Duties

  • Generates or reviews risk analyses; safety, mishap, and contingency plans, as well as Expectation of Casualty Analysis in support of Ames Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Small Unmanned Aircraft (sUA) flight projects.
  • Provides analyses to the RSR, the Lead RSO, Airworthiness and Flight Safety Review Board (AFSRB), and Flight Readiness Review Board (FRRB) for review and approval. Develops methodologies, work instructions, and training materials.
  • Generates or reviews Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) hazard analyses. Identifies flight hazards and controls to mitigate flight hazards in aerospace or aeronautical vehicle tests or operations, and verifies the mitigations.
  • Conducts conceptual definition studies and complex detailed analysis to establish preliminary designs and alternatives for a variety of advanced systems on proposed new projects for which no precedents are available.
  • Performs theoretical, aerodynamic studies to evaluate various factors (performance, stability, trajectory, etc.) that affect flight safety. Performs Expectation of Casualty Analysis of the public and protected area impact probability studies.
  • Calculates flight safety limits for guided and unguided launch vehicles. Identifies alternative approaches to develop the most effective solutions. Analyzes post-flight data to determine violations of limits or variations in predicted performance.
  • Integrates various study and analysis results into comprehensive technical briefings and reports to review panels and senior management to ensure that the risks for the mission are understood.
  • Provides technical advice in flight systems safety both within and outside the organization. Serves as a member of internal and external working groups, review panels, and failure investigation boards as required.
  • Maintain and submit to the Ames Range Safety Representative (RSR) for review and approval revisions and updates of the Range Safety Personnel Training Plan QS-TR-2240, and the Range Safety Risk Management Plan QS-TR-2316.
  • Foster a culture of engagement, diversity, inclusiveness, excellence and innovation. Champion NASA's commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility to create an environment that promotes a commitment to safety, integrity, and teamwork.
