** Job Details
** New ideas are all around us, but only a few will change the world. That's our focus  ask the biggest questions, then search the universe for answers - literally. We build upon ideas that have guided generations, then share our discoveries to inspire generations to come. Your mission - your opportunity - is to seek out the answers that bring us one step closer.

If you're driven to discover, create, and inspire something that lasts a lifetime and beyond, you're ready for JPL.Located in Pasadena, California, JPL has a campus-like environment situated on 177 acres in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and offers a work environment unlike any other: we inspire passion, foster innovation, build collaboration, and reward excellence.##
** Responsibilities:
** The
** Flight Software and Systems Engineering Section
** delivers end-to-end flight system and flight software engineering across all mission phases.

The section provides leadership in information systems engineering, autonomous behaviors and fault protection, advanced flight software architectures, embedded systems, EDL systems, and project V&V. Its responsibilities include planning, requirements development, architecture definition, integration, modeling, analysis, ATLO support, and mission operations.

The
** Fault Protection and Autonomous Behaviors Group
** ensures the technical integrity of systems by performing cross-cutting systems engineering functions for off-nominal behaviors and events. Fault protection engineers are responsible for the protective mechanisms that preserve system functionality in the presence of faults and are involved throughout project life cycles.

The Europa Clipper spacecraft is currently in its Cruise operations phase where it will enter orbit around Jupiter in 2030 and make approximately 45 close flybys to the Jovian moon, Europa. Using a suite of instruments, Europa Clipper will seek to confirm evidence of a subsurface water ocean which may have conditions that are favorable for life.

We are seeking an inquisitive and highly motivated
** Fault Protection Systems Engineer I
** to join the Europa Clipper systems and fault protection teams to provide operations support for the Europa Clipper project, reporting to the Europa Clipper Fault Protection and Systems Lead.

You will be expected to support spacecraft operations during the Cruise phase of the mission for both nominal and off-nominal activities and events. You will be expected to identify and solve complex open-ended problems with curiosity and dedication.## Your tasks include but are not limited to:
* Evaluating telemetry from the spacecraft for expected behaviors and any unexpected deviations in performance
* Providing an assessment of the spacecraft and fault protection systems at operational status meetings
* Reviewing operations products from a systems and fault protection perspective
* Providing analysis and test support for planned and unplanned activities during the Cruise phase
* Providing V&V support for flight software updates
* Updating operational procedures, contingency plans and activity products
* Updating operational trending and data analysis tools
* Investigating strategic tools and processes for the Cruise and Tour phases## You will work independently and within a team environment, collaborating with others on tasks performed across a spectrum of disciplines and will need to have excellent writing and presentation skills.##
