BAH Job
"I was approached last week by a hiring manager wanting to
know if I knew anyone interested in doing System Engineering
for the Constellation Programs EVA Project Office. They are
looking for someone with less than 5-years experience but
would probably look at someone with more if they are from
outside of the NASA EVA domain.
If you know of anyone and you think they may be interested
please let me know."
