Belong. Connect. Grow. with KBR!

Around here, we define the future.

At KBR we share one goal: to improve the world responsibly as a company of innovators, thinkers, creators, explorers, volunteers, and dreamers.

KBR is seeking a Dragonfly Thermal Control Subsystem* requirements engineer to support the Dragonfly mission for KBR’s Science and Space Division. The Dragonfly Lander is a car-sized, nuclear-powered octocopter. It is scheduled to launch in 2026 and arrive at Titan in 2034. It will study that ocean world and collect scientific findings that could change our understanding of life in the universe. Titan is a cryogenic environment, making the thermal insulation and thermal testing development of this program extremely important. We're looking for help on two tasks: the first is foam, and the second is what we call the DTM, meaning the Development Test Module. Although different tasks, they are adjacent and collaborative.

The work will be performed at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, MD.

The Dragonfly Thermal Control Subsystem* requirements engineer will be responsible for:

• Support Thermal Control Subsystem (as listed in bullet 5) requirements activities:

Work with Thermal Control Subsystem program manager, system engineer(s) and lead engineer(s) to generate requirement documents. Such as component technical specifications, interface control documents. This includes cleaning up and finalizing level 5 requirements specifications and deriving applicable level 6 specification specifications for vendors and internal development.

Support requirement activities for the component quotation and procurement efforts

Support requirement activities for the hardware procured through vendor subcontracts

Host or support requirements related meetings as needed
