Our work focuses on understanding human response to dynamic loads reducing injury risks during spacecraft landings and spacesuit operations and shaping design requirements that enable safer hardware for astronauts.
AIBEL works with vehicle habitat and suit designers across multiple NASA Programs including the EVA and Human Surface Mobility Program Commercial Crew Program International Space Station Gateway Human Landing System and Orion. Your work will be cross-disciplinary interfacing with scientists engineers hardware designers and physiologists across the NASA and vendor communities including peers at other NASA centers.
You Will:
- Plan and execute evaluations to assess biomechanics and potential injury risks.
- Maintain expertise in applied injury biomechanics including vehicle and suit requirements success criteria and verification methods.
- Contribute to the development and validation of requirements and verification strategies for crewed vehicles and suits.
- Perform design reviews research testing and data analysis to support human certification.
- Support human-in-the-loop testing to assess seat suit and vehicle configurations.
- Support testing using Anthropomorphic Test Devices (ATDs).
- Conduct finite element simulations to analyze loads and dynamics on crewmembers including setting initial conditions running LS-DYNA models and processing results.
- Analyze and reduce test data using appropriate statistical techniques.
- Prepare technical reports manuscripts and presentations; deliver findings at internal reviews and scientific conferences as required.
- Demonstrate a positive problem-solving attitude with an enthusiasm for working as part of an exceptional team
- Demonstrate a strong work ethic and commitment to the customer and team
