Today's Job Spotlight
"As
an engineer in the Mechanical
Design Division of the Propulsion
Laboratory at Marshall, my job
essentially involves the design
of mechanical ground support
equipment in support of various
projects. I’m working
the MGSE Team of the Fastrac/60K
Engine as part of the Low Cost
Technologies Program. I’m
responsible for the design of
the Vertical Engine Installer,
which will be used to support
testing of the Frastrac/60K
Engine. I’ve been involved
with this project from its beginning,
which has allowed me to make
inputs to the design of some
of the engine components. Also,
the cooperative nature of this
program has allowed me to travel
and be involved with the design
process from its initial concept
through fabrication to operator
usage.
I chose NASA because I’ve
always been fascinated by the
high level of work that is done
here. I’ve had the opportunity
to work with some of the best
and brightest engineers and
scientists in their fields.
My colleagues have been a tremendous
help - sharing their knowledge
and expertise with me - and
the team spirit is evident."
