As NASA's largest engineering solutions provider working together with NASA at centers across the United States, Amentum is seeking a Gateway Test and Verification Systems Engineer to support NASA's Gateway Program at Johnson Space Center with Aerodyne Industries, a teammate company. The Gateway is a cornerstone of the Artemis campaignan orbiting platform that will enable long-duration lunar missions and serve as a staging point for exploration beyond the Moon. In this role, you'll contribute to the planning, coordination, and execution of verification and validation (V&V) activities across Gateway systems. You'll work alongside NASA engineers and subject-matter experts to ensure that the systems being designed, built, and tested perform as intended in the demanding environment of space.

Key Responsibilities

• Support development and maintenance of Verification and Validation (V&V) plans, verification matrices, and test procedures for Gateway systems and subsystems.
• Assist with requirements decomposition and traceability, ensuring every requirement has a clear verification method (test, analysis, inspection, or demonstration).
• Participate in integration and test planning, coordinating with NASA teams and international partners.
• Contribute to the development of test configurations, procedures, and documentation for subsystem and system-level tests.
• Support Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs) and Verification Reviews (VRs) by providing technical content and tracking verification closure.
• Capture, organize, and document verification evidence and test results to maintain full lifecycle traceability.
• Work collaboratively with other systems engineering, integration, and safety disciplines to ensure coherent system verification approaches.
• Identify opportunities to improve test and verification processes, tools, and templates within the JETS II organization.

• Typically requires a bachelor's degree in Engineering with experience in the field or in a related area.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution.
• Previous experience in systems engineering, test engineering, or verification and validation for aerospace or other complex systems.
• Familiarity with requirements management and verification processes (e.g., Sharepoint, DOORS, JAMA, or equivalent tools).
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and organizational skills.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in an integrated, multi-disciplinary environment.

Requisition Preferences

• Exposure to NASA programs, spaceflight hardware development, or aerospace verification practices.
• Working knowledge of NASA Systems Engineering processes (NPR 7123.1) or INCOSE guidelines.
• Experience with environmental testing, data review, or hardware integration activities.
• Familiarity with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) concepts and SysML-based tools.
• Prior experience supporting Gateway, Orion, ISS, or Artemis-related efforts a plus.
