time
Job Description:
The principal reason for the Biomedical Engineer position in Houston, TX is to provide engineering and technical support to NASA-sponsored flight and ground sensorimotor research and operations conducted by the Neurosciences Laboratory. The Neurosciences Laboratory is a component of the Biomedical Research and Environmental Sciences Division, which is responsible for the performance of biomedical research focused on: 1) understanding the normal human response to space flight, and 2) developing, testing, and delivering countermeasures to those untoward responses that may affect crew health, safety, and/or performance during or after space flight missions.
• Plan, schedule, conduct or coordinate detailed phases of the engineering work in a part of a major project or in a total project of moderate scope.
• Perform work that involves conventional engineering practices but may include a variety of complex features and difficult coordination requirements.
• Application of engineering principles and practice of related specialties
• Collect, reduce, collate, analyze, and archive operational, flight, flight analog, and ground data.
• Analyze experimental data and recommend modifications to analysis procedures and analytical methods; develop and modify software for data reduction and analysis.
• Operate specialized equipment used in tests on human subjects.
• Perform appropriate hazard and failure modes analyses as required.
• Operate data acquisition systems during hardware verification, science verification, and actual data acquisition from human subjects.
• Maintain laboratory hardware systems, troubleshoot problems, and perform repairs.
• Integrate new hardware and software systems for new and existing experiments.
• Prepare and update appropriate documentation of software and hardware development activities.
• Evaluate software and hardware for potential acquisition; contact vendors for information, and initiate procurement.
• Assist in the preparation of human research protocols, technical reports, presentations, and manuscripts.
• Participate in test readiness reviews and meetings related to the development and implementation of human research protocols, detailed test plans, etc.
• Contribute to the formulation and documentation of standard procedures in the laboratory.
• Will perform other assignments and duties as required.
REQUIRED EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE:
• Bachelor’s Degree with 3 years of experience or Master’s Degree with 0-2 years of experience; or equivalent related experience.
• Must be skilled in the design, testing, evaluation, and integration of biomechanical instrumentation intended for use with human subjects.
• Experience with biomedical measures, real-time data acquisition systems, and signal processing is also required.
• Must be able to independently evaluate, select, and apply standard and advanced engineering techniques, procedures and criteria and use judgment to make decisions to provide engineering solutions to problems.
• Advanced knowledge of human physiology to understand biomedical experiments designed to characterize the human adaptive response to space flight and space flight analogs is also a requirement.
• Previous experience working with test subjects is also required.
• Must have the ability to work effectively both in small teams and independently; and work effectively in a multidisciplinary setting and where there are frequently divergent or competing goals for the project implementation and outcome.
REQUIRED SKILLS/TRAINING:
• PC Skills in Microsoft office products are required.
• Must have advanced computer skills including the ability to develop data acquisition and analysis software for specific laboratory applications.
• Is expected to participate as a member of a research team working closely with principal investigators, astronauts, subjects, support scientists, and other engineers.
• Communication skills must be excellent.
• Must develop a thorough knowledge of NASA's and Wyle's policies and procedures governing the use of human test subjects.
• Strong Matlab and LabView programming skills are required.
Standard Company Requirements:
• Position requires U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Resident Status.
• Applicant must include desired salary in application submission.
• Must comply with Safety, Health and Environmental plan, policies and procedures.
• Must comply with the Quality Assurance plan, policies and procedures.
• Must maintain regular and acceptable attendance.
• Responsible for completing all required training.
• Perform other assignments and duties, as required.
Physical & Cognitive Requirements:
• Speaking: Verbal communication using the English language.
• Written Communication: Produce written work using the English language.
• Organization: Prioritize multiple, competing assignments.
• Performance Level: Perform effectively in a fast paced, demanding work environment.
• Seeing: Must be able to read reports and use computers and other office electronics.
• Hearing: Must be able to hear well enough to communicate with co-workers.
• Fingering/Grasping/Feeling: Must be able to write, type and use phone system.
• Must be able to stand, walk, climb, stoop, kneel, lift, pull and push.
• Travel Requirement: Must be willing to travel as necessary to meet business needs.
This position is eligible for relocation.
