Nasa Electrical Engineer Halo Power Systems

Are you passionate about human space exploration, understanding the origins of the universe, and working with a passionate and diverse team to make a difference? If you are, we need you!

MRI, a woman-owned Technologies and Engineering Services company, has an exciting opportunity for an Electrical Power Systems Engineer for HALO on the JETS II Contract at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. We are looking for an Electrical Power Systems (EPS) Engineer to support Gateway's Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO) project.
