The Gateway Human Systems Integrator will support the Human Health and Performance (HHP) Directorate and the Health and Medical Technical Authority (HMTA) at NASA/JSC. The position will be part of a team of integrators and subject matter experts (SMEs) who work together to ensure NASA human spaceflight programs adequately incorporate and implement NASA HMTA standards from NASA-STD-3001 into vehicle design. The Gateway Human Systems Integrator will obtain and maintain technical knowledge across all human health and performance disciplines and engage SMEs for the details. HHP disciplines include crew health, environmental factors, medical operations, physiology, anthropometry, strength and biomechanics, maintenance and housekeeping, safety, habitability and architecture, information management, and displays and controls. The position will participate in designated meetings and working groups as a mechanism for monitoring the incorporation of HHP design consideration in vehicle design. The Gateway Human Systems Integrator will monitor how well HMTA requirements are met, ensure that issues of unmet or under met requirements are documented, communicate the status of these issues to the HMTA/HHP team, and prepare materials for communicating awareness or escalating issues as needed. The Gateway Human Systems Integrator will be responsible for resolving technical issues within the HHP disciplines by defining the problem, proposing a solution, and incorporating input from HHP SMEs and external stakeholders. The position will interface with HMTA and JSC HHP management as well as with Program personnel. HMTA Lessons learned while providing support to Human Spaceflight Programs are leveraged to improve HMTA standards and strategic processes.
