Member of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) mission operations engineering team at the NOAA Satellite Operations Control Center (SOCC) in Suitland, MD.  To perform duties as described:
Provide spacecraft engineering health and safety support for the two series of civilian operational environmental satellites in the GOES (geostationary operational environmental satellite) constellation at the Satellite Operation Control Center (SOCC) in Suitland, MD.
Provide detection and analysis of on-orbit performance of payload (imager, sounder, and solar x-ray imager), nominal and non-nominal.  For non-nominal generate appropriate inputs to either correct or minimize the impact to operations.
Provide life-cycle tracking of the spacecraft by maintaining a lifetime trend analysis for the payload for the GOES IM (9-12) and GOES 13 (NOP) series of spacecraft.
Brief operations and management personnel at weekly meetings, as well as when requested, on the status of the payload for the GOES IM and NOP series.
Perform recurring and special subject matter training related to the payload as related to the GOES IM and NOP series for the operations personnel.
Support 24/7/365 operations and respond to all pages/calls from operations personnel within 30-minutes of receipt.
Participate in all anomaly investigations, testing, response planning, and event reporting requirements for the payload for the GOES IM and NOP series.
Prepare and update all operational procedures related to the payload as it applies to the GOES IM and NOP series of spacecraft.
Provide pre-launch, end-to-end test, thermal vacuum, simulation, launch, and post launch testing support for the payload for the GOES NOP series.
Support the development and verification of spacecraft databases, command procedures, standard operating procedures, contingency operating procedures, and pages for the payload for the GOES NOP series of spacecraft.
Participate in GOES IM and NOP special operations including spacecraft maneuvers, storage mode operations (entrance, exit, and re-spin), safe-hold mode operations, eclipse, keep-out-zone, etc.Job Requirements

 Company Overview

Honeywell can trace its roots back to 1885, when an inventor named Albert Butz patented the furnace regulator and alarm. He formed the Butz Thermo-Electric Regulator Co., Minneapolis, on April 23, 1886, and a few weeks later invented a simple, yet ingenious device that he called the "damper flapper."


Here's how it worked. When a room cooled below a predetermined temperature, a thermostat closed the circuit and energized an armature. This pulled the stop from the motor gears, allowing a crank attached to the main motor shaft to turn one-half revolution. A chain connected to the crank opened the furnace's air damper to let in air. This made the fire burn hotter. When the temperature rose to the preset level, the thermostat signaled the motor to turn another half revolution, closing the damper and damping the fire. The temperature correction was automatic. Over the years, many Honeywell products have been based upon similar, but more complicated closed-loop systems.
