Summary

The opportunity for Sustaining Engineering Support on the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) Instrument involves providing critical engineering support for the operation and performance of the Sample Manipulation System (SMS) aboard the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover. This work is essential for the continued analysis of Martian samples and includes managing the SMS, developing operational scripts, and conducting testing and analyses related to the instrument's performance. The contractor must possess specialized knowledge and experience with the SMS, as the work requires a deep understanding of the unique complexities involved in operating this equipment in a Martian environment. Given the specialized nature of the work and the historical context of the SMS's development, this opportunity is primarily suited for contractors with a proven track record in space engineering and operations, particularly those with prior experience working with NASA or similar projects.
