A year of Covid restrictions haven\u2019t stopped the employees of S&K Global Solutions from winning accolades from NASA at Johnson Space Center (JSC).
\nOn a recent Contractor Performance and Assessment Review (CPAR), the SKGS Intelligent Robotic and Control System Services (IRCSS) team achieved exceptional scores for their work on a variety of projects and missions.
\n\u201cThese performance reviews are an important way that NASA maintains high-quality contractors and employees,\u201d said Paula Lawton, SKGS PMO Manager. \u201cThe work culture at NASA is what we like to call badge-less. Everyone is part of the same team working together, whether you\u2019re employed by the government or a civilian company. That\u2019s why contractor performance is constantly under review. We are evaluated in several areas like quality of work, maintaining schedule, cost control, management, and other indicators.\u201d
\nSKGS has been contracted by NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center since 1997, when the company started work on the Automation and Robotics contract. Today, the IRCSS II contract supports research and development for Intelligent Automation Systems, Human-Centered Systems, Robotics Systems Development, and associated hardware, software, and project integration.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur employees work on several projects across the campus here at JSC,\u201d said IT Professional Supervisor Eugene McMahon, who oversees the SKGS personnel. \u201cWe\u2019re involved in an upcoming Orion launch with flight software support. We have employees working on a next generation spacesuit called xEMU and other new technologies to manage moisture and evaporation, called SERFE, that is currently being tested on the International Space Station. Those are just a few.\u201d
\nSKGS hires for many different roles at JSC, including administrative project support, technicians who are hands on in the labs creating and building, engineers involved in research and development, and interns that spend any moment of free time to learn and be a part of projects.
\n\u201cNASA is an exciting place to work. We contribute to so many advancements made in science and technology that you feel like you\u2019re making a difference in the world,\u201d said McMahon.
\nAn exceptional CPAR evaluation is often cited during a proposal process to affirm the past performance record of a company, so it can have important implications for a company\u2019s ability to gain future contracts.
\n\u201cI think the CPAR evaluation is not just a reflection of our work, but of our team,\u201d said Lawton. \u201cWe have employees who\u2019ve been with S&K since the start of the contract. While they enjoy being part of the NASA family, they\u2019re also proud to work for this company. That kind of culture and respect can only translate into great reviews by our customer.\u201d<\/p>\n
