About this file
This is a labor category descriptions document for the Project Engineering, Manufacturing, and Science Services (PEMSS) contract at NASA Ames Research Center. The document provides detailed position specifications for over 90 labor categories organized by discipline, including technical qualifications, experience requirements, degree prerequisites, and core duties for each role.
The labor categories span multiple engineering disciplines (aerospace, electrical, mechanical, fluidics, bioengineering), technical support roles (machinist, fabricator, assembly technician), administrative positions, and specialized subject matter expert (SME) roles. Entry-level positions typically require bachelor's degrees with 0-5 years of experience, while senior and lead positions require 10-20+ years of specialized experience, often with master's degrees preferred. Notable categories include Aerospace Engineers (Levels I-IV and Tech Lead), Electrical Engineers (Levels I-IV and Tech Lead), Mechanical Engineers (Levels I-IV and Tech Lead), various technician classifications, and specialized SME positions in areas such as flight dynamics, systems engineering, thermal engineering, project management, and IT security. Each category specifies technical disciplines (such as orbital dynamics, CFD analysis, CAD modeling, cybersecurity architecture) and detailed duty descriptions. The document also includes non-engineering support roles such as administrative assistants, grants managers, collaboration managers, and science writers with varying experience and educational requirements. This comprehensive labor classification structure establishes the workforce composition framework for NASA ARC's engineering and science services contracting.
